About this route
Why so many cars go from Florida to Georgia
About 53,811 people moved from Florida to Georgia in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (55,250 in 2023, 52,371 in 2024). That is 10.6% of everyone who left Florida for another state — no state draws more people from Florida.
Traffic runs both ways — about 39,428 people a year move from Georgia back to Florida — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $925, shipping from Florida to Georgia costs more than sending a car to South Carolina ($850) but less than to North Carolina ($950) and Alabama ($1,000). That works out to about $1.28 a mile.
Distance and transit time
At about 720 road miles, Miami to Atlanta takes 2–4 days by carrier; a driver may deliver the same day if your car is the last one loaded. The car heads north-northwest and stays on Eastern time the whole way.
On the road
- Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally delays Gulf and Atlantic coast deliveries; carriers will reschedule rather than drive into a storm.
