Texas to Georgia Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Texas to Georgia
Houston to Atlanta is about 805 miles, across the Deep South on I-10, I-59, and I-20. Dallas to Atlanta is around 785, Alpharetta about 825, Athens close to 875, and Savannah roughly 1,010. Most cars arrive 2 to 3 days after pickup.
Texas to Georgia moves are usually job relocations between the big Texas metros and Atlanta, families moving closer to relatives, and students at Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Emory. Carriers run I-20 every day, so a few days of notice usually works.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Texas to Georgia
Atlanta traffic and Gulf weather set the timing.
Gulf Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm on the Texas coast can push a Houston or Freeport pickup back a few days.
Dallas and Houston Traffic
Rush hour on I-35E, I-45, I-610, and the Beltway can add hours to a pickup. Drivers time their run around it.
Atlanta Traffic
Rush hour on I-20, I-75, I-85, and I-285 can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.
Game Days
Athens is packed on Georgia home Saturdays. Pick a weekday for delivery.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Texas to Georgia?
Here's what affects price on a Texas to Georgia shipment.
Atlanta vs. the Coast
Atlanta and Alpharetta come first. Savannah adds about 205 to 250 miles.
Pickup Location
Dallas and Houston are about the same distance from Atlanta.
Suburban HOAs
Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Peachtree City neighborhoods often have truck rules.
Busy Corridor
I-20 carries a lot of trucks east, which keeps availability good.
Open or Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed is worth it for a classic or a high-end car.
Lead Time
A few days to a week of notice usually works on this lane.

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
Cul-de-sacs and HOA rules in the northern suburbs often mean meeting at the neighborhood entrance or a nearby lot.
Savannah Squares
The historic district's squares and lanes don't fit a carrier. Plan to meet at a lot off Bay Street or I-16.
Dallas Pickups
Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and Arlington sit where I-20, I-30, I-35E, and I-45 meet, which keeps trips in every direction moving. HOA streets in the northern suburbs often mean meeting at a lot. We can also pick up from our Freeport lot, including cars that just came in through Port Freeport.

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.
Can you deliver to a student at Georgia or Georgia Tech?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Can you pick up in Plano or Frisco?
Yes. The driver will usually meet you near the Tollway or US-75 if your street has HOA rules.
Should I ship or drive from Texas to Georgia?
Driving takes a long day and a half. Shipping makes sense if you're flying or moving more than one car.
Can you ship a car from Georgia back to Texas?
Yes. Request a quote with your Georgia pickup address and your Texas 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.
