Virginia Car Shipping Costs: What to Expect
Understanding the factors that affect car shipping costs helps you plan your budget effectively. At Best Car Shipping Inc, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Distance
Longer distances generally mean higher overall costs, though the per-mile rate typically decreases for longer journeys. Cross-country shipments from Virginia to California will cost more than shipping to neighboring states like North Carolina or Maryland.
Vehicle Type
Larger vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and vans require more space on carriers and often cost more to ship. Specialty vehicles, modified cars, or inoperable vehicles may incur additional fees due to special handling requirements.
Transport Method
Open transport is our most economical option and suitable for most vehicles. Enclosed transport offers additional protection from weather and road debris, ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles, though at a higher cost.
Season
Demand fluctuates throughout the year, with summer months and January typically seeing higher rates. Virginia’s snowbird season (fall and spring) can also affect pricing as many residents ship vehicles to and from Florida.
Location
Urban areas like Richmond or Northern Virginia typically have lower shipping costs than rural locations. Remote pickups or deliveries may require additional time and resources, potentially increasing the price.
Timing
Expedited shipping costs more than standard service. Flexibility with pickup and delivery dates can help secure better rates, while guaranteed delivery windows typically come at a premium.
| Virginia Shipping Route | Distance | Estimated Cost (Open Transport) | Estimated Transit Time |
| Richmond to Miami, FL | 900 miles | $750-$950 | 3-5 days |
| Northern VA to New York, NY | 300 miles | $450-$600 | 1-2 days |
| Virginia Beach to Chicago, IL | 800 miles | $700-$900 | 2-4 days |
| Roanoke to Los Angeles, CA | 2,600 miles | $1,200-$1,500 | 7-10 days |
| Norfolk to Dallas, TX | 1,300 miles | $850-$1,050 | 4-6 days |

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Virginia Car Shipping
Proper preparation ensures your vehicle arrives safely at its destination. Follow these guidelines to get your car ready for shipping to or from Virginia:
Clean Your Vehicle
Thoroughly wash your vehicle’s exterior before shipping. A clean car allows for easier inspection and documentation of any existing damage. Take clear photos of all sides of your vehicle, including close-ups of any existing scratches, dents, or other damage.
Remove Personal Items
Empty your vehicle of personal belongings before transport. While some companies may allow a small amount of personal items (under 100 lbs) in the trunk, Best Car Shipping Inc recommends removing all items to avoid potential damage or theft. Items like:
- Electronic devices and chargers
- Clothing and personal effects
- Documents and valuables
- Aftermarket accessories that can be removed
Mechanical Preparation
Ensure your vehicle is in good working condition for shipping:
- Maintain only a quarter tank of gas (reduces weight and safety concerns)
- Check for and repair any fluid leaks
- Ensure the battery is charged and secure
- Verify tire pressure is at recommended levels
- Disable alarm systems or provide instructions to the driver
- For inoperable vehicles, inform us in advance for special equipment
Document Vehicle Condition
Before your vehicle is picked up in Virginia:
- Take date-stamped photographs of all sides of your vehicle
- Document any existing damage with close-up photos
- Note the current mileage
- Remove or secure any loose parts or custom accessories
- Make note of any operational quirks the driver should know
Required Documentation
Have these documents ready for the driver at pickup:
- Copy of your shipping order confirmation
- Valid photo identification
- Contact information for both pickup and delivery locations
- Vehicle registration (not required to be handed over, but should be verified)
- If someone else will be present at pickup or delivery, provide a written authorization
Special Considerations
Inform us about any special requirements:
- Low clearance vehicles that may require special loading procedures
- Modified vehicles with aftermarket parts
- Convertibles (ensure the top is secure or the soft top is up)
- Luxury or high-value vehicles that may require enclosed transport
- Antique or classic cars with special handling needs
- Electric vehicles with specific transport requirements
Pro Tip: Virginia experiences all four seasons, so consider the weather when shipping your vehicle. During winter months, ensure your antifreeze is at appropriate levels. For summer shipping, check that your cooling system is functioning properly to prevent overheating during transport.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes, all vehicles shipped with Best Car Shipping Inc are fully insured during transport. Our comprehensive insurance coverage protects your vehicle against damage that might occur during loading, transit, and unloading. Before transport, we conduct a detailed inspection to document your vehicle’s condition, and we recommend you do the same. In the rare event of damage, our straightforward claims process ensures prompt resolution.
Can I put personal items in my car during shipping?
While some auto transport companies allow a limited amount of personal items (typically up to 100 pounds in the trunk), Best Car Shipping Inc recommends removing all personal belongings from your vehicle before shipping.

Either you or your authorized representative must be present for both pickup and delivery. This is necessary to complete the inspection report, sign the Bill of Lading, and transfer responsibility of the vehicle. If you cannot be present, you can designate someone (at least 18 years old) to act on your behalf.

Best Car Shipping Inc offers both options for Virginia car shipping to meet your specific needs and budget.
