Moving from Lee's Summit to Fairfax is a long-distance move of roughly 1,083 road miles, heading east from Missouri to Virginia.

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 $4,800 to $7,150 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 22 min.

On the Lee's Summit side there are 213 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (168 of them authorized for interstate work), and 534 around Fairfax (383 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 Fairfax.

Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Fairfax about 25,000. Fairfax is the denser city (3,869 people per square mile versus 1,582 in Lee's Summit), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Virginia is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Tips for this move

Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.
Verify the carrier's USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA site before paying a deposit.
Ask how the delivery window is calculated and what the delay compensation is.
Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lee's Summit to Fairfax?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,920 to $2,860 for a studio, $2,880 to $4,290 for a one-bedroom, $4,800 to $7,150 for a two-bedroom, $7,690 to $11,440 for a three-bedroom and $10,570 to $15,730 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Fairfax from Lee's Summit?

About 1,083 road miles (918 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 22 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Missouri 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Lee's Summit to Fairfax?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,560 to $2,210 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,990 to $2,920. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Lee's Summit–Fairfax corridor.
