Georgia to New York Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to New York can mean a trip up I-95 to the city or a longer run through Pennsylvania to upstate. Traffic around Washington and New York, truck traffic on I-81 and lake-effect snow upstate 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.
Lake-Effect Snow Upstate
Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse sit downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario and are among the snowiest big cities in the country. From December through February, a lake-effect band can close lanes for hours.
Heavy Truck Traffic on I-81
I-81 through Virginia and Pennsylvania is one of the busiest truck routes in the East, and much of it has only two lanes each way. Crashes and winter ice can close it for hours.
Tip: Plan the New York City Drop-Off
Big car carriers have to stay on New York City's truck routes, and many streets in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens are too tight for them. Most drivers meet customers in a large lot near a highway, sometimes just across the river in New Jersey or in Westchester.
Tip: Register Within 30 Days in New York
New York gives new residents 30 days to register their cars, and it never accepts out-of-state insurance, so get a New York policy first. You will need a completed Vehicle Registration/Title Application (MV-82), your original Georgia title, proof of New York insurance and proof of identity. The car also needs a New York inspection.
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.
