Car Shipping to and from Georgia
Atlanta anchors the Southeast's transport network, with heavy auction and dealer volume moving in every direction.
Georgia sits where I-75, I-85 and I-20 meet, and Atlanta's auction houses move a large share of the region's wholesale vehicles. Carriers are constantly repositioning through the state.
That density means good rates on Georgia lanes, especially north-south along the East Coast and west toward Texas.

Auction and dealer transport in Georgia
If you are buying at an Atlanta-area auction, give us the lot and gate information and the release deadline. Auctions charge storage after a set number of days, so scheduling pickup early is worth real money.
For multi-unit dealer moves we consolidate several vehicles onto one trailer, which lowers the price per unit compared with booking them separately.

Common questions
How much does car transportation cost?
Cost depends on distance, vehicle size and weight, whether the car runs, open versus enclosed transport, the season, and how busy the route is. A short regional move on an open trailer is the cheapest scenario; a coast-to-coast enclosed move of an inoperable vehicle is the most expensive. Send us both ZIP codes and the vehicle details for an exact quote.
How long does it take to ship a car?
Carriers average roughly 400 to 500 miles per day once loaded. Regional moves usually take one to three days, cross-country moves seven to ten days. Pickup is typically scheduled within a few days of booking, faster on busy lanes.
Is my vehicle insured while it is being transported?
Yes. Every carrier we assign must have active cargo and liability insurance and valid FMCSA operating authority, and we verify both before your vehicle is booked. Personal items left inside the vehicle are not covered.
What is the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open transport uses a multi-car hauler with no walls or roof. It is the cheapest and most widely available option and is how new cars are delivered to dealerships. Enclosed transport uses a fully covered trailer that protects the vehicle from weather and road debris; it costs more and is recommended for luxury, classic, exotic and low-clearance vehicles.
