Alaska to Georgia Auto Transport Shipping
Shipping a car from Alaska to Georgia is really two trips. Cars from Anchorage sail south to Tacoma, Washington, on TOTE Maritime or Matson, and the voyage takes about three days. Fairbanks cars first ride about 360 miles south on the Parks Highway to Anchorage. Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan have no road connection to the rest of the country, so cars from Southeast Alaska go south by barge to Seattle. From Tacoma or Seattle, a car carrier drives about 2,650 to 2,885 miles to Georgia. The truck crosses the Rockies and the middle of the country and usually comes into Georgia toward Atlanta. Augusta is east of Atlanta on I-20, Athens is about 70 miles east, Columbus sits on the Alabama line, and Savannah is on the coast at the end of I-16. Alaska to Georgia Auto Transport usually takes 2 to 4 weeks from pickup to delivery. Auto transport rates can vary a lot between carriers, which is why getting several quotes matters.

Anchorage is the cheapest place in Alaska to ship from, because it has the main port. Fairbanks adds a truck ride to Anchorage, and Southeast Alaska adds a barge to Seattle. Size matters on the ship: TOTE charges the same southbound price for cars and SUVs under 84 inches tall, but anything bigger needs a custom quote. On the truck leg, a large SUV or pickup usually adds $75 to $150, and a car that doesn't run adds about $150 to $300. Our guide to what affects your auto transport quote covers the rest. Shipping an electric car or plug-in hybrid? Complete the form on this page or call 1-800-590-6492 before you book, because the ships and barges out of Alaska no longer accept them.
Ships out of Anchorage sail all year, so the sea leg is rarely the holdup. Winter storms can slow the truck in the mountains out West, spring brings severe storms to the South, and hurricane season can slow deliveries to Savannah. Read more about seasonal auto transport prices.

Alaska to Georgia Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a car from Alaska to Georgia means a ship or barge to Washington and then about 2,650 to 2,900 miles by truck. Most delays come from the sailing schedule, winter weather out West and traffic around Atlanta. Here's what to plan for, and a few ways to make it easier.
Electric Cars Are Hard to Ship
TOTE stopped taking electric cars and plug-in hybrids on August 1, 2025, Matson has suspended them, and Alaska Marine Lines does not ship them either. If you drive an EV or plug-in hybrid, tell us before you book so we can talk through your options.
No Roads From Southeast Alaska
Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan can't be reached by road from the rest of North America. Cars from these towns ride a barge to Seattle, which adds time and cost compared with Anchorage.
Atlanta Traffic
I-20, I-75, I-85 and the I-285 loop around Atlanta are some of the most congested roads in the country. A driver who reaches Atlanta at rush hour can lose hours.
Tip: Plan Around Football Saturdays
On Georgia home game weekends, more than 90,000 fans pack Athens. If you are shipping to Athens in the fall, check the football schedule and pick a different day if you can.
Tip: Register Within 30 Days in Georgia
New residents must register within 30 days at the County Tag Office, and you need a Georgia driver's license first. Georgia charges a one-time title tax of 3% of the car's value. If you live in one of 13 metro Atlanta counties, you will also need an emissions test.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.
