- Before the driver picks the car up, you must make sure it is ready for transport, whether it is shipping locally or from one coast to the other. All cars and other motor vehicles undergo a physical inspection at the time of pick-up as well as when delivered. The car should have approximately a quarter tank of gas, should be washed and cleaned inside and there should be no personal items inside the car. The battery, tires, and brakes should be in good condition and the car should be in proper operating condition.
- Virginia requires that all motor vehicles pass a vehicle inspection. Motor vehicles must be in good driving condition with good brakes, tires, and lights. You will need to find an inspection station that is close to your location if possible it will need to ensure that the vehicle is inspected upon registration.
