Car Shipping Virginia

In any transaction, competence is a bottom-line, basic expectation, but people want more than that.

Everyone likes to feel respected and appreciated, and at SGT Auto Transport we make that a priority.

We put customers at the heart of everything we do; that customer-first mindset is a basic tenet of how we do business at SGT.

We’ve invested in the latest logistics technology so that we can serve you better, we’ve recruited 25,000 carefully handpicked transport drivers around the country, and we’ve developed a number of different transport options for your vehicle and your circumstances.

We make every effort to make things as seamless and convenient as possible for the people we deal with, and it’s paid off for us and them both with over 70,000 customers served and over 100,000 vehicles transported.

Open car transport: affordable and convenient, this is the preferred choice for many customers. Open car transport means your car will be loaded onto a double decker transport trailer with several others for its trip, which leaves it exposed to the elements but this is by far the most budget-friendly option to get a car from point A to point B. 

Enclosed car transport: for a very rare, valuable or delicate car,it might be advisable to have an extra measure of security and protection. Enclosed car transport means your car will be loaded into a closed trailer and locked in securely, so it’s protected for its entire trip. Enclosed car transport does come at a premium cost. 

Express car shipping: while we do request at least two weeks of lead time to line up the details of your auto logistics job, we know that things do come up and that’s not always doable. That’s why we offer expedited delivery for last-minute and short-notice deliveries.

Guaranteed pickup: we want to make things as convenient for customers as we can, and guaranteed pickup is your assurance that a transport driver will be at your location at a preset time and date to pick up your vehicle and get it on its way. 

Please remove any external accessories like rooftop cargo carriers, bike racks or antennas. 

Please inspect your car for any fluid leaks: motor oil, coolant, transmission fluid, power steering, brake or differential fluid. 

It’s best if you can ship your car with a quarter tank of fuel or less; curb weight is a big part of shipping costs, fuel weighs about 6 lb per gallon and less fuel means less weight. 

If you’re shipping a vintage car or project car with any mechanical quirks, consider leaving the driver a “cheat sheet” to inform him. 

Don’t forget the driver will need a copy of the car’s ignition key. 

If your car can’t start, run, steer and stop under its own power, please let us know in advance. We can ship non-running vehicles, but it means extra equipment and extra time on the part of the transport driver. 

No-nonsense pricing with no added charges or hidden fees

Verified carrier insurance included on quotes, for your peace of mind

Wide network of transport drivers dispersed around the country

Virginia is notable for the quality of its higher education. If you choose to live in Virginia, your children will have discounted access to one of the best universities in the country. This is, of course - the University of Virginia.

Traffic in Virginia can be heavy, particularly in and around the bigger population centers. If you find yourself driving into DC from Virginia, it could mean sitting in traffic for hours. If you’re going to be commuting by car once you move to Virginia, planning is everything. It’s a good idea to get into the habit of checking for traffic updates in the morning before you leave for work.

Virginia has a thriving economy. It is close to the Pentagon and Washington DC. and there are 20+ Fortune 500 companies. This means Virginia offers plenty of ways to make a great living.

Due to the vast number of military bases (27+) and training operations, there can be a lot of noise pollution. This is particularly true in places such as Virginia Beach.

After moving to Virginia, you have 60 days to apply for a driver’s license. Part of the application process is to take a knowledge exam or road skills test. You also have to title and register your out-of-state vehicle within 30 days.
