FAQ
Car shipping questions about Hampton.
Do you offer door-to-door car shipping in Hampton, VA?
Yes. Most addresses in Hampton can be served door to door. If HOA rules or narrow streets get in the way, we'll set a nearby meeting point instead.
How far ahead should I book car shipping in Hampton?
Booking a week or two ahead usually gives you the most options. In Hampton, summer is peak PCS season around JB Langley-Eustis.
Can you ship a car from Hampton to Norfolk, VA?
Yes. Hampton to Norfolk is about 9 miles in a straight line, and the road distance is longer. We'll quote the route both ways and give you a timing window before you book.
Can a carrier pick up at Joint Base Langley-Eustis?
Usually not on the installation itself. Civilian carriers generally can't get on base, so pickup is set at an address or public lot off-base in Hampton. Have your orders handy if your dates depend on a report date.
What happens if a hurricane is forecast near my pickup date?
Carriers won't drive into an active storm. If a hurricane threatens the area, we'll move your pickup or delivery to the first safe day and keep you posted.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport in Hampton?
Open transport works well for most everyday cars and is the more affordable option. Enclosed transport protects luxury, classic or freshly detailed vehicles from salt air near the coast along the way.
