Although insurance companies in Virginia won't insure a car with a current salvage title, you can get coverage if you have the vehicle repaired and inspected by a state-certified mechanic. If it's declared safe to drive, the DMV will issue the car a rebuilt salvage title.
A vehicle that is declared salvage cannot be operated on the highways of the Commonwealth and may not be registered as long as there is an active salvage certificate. A salvage certificate may be used for reassignment to a licensed rebuilder if the vehicle is to be rebuilt.

Once a vehicle has received a salvage title, it cannot be driven on the street until it has gone through a process to get a rebuilt title. This is true whether states have lax inspection laws (like Alabama and Florida) or tougher laws (like Massachusetts and Rhode Island).
