Atlanta to Savannah Car Shipping & Auto Transport

The main carrier path between Atlanta and Savannah follows I-75 and I-16. Trucks on this lane pick up across the origin metro areas, consolidate loads, and deliver city by city on the way in.

Typical city pairs on this route:

If your address is on a narrow street or in a gated community, the driver may suggest meeting at a nearby parking lot where a full-size car carrier can stop safely.

Wash your car a day or two before pickup so you and the driver can see its condition clearly, and take dated photos of every side.

• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel.
• Remove your Peach Pass transponder or store it in a shielded bag so it doesn't record tolls on the way.
• Take out valuables and loose items; most carriers allow only a small amount below the window line.
• Disable alarms and fold in mirrors.
• Have keys, registration and a photo ID ready.

Because this is an in-state move, you don't need to re-register in a new state — just update your address with the Georgia motor vehicle agency as required.

Georgia's car shipping market revolves around Atlanta, where I-75, I-85 and I-20 meet. Savannah's port, Augusta, Macon and Columbus add steady traffic, and military installations such as Fort Stewart, Fort Benning and Robins AFB generate PCS moves. Carrier availability is strong across most of the state.

Open transport is the standard choice on the Atlanta to Savannah route and works well for daily drivers, leased cars and most SUVs and pickups. Choose enclosed car transport for classic, exotic or luxury cars, or if you want to keep road grime and debris off a freshly detailed car.

• Pick a delivery spot in Atlanta, Savannah or Augusta where a full-size car carrier can stop safely — a wide street or parking lot works best.
• Keep your phone on; the driver usually calls a day ahead and again a few hours before arrival.
• Inspect the car in good light before signing the Bill of Lading, and note any new issues.
• Have a backup contact who can receive the car if your plans change.
