Florida to Virginia Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Virginia
Jacksonville to Norfolk is about 650 miles, up I-95 and across on US-58 or I-64. Orlando to Arlington is closer to 840, and Richmond is around 735. It's one to two days of driving.
This is one of the busiest Navy routes on the East Coast. Sailors and families move between Naval Station Mayport and NAS Jacksonville and the fleet in Norfolk, Oceana, and Little Creek all the time. There's also steady traffic between MacDill in Tampa and the Pentagon. We also ship for families moving to Northern Virginia for government and tech jobs, and students at UVA and Virginia Tech.

This is an I-95 route. Trucks head north through Georgia and the Carolinas into Richmond and on to Fredericksburg, Quantico, and Northern Virginia. Hampton Roads loads leave I-95 at Emporia for US-58 or continue to Richmond and take I-64 east to Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
Charlottesville is west of Richmond on I-64. Roanoke and Blacksburg are reached on I-81 through Charlotte and the mountains.

Timing
When to Ship Florida to Virginia
Navy schedules and coastal weather set the calendar.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for Norfolk, Oceana, Quantico, and Pentagon moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Hurricane Season
June through November can affect both coasts. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Spring Northbound Rush
March through May, northbound I-95 trucks fill up. Book a week or two ahead.
Winter
Usually smooth, with only occasional snow in Northern Virginia.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Virginia?
Here's what moves the price between Florida and Virginia.
Distance
Hampton Roads is about 650 miles from Jacksonville. Northern Virginia from South Florida is closer to 1,050.
A Busy Lane
I-95 is the busiest car-shipping corridor on the East Coast, which keeps prices competitive.
Season
Summer PCS moves and spring northbound trips raise demand. Fall is often the best value.
Delivery Area
Suburbs and bases are easy. Old Town Alexandria and tight Arlington streets usually need a meeting spot.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window helps during PCS season.

Get My Florida to Virginia QuoteGood to Know
Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Virginia-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Virginia
New residents have 30 days to title and register with the Virginia DMV. Virginia requires an annual safety inspection, plus emissions testing in Northern Virginia. Active-duty members may keep their home-state registration. Check dmv.virginia.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Navy
We ship for sailors and families moving from Mayport, NAS Jacksonville, Pensacola, and Kings Bay to Norfolk, Oceana, Little Creek, and Dam Neck.
Pentagon and NoVA Moves
We also ship for officers and staff moving from MacDill, Eglin, and Hurlburt to the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, Fort Myer, and Quantico.
Florida Pickups
Gated communities, HOA truck rules, condo garages, and tight streets in places like Miami Beach and Key West can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-75, I-4, or the Turnpike.
