Most in-state moves take about 1 to 2 days after pickup. Traffic on I-95, the Capital Beltway, and the Hampton Roads tunnels can affect timing, so your driver will call ahead to confirm.

Virginia Car Shipping Tips
A few Virginia-specific things that can affect your shipment.
Moving to Virginia?
New residents have 30 days to title and register their vehicles with the Virginia DMV. Virginia requires an annual safety inspection, and vehicles registered in Northern Virginia also need an emissions inspection. Check the Virginia DMV for current requirements.
Military Moves
We ship vehicles for service members at Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Fort Belvoir, Quantico, Fort Gregg-Adams, and the Pentagon. Have your report date handy when you request a quote.
Hurricane Season
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Pickups and deliveries in Hampton Roads can shift when a storm is in the forecast.
Northern Virginia Traffic
Rush hour on I-95, I-66, and the Beltway can slow pickups and deliveries. Midday and weekend appointments are often easier for drivers.
Pricing
How Much Does Virginia Car Shipping Cost?
Here's what determines the price of shipping a car to, from, or within Virginia.
Distance & Route
Routes along I-95 and I-64 are busy and efficient. Remote Southwest Virginia addresses cost more to reach.
Metro vs. Rural
Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Hampton Roads have the most trucks. Rural pickups can take longer to fill.
Season & Demand
Summer PCS season, moving season, and the fall snowbird rush can all affect availability and price.
Open or Enclosed
Open transport is the most affordable. Enclosed costs more but shields your vehicle from weather and debris.
Vehicle Size
Full-size trucks and SUVs take more trailer space and weight capacity than sedans.
Pickup Flexibility
A flexible pickup window gives us more carriers to choose from — which usually means a better price.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Some companies advertise a low number to win your booking, then raise it once your car is waiting on a truck. We don't. The price we quote is the price you pay — with $0 due when you book.

FAQ
Virginia Car Shipping FAQs
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Virginia?
The price depends on distance, route, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, season, and how flexible your dates are. Routes along I-95 are usually the most cost-effective. Request a free quote and we'll give you a final price — not an estimate that changes later.
How long does car shipping to or from Virginia take?
It depends mostly on distance. Trips to nearby states often take 1 to 2 days after pickup, while Virginia to Florida commonly takes about 2 to 5 days and cross-country routes about 6 to 10 days.
Do you ship cars within Virginia?
Yes. We handle in-state moves like Northern Virginia to Virginia Beach or Richmond to Roanoke. Every shipment is door-to-door.
How long do I have to register my car after moving to Virginia?
New residents have 30 days to title and register with the Virginia DMV. You'll also need a safety inspection, and Northern Virginia vehicles need an emissions inspection. Check the DMV for the latest requirements.
Can you ship a car for a military PCS move in Virginia?
Yes. We ship vehicles for service members moving to or from Norfolk, Langley-Eustis, Fort Belvoir, Quantico, and other Virginia installations. Share your report date when you request a quote.
Can you ship a car to a student at UVA or Virginia Tech?
Yes. We ship vehicles to and from Charlottesville, Blacksburg, Williamsburg, and other college towns. Someone 18 or older needs to be present at pickup and delivery.
Does hurricane season affect car shipping in Virginia?
It can. When a storm threatens Hampton Roads, carriers may delay pickups or deliveries for safety. Keeping your dates flexible between June and November helps.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your vehicle's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle are not covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can either pay a small deposit and the remaining balance directly to the driver at delivery, or pay in full at that point so nothing is due at delivery.
