Richmond, VA → Fredericksburg, VA · Short-haul move
About 63 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,380–$2,050, delivery in 1–2 days, 400 carriers on the Richmond side and 152 in Fredericksburg.
Moving from Richmond to Fredericksburg is a short-haul move of roughly 63 road miles, heading north 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 47 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,380 and $2,050, before packing or storage.
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 152 around Fredericksburg (107 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 Fredericksburg.
Richmond has a population of about 237,257 and Fredericksburg about 28,000. Richmond is considerably denser (3,783 people per square mile versus 2,678), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Richmond and Fredericksburg are in Virginia, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $210 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,580. 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–Fredericksburg corridor.
