Is it possible to lower the cost of moving my car?

When you do not plan ahead, selecting the right relocation services can be costly. You should always determine the features and the condition of your vehicle so that you can get the right type of service for it. There are special tools you will need for the most sensitive vehicles, and you should determine what services your vehicle will require before you begin the repair work. Almost all movers prefer open trailers to closed trailers if they want to be able to offer the same level of protection as closed trailers at a lower cost.
Does it take long for a car to be sent?
You can't drive 1,500 miles with the condition of your engine. During your journey, you may experience an engine failure or experience a decline in your welfare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Ohio to Virginia auto transport usually cost?
Shipping a vehicle from Ohio to Virginia typically runs $500–$900 for most sedans on an open carrier. Prices shift based on pickup city, carrier availability, vehicle size, and seasonal demand. Shorter routes from cities like Columbus or Cincinnati tend to price lower than rural pickups. Enclosed carriers cost more but offer added protection. For route planning and typical pricing ranges, see our car shipping cost guide.
How long does car shipping take from Ohio to Virginia?
Most Ohio to Virginia shipments deliver in 1–3 days, since the route runs roughly 300–500 miles depending on the cities involved. Timing can vary with weather, traffic patterns near major corridors like I-77 and I-64, and driver scheduling. Short-haul routes often load faster, while rural pickups may require additional routing time.
Is open or enclosed transport better for an Ohio to Virginia move?
Open carriers work well for most cars and offer the best pricing, usually $300–$600 less than enclosed. Enclosed transport is ideal for luxury, restored, or collector vehicles needing added protection from road debris or winter weather in the Ohio Valley. If your vehicle is high-value or recently detailed, consider our enclosed auto transport service.
Can I ship an inoperable car from Ohio to Virginia?
Yes. Carriers can move non-running vehicles using winches or specialized equipment. Expect a $100–$200 surcharge because loading takes longer and requires added labor. Drivers must be able to access the vehicle safely, so clearing the driveway or parking spot helps prevent delays.
What documents do I need for Ohio to Virginia auto transport?
Most carriers only require your keys, vehicle registration, and photo ID. The FMCSA recommends having paperwork ready to speed up inspection and handoff. Make sure personal items are removed before loading to comply with transport regulations and reduce weight.
Are there pickup or delivery restrictions on this route?
Some Ohio and Virginia neighborhoods have tight streets, gate codes, or truck restrictions that limit access for large carriers. When a truck cannot safely reach your exact address, the driver will coordinate a nearby meeting spot such as a wide street or retail parking lot. For smoother routing, many customers choose our door to door transport service.
