Tennessee to Georgia Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a vehicle from Tennessee to Georgia comes with specific considerations. Here's what you need to know before booking:
Atlanta Traffic
I-75, I-85, I-20 and the I-285 loop around Atlanta are some of the most congested roads in the country. A driver who reaches Atlanta at rush hour can lose hours, so deliveries there often go more smoothly midday.
The Climb Over Monteagle
Between Chattanooga and Nashville, I-24 climbs Monteagle Mountain on one of the steepest interstate grades in the East, with runaway truck ramps on the way down. Fog, ice and crashes there can slow car carriers or stop them for hours.
Hurricane Season on the Coast
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. When a storm threatens Savannah and the Georgia coast, carriers may hold deliveries until the roads are clear and evacuation traffic has moved out.
Tip: Plan Around Football Saturdays
On Georgia home game weekends, more than 90,000 fans pack Athens. If you are shipping to Athens in the fall, check the football schedule and pick a different day if you can.
Tip: Register Within 30 Days in Georgia
New residents must register within 30 days at the County Tag Office, and you need a Georgia driver's license first. Georgia charges a one-time title tax of 3% of the car's value. If you live in one of 13 metro Atlanta counties, you will also need an emissions test.
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.
