Virginia to Oregon Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Virginia to Oregon is a coast-to-coast trip of nearly 3,000 miles. Winter in Wyoming, the Blue Mountains and the Columbia River Gorge causes most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Wind and Snow in Wyoming
I-80 across southern Wyoming is high, open and known for strong winds. In winter, snow and wind can close long stretches of it, and carriers have to wait for it to reopen.
Winter on the Blue Mountains
I-84 climbs over the Blue Mountains in eastern Oregon between La Grande and Pendleton. Snow and ice can close the Deadman Pass stretch for hours in winter, and carriers have to wait for it to reopen.
Ice in the Columbia River Gorge
East winds through the Columbia River Gorge can bring freezing rain and ice to I-84 in winter. When it gets bad, the state closes the interstate between Portland and The Dalles.
Tip: Book Two Weeks Ahead
This is a long route with fewer car carriers than the busiest lanes. Booking two weeks or more ahead gives you the best choice of trucks and a firmer pickup date.
Tip: Plan for a VIN Inspection in Oregon
Cars with an out-of-state title need a $9 VIN inspection, which the DMV can do at your title appointment. If you live in the Portland or Medford area, most cars also need to pass a DEQ emissions test before you register.
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.

If you live in the Portland or Medford area, get a DEQ emissions test first unless your car is new enough to be exempt. Oregon DMV: Title and Registration
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.
