Shipping a car in Virginia
Norfolk is home to the world's largest naval base, so Hampton Roads sees a constant flow of military moves, and Northern Virginia's government and tech jobs keep the DC suburbs busy. I-81 through the Shenandoah Valley is a main truck route between the Northeast and the South.
Main routes: I-95, I-64, I-81, I-66 and I-85.
Cities we serve include Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Richmond, Arlington and Roanoke, plus every other town in Virginia: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Virginia
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to Virginia?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Virginia DMV. Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the Canadian border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
