Louisiana to Georgia Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Louisiana to Georgia
New Orleans to Atlanta is about 470 miles, up I-59 to Birmingham and east on I-20. New Orleans to Columbus is around 390, Monroe to Atlanta about 520, Baton Rouge to Atlanta close to 535, Lafayette to Atlanta roughly 600, Shreveport to Atlanta and New Orleans to Augusta about 620, and New Orleans to Savannah around 640. Most cars arrive 1 to 3 days after pickup.
Louisiana to Georgia moves are usually job relocations to metro Atlanta, students at Georgia Tech and UGA, and families heading to Savannah. I-20 and I-59 carry trucks constantly. Atlanta traffic and suburban HOA rules take the most planning at delivery.

The Route
How Cars Get From Louisiana to Georgia
Atlanta loads take I-59 northeast from New Orleans to Birmingham, then I-20 east into the metro. Shreveport and Monroe pickups ride I-20 the whole way through Jackson and Birmingham. Augusta is farther east on I-20.
Columbus and South Georgia are reached through Montgomery on I-85 and US-280. Savannah loads often run I-10 to Tallahassee and cut across South Georgia on I-75 and I-16, or go through Atlanta and down I-16 from Macon.

Timing
When to Ship Louisiana to Georgia
Atlanta traffic and Gulf weather shape the calendar.
Atlanta Traffic
I-75, I-85, and I-285 back up badly at rush hour. Drivers time metro deliveries around it.
Hurricane Season
From June through November, a Gulf storm can delay a Louisiana pickup a day or more. If one is in the forecast, we'll reschedule around it.
Game Days
Athens and Atlanta near Georgia Tech fill up on home football Saturdays.
Spring and Fall
Usually the smoothest windows.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Louisiana to Georgia?
Here's what moves the price on a Louisiana to Georgia shipment.
Atlanta vs. the Coast
Atlanta comes straight across I-20. Savannah adds about 170 miles.
Suburban HOAs
Many Gwinnett, Cobb, and North Fulton neighborhoods restrict big trucks.
South vs. North Louisiana
New Orleans is closest. Shreveport and Lafayette add 130 to 150 miles.

Pickups and SUVs take more trailer space than a sedan.

Open is standard. Enclosed is available for classics.

I-20 and I-59 carry a lot of trucks, which keeps availability good.

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 Suburbs
Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Peachtree City are full of HOA neighborhoods with truck rules. The driver will meet you at the entrance.
Historic Savannah
Downtown squares and narrow streets can't fit a carrier. Plan to meet at a nearby lot.
Baton Rouge Area Pickups
Neighborhoods near LSU and downtown have tight streets, and game-day traffic can shut down much of the city on fall Saturdays. Suburbs in Prairieville, Denham Springs, and Zachary are usually easy, though some HOAs restrict big trucks. The driver will meet you near I-10 or I-12 if needed.

How long does it take to ship a car from Louisiana to Georgia?
Usually 1 to 2 days to Atlanta and 2 to 3 days to Savannah.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Louisiana to Georgia?
It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Does Georgia require an emissions test?
In metro Atlanta's 13 counties, yes, for most vehicles. The rest of the state has no inspection.
Can you deliver to a student at Georgia Tech or UGA?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Should I ship or drive from Louisiana to Georgia?
It's a long day of driving. If you're flying or moving two cars, shipping usually makes sense.
Can you ship a car from Georgia back to Louisiana?
Yes. Request a quote with your Georgia pickup address and your Louisiana 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.
