Georgia to Florida Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Florida is one of the most popular car-shipping routes in the Southeast. Most delays come from the season you ship in: snowbirds in the fall and hurricanes from June through November. Here's what to plan for, and when to ship if your dates are flexible.
Hurricane Season
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and Florida takes direct hits every few years. When a storm threatens, carriers may hold deliveries until the roads reopen and evacuation traffic clears.
Snowbird Season
From October through December, thousands of winter residents send their cars to Florida. Demand pushes prices up and can make pickups slower, so book early if you are moving in the fall.
Atlanta Traffic
Most trucks leaving Georgia start in or pass through Atlanta, where I-75, I-85 and I-20 meet. Traffic on the Downtown Connector and the I-285 loop is among the heaviest in the country, so drivers try to get through Atlanta before or after rush hour.
Tip: Ship in Late Spring if You Can
If your dates are flexible, late spring is usually the cheapest and fastest time to send a car to Florida, after the snowbird rush and before hurricane season picks up.
Tip: Register Within 10 Days in Florida
Florida expects new residents to get Florida insurance and register within 10 days of moving there. Your car's VIN has to be checked by a police officer, a Florida dealer or a tax collector employee, and you will need your Georgia title and Form HSMV 82040.
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. Shipping an Inoperable Vehicle explains how it works.
