Georgia to Alabama Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Georgia to Alabama
Atlanta to Birmingham is only about 147 miles on I-20, and Montgomery is around 160 down I-85. Huntsville is closer to 220, and Savannah to Mobile is about 480. Most of these moves are a few hours of driving.
Georgia and Alabama share a border, a car industry, and a lot of commuters. Workers move between Kia's plant in West Point and Hyundai's plant in Montgomery, and engineers trade Atlanta for Huntsville's aerospace and defense jobs at Redstone Arsenal. We also ship for Auburn and Alabama students, families moving between Atlanta and Birmingham, and airmen heading to Maxwell AFB.

The Route
How Cars Get From Georgia to Alabama
Birmingham and Tuscaloosa are straight west of Atlanta on I-20. Montgomery and Auburn are down I-85 past LaGrange and West Point. Huntsville loads usually take I-75 to Chattanooga and come down through northeast Alabama, or run I-20 to Birmingham and up I-65.
Coastal Georgia loads head across South Georgia on US-84 or up I-16 to Macon, then over to Columbus and Montgomery. Mobile and Baldwin County are a long day down I-65.
Along the Way
- Atlanta → Anniston~90 mi
- Anniston → Birmingham~60 mi
- Birmingham → Huntsville~100 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Georgia to Alabama
On a route this short, timing is mostly about local events and weather.
Fall Football Saturdays
Game days in Tuscaloosa and Auburn pack the roads and hotels. Plan deliveries for a weekday.
Spring Storms
March through May brings severe storms and tornado warnings to Alabama and west Georgia. Drivers wait them out.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is busiest for Maxwell and Redstone moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Winter
Usually the easiest time to ship. The rare ice storm can stop traffic for a day.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Georgia to Alabama?
Short routes are priced a little differently than long ones.
Distance
Most of this route is 150 to 250 miles. Coastal Georgia to Mobile is closer to 500.
Short-Haul Pricing
Short trips cost more per mile than cross-country ones, since loading and unloading take the same time either way.
A Busy Corridor
Trucks run between Atlanta and Birmingham every day, which keeps prices competitive.
Delivery Area
Cities and suburbs are easy. Lake Martin and rural roads take more planning.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps sun and road debris off a nicer car.

No teaser price that changes later. The quote is your final price, and $0 is due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Alabama-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Alabama
New residents have 30 days to title and register at the county license office. Alabama doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check revenue.alabama.gov for current requirements.
Auto Plant Moves
Transferring between Kia in West Point, Hyundai in Montgomery, or Mercedes near Tuscaloosa? We can ship your personal car on your schedule.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, soldiers, and families moving from Robins, Moody, Fort Stewart, and Fort Gordon to Maxwell AFB and Redstone Arsenal.
Georgia Pickups
Busy metro Atlanta apartment complexes, gated subdivisions with HOA truck rules, and the narrow historic streets of downtown Savannah can keep a big carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-285, I-75, I-85, I-20, I-16, or I-95.

Why ship a car such a short distance?

No. Alabama has no safety or emissions inspection. You'll title and register at your county license office.
Can you ship a car to Auburn or Tuscaloosa for a college student?
Yes. Give us the dorm or apartment address and the move-in date, and we'll plan around it.

Yes. Request a quote with your Alabama pickup address and your Georgia delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.

Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
