The route from Norfolk, VA to Centennial, CO covers roughly 1,837 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.

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 $6,810 to $10,130 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 32 hours (4 driving days).

On the Norfolk side there are 336 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (197 of them authorized for interstate work), and 826 around Centennial (318 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 Centennial.

Norfolk has a population of about 231,013 and Centennial about 108,658. The two cities have comparable density (4,465 and 3,650 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Tips for this move

Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.
Ask about consolidated versus dedicated truck options—dedicated is faster but costs more.
Read the FMCSA 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet the carrier must provide.
Ship the car separately if you plan to fly; auto transport is priced by the mile like household goods.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Norfolk to Centennial?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,720 to $4,050 for a studio, $4,090 to $6,080 for a one-bedroom, $6,810 to $10,130 for a two-bedroom, $10,900 to $16,210 for a three-bedroom and $14,980 to $22,290 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Centennial from Norfolk?

About 1,837 road miles (1,557 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 32 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Virginia into Colorado 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 Norfolk to Centennial?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,640 to $3,720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,660 to $3,910. 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 Norfolk–Centennial corridor.
