International Movers to and from Alexandria
Moving to or from Alexandria means reserved street parking of up to five spaces, an application in by noon three full business days ahead and a daily price for each space and sign.
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
How do you reserve street parking for a moving truck in Alexandria, Virginia?
Alexandria had 160,662 residents on the Census Bureau’s estimate for 1 July 2025. The city issues temporary reserved parking, and moving is on the list: “weddings, funerals, wakes, parades, moving, loading and unloading, construction equipment, repairs and maintenance”.
The page also draws a line: “The City does not issue temporary reserved parking permits for private parties.” Visitors to a private party are handled through street parking passes from the Treasury division.
How many spaces can you reserve for a move in Alexandria?
“A maximum of 5 spaces can be reserved for weddings, wedding receptions, funerals, wakes, and moving.” Each space is about twenty feet, so the cap is about a hundred feet of kerb.
You need the number of spaces and the exact location: the address, the side of the street (north, south, east or west) and, for metered spaces, the meter number on each meter. Applications go through the city’s APEX online permitting system or in person at the Construction Permits and Inspections Section on Mark Center Drive.
What is the Alexandria deadline for a reserved parking application?
“Applications for temporary reserved parking spaces/signs must be submitted by 12 noon, three full business days prior to the date parking spaces are needed”.
Weekends and holidays are excluded from the count, and the page says later requests are not accepted. The city prints a timetable. On it a Monday move needs the application in by noon on the Tuesday before, and a Saturday or Sunday move also needs it by noon on the Tuesday.
That timetable rewards booking early in the week. A Friday move must be applied for by noon on Monday.
What does reserved parking cost in Alexandria?
The city charges by space and by sign. “Metered spaces: $40.00 per meter, per day.” “Non-metered spaces: $30.00 per space, per day.”
- Signs.
The page charges ten dollars for each No Parking sign for each day.
- Example.
Three non-metered spaces for one day cost $90 for the spaces plus the signs. That sum is our arithmetic and the city prints no worked example.
- Refunds.
“The City does not issue refunds for reserved temporary parking space signs unless the signs were not posted.”
- Someone in your space.
The page says to call the Alexandria Police Department’s non-emergency line. For problems with the signs themselves there is a separate city number open on weekdays.
Which neighbouring guides help with a move to Alexandria?
Alexandria is in Virginia, and the state rules for a UK license and an imported car are in the Virginia guide. The Washington DC guide and the Rockville guide cover the District and a Maryland city a short distance away, each with different rules.
Other Virginia cities of 50,000 or more include Virginia Beach 453,737; Chesapeake 255,332; Richmond 237,257; Newport News 183,230; Hampton 137,315. Only Norfolk publishes a permit rule that we have read. Across the state line, the Asheville guide covers North Carolina.
