Georgia to Texas Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Texas is a two- to five-day trip west, either straight across on I-20 or along the Gulf Coast on I-10. Atlanta traffic, Gulf storms and the long bridges in Louisiana cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
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.
Hurricane Season Near Houston
Hurricane season on the Gulf Coast runs from June 1 to November 30. A storm near Houston can flood roads and push back deliveries for days, so keep an eye on the forecast if you ship in late summer or fall.
The Atchafalaya Basin Bridge
Houston runs on I-10 cross the Atchafalaya Basin in Louisiana on a bridge about 18 miles long. There are few places to turn off, so a crash on it can stop traffic for hours.
Tip: Pick an Easy Delivery Spot
Many Houston and Dallas streets are too narrow or crowded for a 75-foot car carrier. A large parking lot near a major highway is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Check for an Emissions Test in Texas
Texas gives new residents 30 days to register their cars at the county tax assessor-collector's office. If you live in one of 17 counties, including Dallas, Harris, Tarrant and Travis, you need an emissions test at a state inspection station first. Bring proof of Texas insurance, your Georgia title or registration, and Form 130-U.
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.
