Auto Shipping to Metro Virginia Beach
The Virginia Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area is a part of the Hampton Roads, Virginia Combined Statistical Area and the entire region is often referred to simply as “Hampton Roads” or the “Hampton Roads area” depending on who you speak to. Regardless, Virginia Beach is the largest city in the region, making it the de facto anchor city of the Hampton Roads area and one of the most popular places in Virginia to ship a vehicle. Virginia Beach itself is home to over 438,000 residents, while the sprawling metro area is home to over 1.7 million total residents and spans a number of major cities in the region as well as two states. This usually makes finding auto shipping to metro Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area much easier in the long run.
Auto transporters like running routes into and out of major cities and metropolitan areas, and providing auto shipping to metro Virginia Beach is usually fairly easy as a result. They want to stick to routes that take them through densely populated areas, and as the largest city in Virginia, its not surprising that Virginia Beach is such a popular shipping location. Some carriers don’t like going so far east, but they’ll definitely do it if the price is right. What’s really nice is that auto shipping to metro Virginia Beach covers a lot of major cities in eastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina as well; this means that carriers can easily get not just into metro Virginia Beach, but many other parts of the eastern seaboard as well.
It would really help if there were more major interstates running through the region, but I-64 connects Virginia Beach and its surrounding metropolitan area with Richmond, to the northwest, and – perhaps more importantly – Interstate 95. I-95 is the main north-south interstate through the eastern U.S., and auto transporters can get to and from most every major city in the coastal states by sticking to it. This makes auto shipping to metro Virginia Beach easier because there are usually plenty of carriers, but a bit more expensive at the same time since they have to go out of their way and off I-95 to get there. You can and should talk to an agent to learn more about auto shipping to metro Virginia Beach and what to expect when you ship a vehicle to or from it.
