Shipping a car in Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach is one of the larger markets in Virginia Beach city, Virginia, with roughly 454,808 residents, the 1st largest of the Virginia cities we cover. In a city this size the harder part of a booking is usually access rather than finding a truck: a full-size car hauler runs about 75 feet and needs somewhere it can legally stop and turn. Confirm the loading point when you book rather than leaving it to the driver on the day.

Virginia Beach works as a standalone pickup within reach of Norfolk (15 mi), Chesapeake (15 mi) and Portsmouth (20 mi). A Virginia run through this area may take in Norfolk on the same trip before heading out on I-64, I-81, and I-95. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Virginia Beach to the larger markets around it: Richmond, VA at about 115 road miles, Alexandria, VA at about 185 road miles and Raleigh, NC at about 190 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 105 to 260 miles, quote $400 to $600 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Virginia Beach pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
