Reverse: Augusta → Richmond

Moving from Richmond to Augusta is a cross-country move of roughly 3,217 road miles, heading northeast from California to Maine.

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 $9,730 to $14,480 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 56 hours (7 driving days).

On the Richmond side there are 252 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (86 of them authorized for interstate work), and 129 around Augusta (50 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 Augusta.

Richmond has a population of about 114,861 and Augusta about 19,000. Richmond is considerably denser (3,869 people per square mile versus 343), 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 Maine than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Richmond to Augusta?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,890 to $5,790 for a studio, $5,840 to $8,690 for a one-bedroom, $9,730 to $14,480 for a two-bedroom, $15,570 to $23,160 for a three-bedroom and $21,410 to $31,850 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Augusta from Richmond?

About 3,217 road miles (2,726 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 56 hours (7 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from California into Maine 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 Richmond to Augusta?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $4,510 to $6,360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,890 to $5,720. 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 Richmond–Augusta corridor.
