OPEN car shipping

An open trailer is a safe and reliable option and the most common type of transport used for Virginia car shipping near you. With open transport, cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this option efficient and cost-effective. Vehicles are not protected from weather and road conditions and may accumulate a bit of dirt during their journey, which is to be expected.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is best for classic, exotic or luxury cars as well as motorcycles and powersports. Vehicles with low ground clearance may also require enclosed shipping, as the driver may need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to load them onto the truck. Enclosed transport protects your vehicle from most weather and road hazards, offering additional peace of mind when shipping your prized possession.

Top 5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Virginia

  • Before you start driving in Virginia, brush up on the state’s toll roads and understand the different toll payment options that are available (Virginia uses E-Zpass). If you’re shipping a vehicle to or from Virginia, remove your pass during transit to avoid undue tolls or fees.
  • If you’re a Virginia resident or are moving to the state permanently, check if your vehicle requires emissions testing for registration and make sure to meet the state’s emission standards.
  • Make sure to update your insurance policy to meet state requirements and register your vehicle with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within the required timeframe if moving to the state.
  • Familiarize yourself with High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in Virginia and be aware of the toll rates and regulations for using these lanes.
  • Leaving the state? Notify the Virginia DMV to change your vehicle status. If you have a disabled parking placard, you must return it in person or by mail.

Virginia car shipping FAQs

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, we have our own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route, and avoiding seasonal demand

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.

The bill of lading (BOL) is a legal document that will specify exactly what vehicle is to be transported from location A to location B and by whom. It will document the condition of the vehicle before it is turned over to the trucker at pickup and then document the condition again before it is turned over to the owner at delivery. The bill of lading serves as the contract between the trucker and the vehicle owner and includes the terms of that agreement. The final function of the bill of lading is as a receipt for the transaction.
