About this route
Why so many cars go from Georgia to Florida
About 39,429 people moved from Georgia to Florida in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (44,469 in 2023, 34,388 in 2024). That is 16.4% of everyone who left Georgia for another state — no state draws more people from Georgia.
Traffic runs both ways — about 53,810 people a year move from Florida back to Georgia — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $925, shipping from Georgia to Florida is one of the cheaper long moves out of Georgia — Texas ($975) and New York ($1,000) cost more. That works out to about $1.28 a mile.
Distance and transit time
The 720-mile run from Atlanta to Miami takes 2–4 days on a carrier — short enough that driving yourself is a real option. The car heads south-southeast 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.
