Colorado to Virginia Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Colorado to Virginia is a four- to seven-day trip east on I-70 and I-64. Work zones in Missouri, the St. Louis river crossing, fog on Afton Mountain and the Hampton Roads tunnels cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Work Zones on I-70 in Missouri
Missouri is adding a third lane to much of I-70 across the state. The work zones can slow trucks between Kansas City and St. Louis, especially around Columbia.
Crossing the Mississippi at St. Louis
Routes east on I-70 and I-64 cross the Mississippi River at St. Louis, where several interstates meet near downtown. Rush-hour backups are common, so drivers try to cross at midday or in the evening.
Fog on Afton Mountain
I-64 crosses the Blue Ridge at Afton Mountain near Waynesboro, where thick fog is common, especially in the morning. Virginia sometimes slows traffic there until it lifts.
Tunnels Into Hampton Roads
Trucks reach Norfolk and Virginia Beach through the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel or the Monitor-Merrimac Bridge-Tunnel. The HRBT is in the middle of a major expansion, and backups at the tunnels are common.
Tip: Title and Register Within 30 Days
Virginia gives new residents 30 days to title and register their cars at a DMV customer service center, and you need insurance first. The car must pass a Virginia safety inspection, and cars kept in Northern Virginia need an emissions test before registering.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.

Yes. Carriers with a winch can load and unload a car that doesn't run, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes. Expect to pay about $150 to $300 more than for a running car, and tell us the car doesn't run when you request quotes so you are matched with the right carrier. Shipping an Inoperable Vehicle explains how it works.
