Covington is the seat of Newton County with a film-famous downtown square and surrounding historic neighborhoods. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) covers Covington at our standard hourly rate.
Covington is in Newton County. About 45 min east of Atlanta via I-20. Drive time is inside our standard hourly rate — there is no Newton County travel surcharge and no per-mile fuel fee.
Covington's downtown square (the streets around the courthouse) features 1900s-construction homes with original hardwoods, narrow doorways, and street-only loading. We send a 20-foot truck for downtown bookings and bring door-jamb pads. The Almon area and the subdivisions along Highway 278 are 2,500–4,000 sq ft suburban-to-rural homes with attached garages and reliable driveways. I-20 eastbound from Atlanta is the main approach and reliably thins out past Conyers.
Covington downtown historic moves typically run 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. Suburban 4-bedroom moves run 8–10+ hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Newton County or distance surcharge.
We move regularly through the downtown square area around the Newton County courthouse, the Almon subdivisions, and the homes along Highway 278. Our crews know which downtown streets exclude a 26-foot truck (most do — we send a 20-footer), and that I-20 eastbound thins out past Conyers for the last leg of the drive.

Most Covington jobs book 1–3 weeks out, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Newton County fill first. We confirm crew size, truck size, and arrival window in writing when you book, and we call the morning of the move with the crew's ETA. If a building or HOA in Covington needs a certificate of insurance, we issue it within 24 hours of getting the property manager's requirements.
Moving blankets, shrink wrap, straps, dollies, floor runners, and door-jamb protection come on the truck at no charge, along with bed disassembly and reassembly and TV dismount. Drive time to and from Covington is billed inside the hourly rate rather than added as a trip charge, and there are no per-stair, per-flight, or elevator fees.
Downtown Covington (Covington Square, Newton County Courthouse); Almon (Almon Road, Cornish Creek); Highway 278 Corridor (U.S. 278 corridor, Newton Plaza). Our crews scope parking, dock access, and elevator reservations for each address before move day rather than improvising on arrival.
We handle both directions at the same hourly rate — Covington to intown Atlanta, Covington to the northern or southern suburbs, and long-distance origins within Georgia. Because we are a licensed Georgia household-goods carrier (GA HHG #9320, USDOT #3657392) and fully insured, we can also handle the paperwork buildings and property managers ask for.
