Kentucky to Georgia Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Kentucky to Georgia
Lexington to Atlanta is about 380 miles straight down I-75, and Louisville is around 420. Savannah is closer to 630. Most cars reach metro Atlanta the day after pickup.
Atlanta is the big-city move for a lot of Kentuckians, and the suburbs are full of people who made the same trip: Alpharetta, Marietta, Peachtree City. We also ship for families heading to Savannah and the coast, students at Georgia Tech and UGA, and Georgians moving north. The drive is easy. Atlanta traffic is the hard part, so good timing on delivery day makes a real difference.

The Route
How Cars Get From Kentucky to Georgia
Lexington and Northern Kentucky loads ride I-75 south through Knoxville and Chattanooga straight into Atlanta. Louisville pickups take I-65 to Nashville and I-24 to Chattanooga.
Savannah is reached on I-75 and I-16 through Macon. Atlanta traffic is heavy, so drivers plan around rush hour.

Timing
When to Ship Kentucky to Georgia
Atlanta traffic matters more than the weather on this route.
Summer Relocations
June through August is peak moving season for metro Atlanta. Book a week or two ahead.
Plateau Snow
I-75 over the Cumberland Plateau and Jellico Mountain sees occasional winter snow. It rarely costs more than a day.
Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm can delay deliveries to Savannah and the Golden Isles.
Spring and Fall
The easiest times to ship, with steady truck traffic and mild weather.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Kentucky to Georgia?
A short route with big-city deliveries. Here's what affects price.
Inside vs. Outside the Perimeter
Intown deliveries take more time than suburban ones because of traffic and tight streets.
Coastal Deliveries
Savannah and the islands are farther and see fewer trucks than Atlanta.
Short-Haul Pricing
A 400-mile trip costs more per mile than a cross-country one, since loading time is the same.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than a sedan.
Open vs. Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed is there if you want a nicer car fully covered.
Timing
Delivering in late morning or midday, between rush hours, is easier to schedule in Atlanta.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Georgia.
Registering in Georgia
New residents have 30 days to title and register at the county tag office and pay a one-time title ad valorem tax. Metro Atlanta counties require emissions testing for many vehicles. Check dor.georgia.gov for current requirements.
Atlanta Deliveries
Midtown apartments and older intown streets are hard for a car hauler to reach. Your driver will call ahead and meet you at a nearby lot, and a midday delivery avoids the worst traffic.
Suburban HOAs
Many subdivisions in Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Peachtree City don't allow big trucks. The driver will meet you at the neighborhood entrance.
Lexington and Central Kentucky Pickups
Older Lexington neighborhoods near campus and downtown have tight streets, and long private farm lanes in the Bluegrass usually can't take a full-size carrier. Home game days near campus jam traffic, too. The driver will typically meet you at a lot just off I-75, I-64, or New Circle Road.

FAQ
Kentucky to Georgia Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Kentucky to Georgia?
Usually 1 to 2 days after pickup. Metro Atlanta is often next-day.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Kentucky to Georgia?
It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed transport, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Does Georgia require an emissions test?
In 13 metro Atlanta counties, yes. You'll also pay a one-time title ad valorem tax when you register.
Can you deliver to an apartment in Midtown Atlanta?
Often to a nearby spot rather than the building itself. Most Midtown streets are too tight for a carrier.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Kentucky to Georgia?
It's a one-day drive, so shipping makes the most sense when you're moving two cars or flying down.
Can you ship a car from Georgia back to Kentucky?
Yes. Request a quote with your Georgia pickup address and your Kentucky delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
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.
