Moving from Virginia Beach to Portland is a long-distance move of roughly 666 road miles, heading northeast from Virginia 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 $3,930 to $5,840 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h 11 min.

On the Virginia Beach side there are 230 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (147 of them authorized for interstate work), and 113 around Portland (63 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 Portland.

Virginia Beach has a population of about 453,737 and Portland about 69,000. Portland is the denser city (3,176 people per square mile versus 1,878 in Virginia Beach), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Virginia Beach to Portland?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,570 to $2,340 for a studio, $2,360 to $3,510 for a one-bedroom, $3,930 to $5,840 for a two-bedroom, $6,280 to $9,350 for a three-bedroom and $8,640 to $12,850 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Portland from Virginia Beach?

About 666 road miles (565 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 11 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 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 Virginia Beach to Portland?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $980 to $1,390 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,610 to $2,370. 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 Virginia Beach–Portland corridor.
