Kill Devil Hills, NC → Toms River, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 338 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,970–$4,410, delivery in 1–3 days, 4 carriers on the Kill Devil Hills side and 114 in Toms River.
Moving from Kill Devil Hills to Toms River is a regional long-distance move of roughly 338 road miles, heading north from North Carolina to New Jersey.
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 $2,970 to $4,410 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 32 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 114 around Toms River (61 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 Toms River.
Kill Devil Hills has a population of about 4,000 and Toms River about 100,899. Toms River is the denser city (2,356 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. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than North Carolina, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 North Carolina into New Jersey 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 $500 to $700 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,320 to $1,940. 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–Toms River corridor.
