How many cars are there in Virginia?

I just moved to Virginia Beach from rural Montana, and I’m not used to seeing crowded roads! I was wondering, how many cars are in Virginia?

The Old Dominion State does have a lot of cars! According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, there are 8.4 million vehicles in
Virginia
—and all of those cars are driven by approximately 6.2 million licensed drivers!
Since you just moved, don’t forget that you’ll need to register your car in Virginia. The process is easy, but it’s important to move fast. The state requires new residents to register their car within 30 days of moving.
Here’s what you need to do:
  • Head to the DMV and complete an application for title and registration
  • Provide proof of Virginia residency
  • Turn over your title and registration card from your previous state
  • Choose whether you want to register your car for one or two years and pay the fee
While you’re at it, you’ll need to update your car insurance too! If you want cheap car insurance quotes fast, go to
