Georgia to Delaware Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Delaware is a two- to four-day trip up the East Coast. Traffic around Charlotte, Washington and Baltimore and summer beach crowds cause 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.
Charlotte Traffic
I-85 through Charlotte is one of the busiest roads in the Carolinas, and the I-485 loop backs up at rush hour. A driver who reaches Charlotte at the wrong time can lose an hour or more.
Summer Beach Traffic
On summer weekends, Route 1 and the roads to Rehoboth and the other Delaware beaches back up for miles. Carriers try to avoid Friday and Sunday afternoons from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Tip: Pick an Easy Delivery Spot
Many Wilmington streets are too narrow or crowded for a 75-foot car carrier. A large parking lot near I-95 or Route 1 is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Title Within 60 Days in Delaware
New residents must title and register their cars within 60 days. Every car with an out-of-state title has to go through a DMV inspection lane first. Bring your Georgia title, Delaware insurance and your Delaware driver's license or other proof of residency.
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.
