Richmond is a clean run straight down I-95, about 110 miles south of our Northeast DC yard, and it is one of our steadiest lanes. A lot of these moves are families leaving the DMV for more space: a Columbia Heights walk-up household heading to the Fan District, an Arlington condo couple landing in Church Hill or the West End, or a state-job transfer down toward the capitol. Whatever the move, Payne Free Moving keeps it on one truck with the same crew the whole way, so the hands that load your boxes in DC are the hands that carry them into the Richmond house.
The drive is roughly two hours, which means almost every Richmond move loads and unloads the same day. Marcus trains the crews on DC’s hardest access first, so a Shaw rowhouse with a narrow brick stoop and no rear alley, a posted No-Parking sign on a one-way street a 26-foot truck can barely fit, or a NoMa high-rise with a loading dock and a freight window are all planned before we arrive. We are a licensed and insured mover, registered across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with US DOT and MC authority and $1M in cargo coverage, and we are a full-service general mover for any household, apartment, or office. We never subcontract the job or hand it to a broker. Get a Washington to Richmond moving quote, or see how our long-distance moving service runs this I-95 lane.
You approve a flat rate before loading, and it holds the full 110 miles unless an access surprise we could not see comes up. Send us the home sizes and the access at both ends, and that number carries from your room in DC to the room in Richmond. The idea is simple: take the Payne out of the part of a move that usually causes it.
Washington → Richmond — Estimated Cost
