Norfolk, VA → Lake Havasu City, AZ · Cross-country move
About 2,511 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,720–$11,490, delivery in 7–14 days, 336 carriers on the Norfolk side and 24 in Lake Havasu City.
The route from Norfolk, VA to Lake Havasu City, AZ covers roughly 2,511 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 $7,720 to $11,490 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 44 hours (5 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 24 around Lake Havasu City (20 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 Lake Havasu City.
Norfolk has a population of about 231,013 and Lake Havasu City about 58,000. Norfolk is considerably denser (4,465 people per square mile versus 1,233), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 2,511 road miles (2,128 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 44 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Arizona 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 $3,480 to $4,910 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,260 to $4,800. 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 Norfolk–Lake Havasu City corridor.
