“495 movers were professional, on time and careful with all our belongings. Excellent communication and always available to answer questions. The price of the move was very reasonable and I would recommend 595 movers to anyone moving!”
Who makes this move
The counts do not say why a household left one state for the other.
Census counts 9,219 people moving Georgia to Virginia. The ACS 2024 figure carries a margin of plus or minus 3,137. In the other direction, 10,298 people moved Virginia to Georgia. Those are the published flows for the year. The counts do not say why a household left one state for the other.
Georgia reads 96.3 and Virginia reads 101.1. Those are BEA price parity figures for 2024, with the United States set at 100. Both states tax wages. Rates stay off this page. The parity figure is a statewide price level, not a rent quote and not a grocery receipt for the week you arrive.
What the job looks like
We have 18 reviews for this run, and that sample is small.
The most common run in our file is Atlanta to Virginia Beach. It is 582 miles, about 11 hours of driving. That drive time is not a promise of how many days the crew will be on the road. The order for service sets a delivery window, and that window is the date range you should plan around. Book the move against the window, not against one hour on a calendar.
The median reported price is $5,000. That figure is across 18 priced reviews. The middle half runs $2,900 to $8,400. We have 18 reviews for this run, and that sample is small. Prices mix home sizes and distances. Long-distance work is priced by weight and miles, so the same map can produce very different bills. Ask for the weight and the mileage basis on your own estimate before you compare it with these figures.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate, the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate.
Check the USDOT number and the household-goods authority. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul this lane. You can look the filing up with the license check before money changes hands. Charm is not an authority filing.
Get the estimate type in writing. Ask for a binding estimate or a not-to-exceed price, and know which one you signed. On a non-binding estimate, the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule is the short version of that duty. If the paper and the phone call disagree, believe the paper you can hold.
Put the delivery window and the deposit in the order. The window is set on the order for service, so ask for those dates in writing before you pay. Deposit terms belong in the same paperwork: how much, when it is due, and what happens if you cancel. Read the deposit guide and how to read a moving estimate with the quote beside you.
