Types of Vehicle Transportation Services we provide in Virginia
As your Virginia car shipping company, we know that no two customers will present the same situation; that’s why we’ve developed a few different options for your vehicle and your needs:
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.

Prepare Your Vehicle for a cross-country Auto Transportation to or from Virginia
When it’s time to get your vehicle ready to go on its journey, here are some suggestions:
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.
