West Virginia to Virginia Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From West Virginia to Virginia
Charleston to Richmond is about 315 miles, straight across on I-64. Blacksburg is around 175, Roanoke about 215, Charlottesville close to 245, Winchester roughly 300, and Fairfax about 360. Most cars arrive the day after pickup.
West Virginia to Virginia is one of our busiest short lanes: job relocations to Richmond and Northern Virginia, families moving across the line, and students at Virginia Tech, UVA, and VCU. Carriers run I-64 and I-81 every day, so a couple of days of notice usually works.

The Route
How Cars Get From West Virginia to Virginia
Richmond loads run I-64 east from Charleston across the Allegheny ridges into Virginia, through Covington and Staunton, over Afton Mountain to Charlottesville, and on to Richmond.
Blacksburg and Roanoke are reached on the Turnpike, I-77, and I-81. Winchester is north on I-81, and Fairfax is reached on I-81 and I-66.
Along the Way

- Charlottesville → Richmond~70 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship West Virginia to Virginia
Mountain weather and Virginia traffic set the timing.
Mountain Snow
From December through March, snow on I-64, I-77, and I-79 through the mountains can push a pickup back a day.
Fall Color
October weekends bring heavy traffic through the mountains and the New River Gorge. Weekday pickups are easier.
Afton Mountain Fog
Dense fog on I-64 over Afton Mountain can slow a truck for hours.
Northern Virginia Traffic
Rush hour on I-66 and the Beltway can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From West Virginia to Virginia?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Virginia.
Short Haul
Short trips still need a full carrier, so per-mile cost runs higher than a long haul.
Southwest vs. Northern Virginia
Blacksburg and Roanoke come first. Fairfax adds 145 to 185 miles.
Busy Corridor
I-64 and I-81 carry a lot of trucks, which keeps availability good.
Pickup Location
Beckley and Lewisburg are closer to Virginia than Charleston.
Open or Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed is worth it for a classic or a high-end car.
Lead Time
A couple of days of notice is often enough on this lane.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Your quote is your final price, good for 7 days, with nothing due until a carrier is assigned.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Virginia.
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.
Northern Virginia Suburbs
HOA rules in Loudoun and Fairfax counties often mean meeting at the neighborhood entrance.
Campus Deliveries
Blacksburg and Charlottesville fill up during move-in and on game days. Pick a weekday and a nearby lot.
Beckley and Lewisburg Pickups
Beckley, Lewisburg, and Princeton are reached on I-64, I-77, and the West Virginia Turnpike. Mountain roads and long gravel drives usually mean meeting in town.

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 pick up in Lewisburg?

Should I ship or drive from West Virginia to Virginia?
For most moves, driving is simpler. Shipping makes sense for a second car, a car that doesn't run, or a classic.

Yes. Request a quote with your Virginia pickup address and your West Virginia delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?

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.
