Shipping a car in West Virginia
West Virginia is mountainous, and I-64, I-77 and I-79 are the main routes carriers use; homes on narrow hollow roads usually need a meeting point. The West Virginia Turnpike links Charleston with Virginia and the Carolinas.
Main routes: I-64, I-77, I-79 and I-68.
Cities we serve include Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown and Parkersburg, plus every other town in West Virginia: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from West Virginia
Winter weather
Winters in West Virginia bring snow and road salt, roughly December to March. Carriers keep running, but a storm can push pickup or delivery by a day or two. A car on an open carrier will arrive salty, so plan a wash.
Mountain passes
Routes through West Virginia can cross mountain passes where winter storms and chain laws slow trucks. Building a spare day or two into a winter pickup window takes the pressure off.
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 West Virginia?
Once the car arrives, register it with the West 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.
