Newport News, VA → Kill Devil Hills, NC · Short-haul move
About 103 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,970–$2,930, delivery in 1–2 days, 168 carriers on the Newport News side and 4 in Kill Devil Hills.
Moving from Newport News to Kill Devil Hills is a short-haul move of roughly 103 road miles, heading southeast from Virginia to North Carolina.
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 2 h 29 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,970 and $2,930, 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 4 around Kill Devil Hills (3 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 Kill Devil Hills.
Newport News has a population of about 183,230 and Kill Devil Hills about 4,000. Newport News is considerably denser (2,699 people per square mile versus 642), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in North Carolina than in Virginia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,240 to $1,850 for a studio, $1,240 to $1,850 for a one-bedroom, $1,970 to $2,930 for a two-bedroom, $3,150 to $4,690 for a three-bedroom and $4,330 to $6,450 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 103 road miles (87 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 29 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Virginia into North Carolina 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 $260 to $360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,110 to $1,640. 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 Newport News–Kill Devil Hills corridor.
