Route Overview
Virginia to Florida is a busy mid-Atlantic to Southeast auto transport corridor that benefits from the direct I-95 connection running through the Carolinas into Florida. Whether you are shipping from the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC, Richmond, Virginia Beach, or Norfolk, carriers service this route frequently with competitive pricing. This corridor is popular with military families transferring between the numerous Virginia bases and Florida installations, snowbirds heading south from the DC metro area, retirees, and college students.
