Kill Devil Hills, NC → Durham, NC · Regional long-distance move
About 213 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,280–$3,390, delivery in 1–2 days, 4 carriers on the Kill Devil Hills side and 338 in Durham.
Moving from Kill Devil Hills to Durham is a regional long-distance move of roughly 213 road miles, heading west within North Carolina.
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 $2,280 to $3,390 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 22 min.
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 338 around Durham (194 interstate). For an in-state 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 Durham.
Kill Devil Hills has a population of about 4,000 and Durham about 305,561. Durham is the denser city (2,513 people per square mile versus 642 in Kill Devil Hills), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Kill Devil Hills and Durham are in North Carolina, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $370 to $520 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,210 to $1,780. 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–Durham corridor.
