Fog and winter snow on I-77 over Fancy Gap Mountain can slow a truck for hours.

Southern vs. Northern WV
Beckley and Charleston come first. Morgantown and Martinsburg add 155 to 170 miles.

Narrow hollow roads and steep drives often mean meeting in town.

FAQ
South Carolina to West Virginia Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from South Carolina to West Virginia?
Usually 1 to 2 days after pickup.
How much does it cost to ship a car from South Carolina to West Virginia?
It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Can you deliver to a student at WVU or Marshall?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Can you deliver to a house up a hollow?
Usually to the nearest paved road or a lot in town, since narrow hollow roads don't fit a carrier.
Should I ship or drive from South Carolina to West Virginia?
For most moves, driving is simpler. Shipping makes sense for a classic car, several cars, or a car that doesn't run.
Can you ship a car from West Virginia back to South Carolina?
Yes. Request a quote with your West Virginia pickup address and your South Carolina delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
