City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach is a resort city located on the eastern shores of the state of Virginia. Despite its size, it continues to be a major auto transport location and one that plenty of people like to move to every single year. Prices will tend to go up during the summer months, as there will undoubtedly be more people shipping to Virginia Beach during the summer and there typically aren't any additional trucks running routes there.

But that's okay, because during the fall and winter months, prices tend to drop a bit - not a lot, perhaps, but a little bit. Be careful during hurricane season, though; Virginia Beach may not get hit hard by hurricanes (like Florida or Louisiana), but it's seen its fair share through the years, and as such most auto shippers are pretty wary about shipping through the area during hurricane season. You can read more about the city by visiting our official auto shipping to Virginia Beach article and you can get some free shipping quotes by filling out our free online car transport quote request form at the top of every page on our website.

Multiple Vehicle Shipping Tips

If you're on our website and you're looking to fill out our free online quote request form, you've probably noticed a distinct lack of multiple vehicle information spaces. It's true - our form is designed so you can only fill out the year, make and model of one vehicle, which for people looking to ship multiple vehicles can be difficult to fill out correctly.

But here's what we recommend if you're shipping multiple vehicles and want to get great auto shipping quotes from our rotation of awesome auto shipping affiliate companies. Fill out the form for one of your vehicle - make it the largest, if you're shipping a mix of cars, trucks and SUV's - and, once you get some quotes from shipping companies, you can let them know via phone or e-mail what the makes and models of all the other vehicles you're shipping are and they can give you a full quote right over the phone.

This is the best way, because the more vehicles you're shipping, the more expensive and complex your shipment will be, and you're going to want to talk to someone who can handle all those vehicles at once. All our affiliate shipping companies can handle multiple vehicles, but since our form is limited we recommend filling it out the best you can and then going from there.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Seattle

Located in the Pacific Northwest on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, Seattle is a major port city and one of the primary ports for vehicle shipping up to Anchorage, as well as shipping from various ports in Alaska. It was built primarily as a transportation and manufacturing hub in the area during the period of U.S. westward expansion, and has grown into the largest city in the state of Washington and is still one of the largest transportation hubs north of San Francisco.

Shipping a car to or from Seattle can be easy or difficult, depending on where you're shipping to. Shipping down to California, or other states in the southwest, is pretty easy because of the interstate highways and how they run; shipping east from Idaho or Montana may be more complicated, mainly because of the amount of snow those states get during the winter months and the relative lack of major east-west interstates running through the area.
