Richmond, VA → Beverly Hills, CA · Cross-country move
About 2,699 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,920–$13,270, delivery in 7–14 days, 400 carriers on the Richmond side and 593 in Beverly Hills.
The route from Richmond, VA to Beverly Hills, CA covers roughly 2,699 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 $8,920 to $13,270 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 47 hours (6 driving days).
On the Richmond side there are 400 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (215 of them authorized for interstate work), and 593 around Beverly Hills (216 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 Beverly Hills.
Richmond has a population of about 237,257 and Beverly Hills about 32,000. Beverly Hills is the denser city (5,729 people per square mile versus 3,783 in Richmond), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,699 road miles (2,288 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 47 hours (6 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 California 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 $3,670 to $5,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,430 to $5,040. 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 Richmond–Beverly Hills corridor.
