What drives the price of a move to Fairfax:
How many rooms / cubic feet — the single biggest driver of your price.
Local moves are priced per volume; long-distance adds mileage and freight.
Full packing, bulky items and storage add to the base transport cost.
Fairfax sits at the center of the county it shares a name with, home to George Mason University and a steady mix of townhouses and single-family homes. A 2-bedroom move runs about $2,225 to $2,675 locally, or $4,550 to $5,450 for a long-distance haul. Downsizing to a 1-bedroom apartment near campus? Expect roughly $1,675 to $2,000 in-town, with our tool matching you to a licensed Virginia carrier.
Local Fairfax moves are priced by crew hours, so parking near a Mason-area apartment or a Fairfax City townhouse street shapes the bill more than distance. Long-distance moves out of the region switch to weight and mileage. Summer humidity and the George Mason academic calendar crowd the June-through-August window, when carrier schedules fill fastest. Booking on a weekday or outside peak season usually trims what a Fairfax household pays.
