Car Shipping in Washington DC
Washington DC is one of the highest-volume auto transport markets on the East Coast, driven by constant government relocations, military transfers, and diplomatic moves.
Washington DC Auto Transport Overview
Washington DC generates enormous auto transport demand thanks to the federal government, military, and diplomatic communities that bring constant relocations. The Capital Beltway (I-495) encircles the city, connecting to I-95 north and south, I-66 west to the Shenandoah Valley, and I-270 northwest to Frederick. Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Fort McNair, and the Pentagon are all within or adjacent to DC. The high cost of parking and dense urban environment make shipping vehicles in and out a common necessity. State Wide Auto Transport (SWA) expertly handles DC metro pickups and deliveries.
