The route from Newport News, VA to Alexandria, VA covers roughly 147 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 3 h 14 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,210 and $3,290, before packing or storage.
On the Newport News side there are 168 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (89 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,203 around Alexandria (740 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 Alexandria.
Newport News has a population of about 183,230 and Alexandria about 160,662. Alexandria is the denser city (10,702 people per square mile versus 2,699 in Newport News), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
