Georgia to Rhode Island Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Georgia to Rhode Island
Atlanta to Providence is about 1,050 miles, up I-85 and I-95. Savannah is closer to 1,000, and St. Marys to Newport is around 1,100. It's two to three days of driving.
Savannah and Providence are two of the country's best-known art school towns, so students, faculty, and designers move between SCAD and RISD. There's a Navy link, too: officers from Kings Bay head to the Naval War College and Naval Station Newport. We also ship for students at Brown, families with summer places in Newport and Narragansett, and Atlanta professionals relocating to Providence.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Georgia to Rhode Island
Atlanta loads take I-85 to Petersburg and I-95 up through the Mid-Atlantic and the New Jersey Turnpike. Most trucks cross the Tappan Zee on I-287 to skip New York City and rejoin I-95 through Connecticut into Westerly, Warwick, and Providence.
Savannah and St. Marys loads ride I-95 the whole way. Newport is reached over the Pell Bridge, and narrow streets there and on College Hill usually need a meeting spot.
Along the Way
- Savannah → Richmond~460 mi
- Richmond → Newark, NJ~330 mi
- Newark → New Haven~95 mi
- New Haven → Providence~105 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.

Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Georgia to Rhode Island?
Here's what moves the price between Georgia and Rhode Island.
Distance
Rhode Island is about 1,000 to 1,100 miles from Georgia.
A Busy Lane
I-95 is the busiest car-shipping corridor on the East Coast, which keeps prices competitive.
Delivery Area
Suburbs and the base are easy. Newport and College Hill's older streets often need a meeting spot.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps road salt off a nicer car in winter.
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 around move-in week.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Rhode Island-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Rhode Island
New residents have 30 days to register with the RI DMV. Rhode Island requires a safety and emissions inspection every two years. Check dmv.ri.gov for current requirements.
Art School Moves
Heading from SCAD to RISD, or the other way? Give us your move-in date and we'll plan around it.
Moving With the Navy
We ship for officers and families moving from Kings Bay and other Georgia bases to Naval Station Newport.
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.
