Shipping a Car From Mississippi to Georgia
Jackson to Atlanta is about 390 miles, a long day on I-20. Southaven to Atlanta is around 385, Jackson to Alpharetta about 415, Athens close to 460, Macon roughly 470, Savannah about 635, and St. Simons Island around 685. Most cars arrive 1 to 3 days after pickup.
Mississippi to Georgia moves are usually job relocations to Atlanta, students at UGA and Georgia Tech, and families moving closer to relatives. I-20 carries trucks constantly between Jackson and Atlanta. Atlanta traffic is the main thing to plan around.

The Route
How Cars Get From Mississippi to Georgia
Atlanta is straight east on I-20 from Jackson through Birmingham. DeSoto County loads take I-22 from Memphis to Birmingham and join I-20 there.
Macon is south of Atlanta on I-75, Savannah is at the end of I-16, and the Golden Isles are down I-95. Atlanta traffic is the main thing to plan around.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to Georgia
Atlanta traffic and coastal storms set the timing.
Mississippi Summer
Summer heat and afternoon storms rarely stop a carrier, but plan to be on hand at pickup so your car isn't sitting in the sun.
Atlanta Traffic
I-285 and the Downtown Connector back up badly. Drivers time deliveries around rush hour.
Coastal Storms
From June through November, a storm can delay Savannah and Golden Isles deliveries.
Spring and Fall
Usually the smoothest windows.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Mississippi to Georgia?
Here's what affects price on a Mississippi to Georgia shipment.

Jackson and Southaven are about the same distance from Atlanta.
Suburban HOAs
Many Atlanta suburbs restrict big trucks.

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.
Historic Savannah
The squares and narrow streets of the Historic District can't fit a carrier. Plan to meet at a lot nearby.
Atlanta Suburbs
Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Peachtree City neighborhoods often have HOA truck rules. The driver will meet you at the entrance.
Jackson Metro Pickups
Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, Brandon, and Flowood sit right on I-55 and I-20, which makes pickups straightforward. Older Jackson neighborhoods like Fondren and Belhaven have narrow, tree-lined streets, and many suburban subdivisions restrict big trucks. If your street won't work, the driver will meet you at a lot near I-55 or I-20.

How long does it take to ship a car from Mississippi to Georgia?
Usually 1 to 2 days to Atlanta and 2 to 3 days to the coast.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Mississippi 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 counties, yes, for most vehicles. The rest of the state doesn't test.
Can you deliver to a student at UGA or Georgia Tech?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Should I ship or drive from Mississippi 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 Mississippi?
Yes. Request a quote with your Georgia pickup address and your Mississippi 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.
