MOVING TO CHARLOTTESVILLE: WHAT TO KNOW

A few things our crews have learned from moving families in Charlottesville:

  • UVA move-in and move-out weeks are the busiest times to move in Charlottesville. Book as early as you can for those dates.
  • Charlottesville streets can be steep and narrow, especially near the university. Tell us about parking and stairs.
  • Moving to Albemarle County? Homes in areas like Crozet often have long driveways, so let us know about access.
  • Moving from Richmond? The I-64 drive is about 70 miles, and our long-distance team handles the full move.

About Charlottesville, VA

I had a wonderful experience with Cavalier Moving. They quickly returned my initial phone call and gave me a quote and answered all of my questions with ease! Communication leading up to and on the day of the move was great. My move team, Travis, Maurice, and Andrew were incredible! They were SO efficient and navigated challenges, like unanticipated road closures and tight stairwells, with ease! Would 100% use Cavalier Moving again.

Travis and his teammate had our 2 bedroom apartment fully turned over to our new apartment in no more than 5 hours. Truly a feat to watch them work! We so appreciated how smoothly our move in day went because of them.

My husband and I have been together for 10 years and we have moved as many times in all those years. Most of our moves have been stressful and a process that definitely causes gray hairs. But our most recent move with Cavalier Moving truly open my eyes to how important it is to have a solid moving team behind you. Now that we have a child we don't have time to spend all day hauling boxes ourselves. The process with Cavalier was very smooth. Booking the move was very easy and everyone that we dealt with from setting up the process to the actual movers were incredibly friendly. They arrived on time, they were quick yet methodical and took great care with all of our belongings. The move out of our old place and into our new place was seamless. Any of our future moves will absolutely be done with Cavalier Moving. I highly recommend them. The customer service is fantastic and they do a great job. Moving is never fun but when you have someone who makes the process run smoothly it really changes the process. We really appreciated it!
