About this route
Why so many cars go from Colorado to Georgia
About 4,874 people moved from Colorado to Georgia in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (5,154 in 2023, 4,594 in 2024). That is 2.3% of everyone who left Colorado for another state.
Traffic runs both ways — about 5,209 people a year move from Georgia back to Colorado — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,200, shipping from Colorado to Georgia costs more than sending a car to Washington ($1,125) and Oregon ($1,125) but less than to North Carolina ($1,275) and Virginia ($1,350). That works out to about 85¢ a mile.
Distance and transit time
Denver to Atlanta is about 1,420 road miles, or 3–6 days on a car carrier. Most of the wait is before pickup, while the driver fills the trailer. The car heads east-southeast and crosses 2 time zones — from Mountain to Eastern time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
On the road
- The route crosses mountain passes in the West; from November to March, snow and chain laws can hold trucks for a day or two.
