As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. There is no seasonal direction adjustment for this route and month.

Checked facts

The train is not the truck

Amtrak says the Auto Train carries an automobile, van, SUV, truck, or motorcycle between Lorton and Sanford, Florida. Standard vehicles must be at most 85 inches high and 192 inches long, with at least 4 inches of ground clearance. Check-in starts at 11:30 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m. for a standard vehicle. Vehicles are not accessible during the trip. Personal items left in the car are the customer's responsibility. This is a booked train, not an open-trailer quote, and this page does not print the fare. A Florida move that is not the Auto Train is still a highway move.

Tunnels and Northern Virginia

VDOT posts the I-64 westbound Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel at a maximum height of 13 feet 6 inches without a permit. Eastbound height and width above the posted limits need a permit, and wider vehicles must be escorted. The Downtown Tunnel, Midtown Tunnel, and Monitor-Merrimac are the other urban water crossings with their own limits on the same page. A car carrier that is over height does not belong in the westbound tube. Northern Virginia emissions apply only in the localities the DMV lists. A current out-of-state emissions certificate from the last 12 months can be used once. The rest of the state is not that rule.

Bases

Naval Station Norfolk is the large Navy gate. Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Oceana, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are the Hampton Roads cluster. Quantico, Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon, and Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall are the Northern Virginia cluster. Military OneSource says a contiguous-states vehicle move is largely the member's expense, with exceptions. Confirm the gate. A Norfolk delivery is not a Pentagon delivery. The Suffolk auction area is the auction row on the list.

When do you register?

The DMV says title the vehicle within 30 days of moving, then register it and get plates within 30 days. A safety inspection sticker is required before you operate the vehicle. Emissions apply only in the listed Northern Virginia localities. Steps are on the Virginia registration page.
