Georgia to New York car shipping runs $900 to $1,100 for a mid-size car on an open trailer into the New York metro, averaging about $1,000. Atlanta to New York is 885 miles and runs $1,000; Savannah is $925 over 780 miles; Columbus is $1,050 over 950. Upstate destinations like Buffalo cost more, around $1,200, even though they are no further. Bigger vehicles, a single fixed pickup day, or delivery into Manhattan rather than the suburbs will push it higher. Enclosed trailers, non-running cars and oversized trucks are priced per vehicle.

About 3 days on the road once your car is collected. Savannah is the quickest at 2 to 3 days; Columbus is the longest at 3 to 4. Pickup happens inside the date range you give us, so plan on a few extra days from booking to delivery.

From Atlanta and north Georgia, I-85 up through Greenville, Charlotte and Durham, joining I-95 in Virginia and running through Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia into the New York metro. From Savannah the car is on I-95 almost from the start. It is a short trip by long-haul standards but it crosses the most congested stretch of interstate in the country, which is what drives most of the variation in timing.

Often it can, but not always, and there is a specific reason people are surprised by. Car carriers cannot use New York's parkways — the Belt, the Southern State, the Hutchinson and the rest were built for cars only, and their stone overpasses are too low for a loaded transporter. Everything commercial moves on the expressways instead. Combined with narrow streets and alternate-side parking in Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn and Queens, that means we sometimes meet you at a larger lot nearby. Long Island, Westchester and most of New Jersey are straightforward. There is no extra charge for a meeting point.

Because of what the driver does after dropping your car off, not the distance. Buffalo is 881 miles from Atlanta and Brooklyn is 885, yet Buffalo runs about $200 more. A carrier does not want to finish a run and drive away empty. Where the delivery point has vehicles waiting to be collected, the driver drops yours, picks up the next job and keeps earning, so the trip prices at the normal rate. Where there is little going back out, the driver covers those next miles for nothing before the next load starts paying, and that gets built into the price. New York City has vehicles moving in both directions all year. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and much of the Hudson Valley have far less coming back, so they sit above the city on the same mileage.

Across the metro areas and most of the state, yes. Atlanta is easy apart from the tree cover — the city has more of it than almost any other large American city, and a car carrier stands around fourteen feet tall, so low branches on older residential streets matter more than road width. If your street is heavily shaded we load at the end of the block. Savannah's historic district is the other exception: it was laid out in 1733 around a grid of squares and twenty-two survive, which a full carrier cannot work through, so we hand over just outside it.

No. Your car never sits anywhere. It goes from your address straight onto the carrier and stays covered under Carrier Cargo Insurance for the entire trip. Our offices are where dispatchers book your transport and call you with updates, not storage yards. Fewer people handle your vehicle and there is no gap in coverage between pickup and delivery.

We cover both as service areas rather than walk-in offices, with the New York metro worked out of Long Island. That means no counter to visit, but you do reach someone who knows the route — including which expressways a loaded carrier can actually use. Our staffed offices are in Los Angeles, Lakewood WA, Chicago and Kissimmee FL, and the national line is 888-709-9078.

Open is what most cars travel on and what the prices on this page are based on. It is the same kind of trailer that delivers new cars to dealerships. Enclosed puts your car inside, away from road spray and debris, and is usually chosen for luxury, classic, exotic or freshly painted cars. We price enclosed per vehicle rather than publishing a figure, because the difference varies by car and season.

Yes, as long as the carrier has a winch or the right equipment. Non-running cars are priced separately from the rates on this page. Tell us the true condition when you ask for a quote and the right truck turns up first time, with your price unchanged.

No. Asking for a Georgia to New York car shipping quote does not put you on a call list. We only use what you give us to answer you directly, and we never sell it to anyone. You are welcome to call us, though, on 888-709-9078.
