Jacksonville, FL → Hampton, VA · Long-distance move
About 657 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,900–$5,810, delivery in 2–5 days, 745 carriers on the Jacksonville side and 157 in Hampton.
Hampton sits about 657 miles northeast of Jacksonville, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Virginia that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,900 to $5,810 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h 2 min.
On the Jacksonville side there are 745 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (398 of them authorized for interstate work), and 157 around Hampton (88 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Hampton.
Jacksonville has a population of about 1 million and Hampton about 137,315. Hampton is the denser city (2,663 people per square mile versus 1,271 in Jacksonville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 657 road miles (557 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 2 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Florida into Virginia makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $970 to $1,380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,610 to $2,360. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Jacksonville–Hampton corridor.
