Moving from Newport News to Richmond is a short-haul move of roughly 72 road miles, heading northwest within Virginia.
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 1 h 57 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,420 and $2,120, 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 400 around Richmond (215 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 Richmond.
Newport News has a population of about 183,230 and Richmond about 237,257. Richmond is the denser city (3,783 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.
