Kill Devil Hills, NC → Chesapeake, VA · Short-haul move
About 68 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,350–$2,010, delivery in 1–2 days, 4 carriers on the Kill Devil Hills side and 321 in Chesapeake.
Chesapeake sits about 68 miles northwest of Kill Devil Hills, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Carolina to Virginia that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 52 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,350 and $2,010, before packing or storage.
On the Kill Devil Hills side there are 4 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (3 of them authorized for interstate work), and 321 around Chesapeake (201 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 Chesapeake.
Kill Devil Hills has a population of about 4,000 and Chesapeake about 255,332. The two cities have comparable density (642 and 737 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Virginia is a higher-cost state than North Carolina, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 68 road miles (58 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 52 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from North Carolina 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 $220 to $310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,590. 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 Kill Devil Hills–Chesapeake corridor.
