About this route
Why so many cars go from Georgia to Arizona
About 4,772 people moved from Georgia to Arizona in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (6,326 in 2023, 3,218 in 2024). That is 2% of everyone who left Georgia for another state.
Traffic runs both ways — about 3,896 people a year move from Arizona back to Georgia — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,350, shipping from Georgia to Arizona costs more than sending a car to Colorado ($1,200) and New York ($1,000) but less than to California ($1,500) and Washington ($1,625). That works out to about 72¢ a mile — long hauls cost less per mile because loading and paperwork are spread over more distance.
Distance and transit time
At roughly 1,870 road miles, Atlanta to Phoenix is a cross-country haul. Federal hours-of-service rules cap truck drivers at 11 hours behind the wheel a day, so plan on 4–7 days in transit once the car is loaded. The car heads west and crosses 2 time zones — from Eastern to Mountain time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
On the road
- Trucks usually take the southern route across the desert Southwest, which stays open all winter — one reason this lane runs on schedule year-round.

Georgia to Arizona car shipping: questions
Numbers on this page come from our price model, Census moving data and Arizona's DMV.
