Georgia to Maine Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Georgia to Maine
Atlanta to Portland, Maine, is about 1,210 miles, up I-85 and I-95 through the Northeast. Bangor is closer to 1,340, and St. Simons Island to Kennebunkport is around 1,200. It's three days of driving.
There's a long-standing summer migration between Georgia's coast and Maine's. Families from Sea Island, St. Simons, and Savannah spend July and August in Kennebunkport, Camden, and Mount Desert Island, and some Mainers spend the winter in the Golden Isles. We also ship for Atlanta families relocating to Portland and students at Bowdoin, Colby, and Bates.

The Route
How Cars Get From Georgia to Maine
Atlanta loads ride I-85 to Petersburg and I-95 up the East Coast. Most trucks bypass New York City on I-287 and take I-84 and the Mass Pike around Boston, then rejoin I-95 into Kittery, Portland, and Bangor.
Brunswick, Camden, and the Midcoast are reached on US-1 from Portland. Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island are past Bangor and take extra planning in summer.
Along the Way
- Atlanta → Richmond~530 mi
- Richmond → Hartford~460 mi
- Hartford → Portsmouth, NH~140 mi
- Portsmouth → Portland, ME~55 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Georgia to Maine
Maine's short summer drives this route.
Late Spring Move North
Late May and June are busy with Georgians heading to Maine summer homes. Book two or three weeks ahead.
Summer Crowds
July and August pack the coast and slow traffic on US-1. Weekday deliveries go smoother.
Fall Return
September and October bring the trip back to Georgia. Book both legs together if you can.
Maine Winter
Snow can slow the last leg from December through March.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Georgia to Maine?
Here's what moves the price between Georgia and Maine.
Distance
Southern Maine is about 1,150 to 1,250 miles from Georgia. Downeast Maine is closer to 1,400.
Seasonal Demand
Northbound trucks in late spring and southbound trucks in fall cost more. Off-season moves are often cheaper.
Delivery Area
Portland and the I-95 towns are easy. Islands, peninsulas, and long private roads usually need a meeting spot.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed is popular for classics heading to a summer home.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window helps during the summer rush.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Maine-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Maine
New residents have 30 days to register, starting at the town or city office and then the BMV. Maine requires an annual safety inspection, and Cumberland County adds an emissions check. Check maine.gov/sos/bmv for current requirements.
Summer Round Trips
Heading north for the summer and back to Georgia in the fall? Book both legs together and we'll plan around your dates.
Coastal Deliveries
Long gravel drives and narrow peninsula roads can be tough for a big carrier. The driver may meet you in town.
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.

Can you deliver to a summer cottage on the coast?
Often, yes. If the road is too narrow or the drive is gravel, the driver will meet you at a nearby lot.
Does Maine require a vehicle inspection?
Yes. Maine requires an annual safety inspection, and Cumberland County adds an emissions check.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Georgia to Maine?
Driving 1,200 miles or more means three days of I-95 traffic, hotel nights, gas, and tolls. For most people, shipping costs about the same or less.
Can you ship a car from Maine back to Georgia?
Yes. Request a quote with your Maine pickup address and your Georgia delivery address. It's door-to-door either way.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle 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 rest to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
