Georgia to Maine Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Maine runs nearly the full length of the East Coast, through some of the busiest roads in the country. Traffic around Washington and New York and winter storms in New England 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.
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.
Nor'easters and Long Winters
Maine gets heavy snow from November into April, and a nor'easter can dump a foot or more in a day. Carriers often wait for the plows, and narrow, snowy side streets can make home delivery hard.
Tip: Pick an Easy Delivery Spot
Many Portland streets are too narrow or crowded for a 75-foot car carrier. A large parking lot near I-95 or I-295 is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Pay Excise Tax at Your Town Office
Maine does registration a little differently. You start at the town office where you live and pay the local excise tax, bringing your title, Georgia registration, insurance card and the car's mileage. Some town offices finish the registration on the spot. Others send you to the nearest BMV branch.
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.
