Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.

Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!

Virginia gives new residents 30 days to register a car. Here the deadline does double duty, because the county or city where the car is kept taxes it every year, and in Fairfax County how that first bill starts turns on the same 30 days. Going the other way, the long runs Virginians make most are to Florida, California and Texas.
Virginia’s counties and cities tax cars every year as personal property, each at its own rate, separately from anything the DMV charges. The bill comes from wherever the car is kept. In Fairfax County, for example, that means $4.57 for every $100 of the car’s assessed value, which the county takes from a used-car pricing guide rather than from what you paid. It bills only for the part of the year the car was in the county, and a personal car may also qualify for the state’s car tax relief, which brings that figure down.
The DMV’s 30 days are worth keeping to in Fairfax, because the county files the car’s first tax return itself for anyone who registers inside them. Miss them and the return is yours. It’s due within 60 days of moving in. A car still on its old plates after the 30 days also owes Fairfax’s $100 out-of-state plate tax, with a $250 penalty that comes back every year the plates stay.
If the move makes you a Virginia resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
Checked September 2026 against Virginia DMV, Virginia State Police. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

Yes, within 30 days of moving to Virginia. Get the Virginia safety inspection done first, plus an emissions inspection in Northern Virginia, then title and register the car at a DMV customer service center.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
Yes. Every toll, bridge and congestion charge the truck pays on the way is already in your quote, and nothing is added for them after you book.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
You can leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in one piece of luggage, placed in the trunk or cargo area. Some carriers will accept additional weight for an added fee; we can arrange this for you after booking.
