Reverse: Lakewood → Williamsburg

The route from Williamsburg, VA to Lakewood, NJ covers roughly 280 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance 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 $2,850 to $4,240 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 32 min.

On the Williamsburg side there are 33 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (25 of them authorized for interstate work), and 171 around Lakewood (91 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 Lakewood.

Williamsburg has a population of about 16,000 and Lakewood about 143,765. Lakewood is the denser city (5,472 people per square mile versus 1,726 in Williamsburg), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Williamsburg to Lakewood?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,350 to $2,010 for a studio, $1,710 to $2,540 for a one-bedroom, $2,850 to $4,240 for a two-bedroom, $4,560 to $6,780 for a three-bedroom and $6,260 to $9,320 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lakewood from Williamsburg?

About 280 road miles (237 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 32 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 New Jersey 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 Williamsburg to Lakewood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $440 to $620 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,270 to $1,870. 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 Williamsburg–Lakewood corridor.
