Georgia to Connecticut Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Connecticut runs the length of the East Coast, through some of the busiest roads in the country. Traffic around Washington, Baltimore and New York causes most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
I-95 Through Washington and Baltimore
Trucks heading north on I-95 pass around Washington, D.C., and through Baltimore's harbor tunnels, two of the worst traffic bottlenecks on the East Coast. Drivers try to time them for midday or late evening.
Getting Past New York City
Every route from Georgia to New England has to get past New York City, usually over the George Washington Bridge or the Mario Cuomo Bridge. Traffic and tolls there are some of the worst in the country, so drivers try to cross early or late in the day.
I-95 in Southern Connecticut
I-95 between Greenwich and New Haven is one of the most crowded stretches of interstate in New England. Rush-hour backups are common in both directions.
Tip: Trucks Are Banned on the Merritt Parkway
Commercial trucks aren't allowed on the Merritt Parkway, and many shoreline streets are too tight for a car carrier. If you live near the parkway, plan to meet the driver at a lot near I-95 or I-84.
Tip: Transfer Within 90 Days in Connecticut
New residents have 90 days to transfer their registration. Cars older than four model years need an emissions test, and newer ones need a VIN check, both done at a Connecticut emissions station. Bring your Georgia title, proof of Connecticut insurance and Form H-13B.
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.

Yes. Carriers with a winch can load and unload a car that doesn't run, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes. Expect to pay about $150 to $300 more than for a running car, and tell us the car doesn't run when you request quotes so you are matched with the right carrier.
