Virginia to New York Auto Transport

Shipping a Car From Virginia to New York

Richmond to Manhattan is about 355 miles, straight up I-95. Brooklyn is around 365, White Plains about 380, Albany close to 505, and Buffalo roughly 560. Most cars arrive 1 to 2 days after pickup.

Virginia to New York is a busy lane: job relocations between Northern Virginia and New York City, students at Columbia, NYU, Cornell, and the SUNY schools, and families moving closer to relatives. Carriers run I-95 every day, so a few days of notice usually works.

Timing

When to Ship Virginia to New York

I-95 traffic and city congestion set the timing.

Richmond and I-95 Traffic

Traffic on I-95 through Richmond and up toward the Beltway can add hours to a pickup. Drivers time their run around it.

Northern Virginia Traffic

Rush hour on I-66, I-495, and I-95 in Northern Virginia can add hours to a pickup. Drivers time their run around it.

City Traffic

Bridge and tunnel traffic into Manhattan and Brooklyn can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.

Upstate Winter

Lake-effect snow on I-90 around Buffalo and Syracuse can slow deliveries a day.

Pricing

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Virginia to New York?

Here's what affects price on a Virginia to New York shipment.

City vs. Upstate

Manhattan and Brooklyn come first. Albany and Buffalo add 150 to 205 miles.

City Delivery

Most Manhattan and Brooklyn blocks don't fit a carrier, so the driver may meet you at a garage or wide avenue.

Tolls

Turnpike, bridge, and tunnel tolls are built into your quote.

Pickup Location

Northern Virginia is about 100 miles closer than Richmond.

Open or Enclosed

Enclosed keeps a nicer car protected through city traffic.

A few days of notice is usually enough on this lane.

Your Quote Is Your Final Price

What we quote is what you pay, with nothing due until a carrier is assigned.

Good to Know

Before You Ship & After You Arrive

What to know before your car heads to New York.

Registering in New York

New residents have 30 days to register with the NY DMV. New York requires an annual safety inspection, and most vehicles also need an emissions check. Check dmv.ny.gov for current requirements.

City Streets

Manhattan and Brooklyn blocks rarely have room for a carrier to stop. Plan to meet at a garage, a wide avenue, or a lot near the highway.

Parking Garages

If you've rented a spot, tell us the garage. The driver can usually meet you out front.

Northern Virginia Pickups

Fairfax, Reston, Herndon, Ashburn, and Leesburg sit along I-66, I-495, and the Dulles Toll Road. Townhome communities often restrict car haulers, so the driver may meet you at the entrance or a nearby lot.

How It Works

Simple, transparent, and nothing due until a carrier is on the way.

  1. 1

    Request Your Quote

    Give us your Virginia pickup address, your New York delivery address, the vehicle, and your dates. You get a final price, good for 7 days.

  2. 2

    Book With $0 Down

    Nothing is due when you book. We match your vehicle with a vetted carrier that has room on a truck headed to New York.

  3. 3

    Carrier Dispatched

    Look your car over with the driver in New York, sign off, and pay any remaining balance directly to the driver by cash or check.

FAQ

Virginia to New York Car Shipping FAQs

How long does it take to ship a car from Virginia to New York?

Usually 1 to 2 days after pickup.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Virginia to New York?

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 Manhattan apartment?

Usually to a nearby garage or wide avenue, since most blocks don't fit a carrier.

Can you deliver to a student at Columbia or NYU?

Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid move-in weekend when possible.

Should I ship or drive from Virginia to New York?

For most moves, driving is simpler. Shipping makes sense for a second car, a car that doesn't run, or skipping city traffic.

Can you ship a car from New York back to Virginia?

Yes. Request a quote with your New York pickup address and your Virginia delivery address. It's door-to-door either way.

Is my car insured during transport?

Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle 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 rest to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
