About this route

Why so many cars go from Georgia to New York

About 8,133 people moved from Georgia to New York in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (8,013 in 2023, 8,252 in 2024). That is 3.4% of everyone who left Georgia for another state.

This is the lighter direction: about 17,384 people a year move New York to Georgia. Carriers that bring cars into Georgia need loads back toward New York, so it's worth asking for a backhaul price on this leg.

How the price compares

At a typical $1,000, shipping from Georgia to New York costs more than sending a car to Texas ($975) and Florida ($925) but less than to Colorado ($1,200) and Arizona ($1,350). That works out to about $1.14 a mile.

Distance and transit time

At about 880 road miles, Atlanta to New York takes 2–4 days by carrier; a driver may deliver the same day if your car is the last one loaded. The car heads northeast and stays on Eastern time the whole way.

FAQ

Georgia to New York car shipping: questions

Numbers on this page come from our price model, Census moving data and New York's DMV.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Georgia to New York?

For a running sedan on an open carrier, expect about $800–$1,200 from Atlanta to New York (880 road miles). Between other big cities in the two states prices range from $775–$1,250. An SUV costs about $900–$1,350, a pickup $1,050–$1,575, and an enclosed trailer $1,200–$1,800 for a sedan.

How long does it take to ship a car from Georgia to New York?

Transit is usually 2–4 days after pickup for the 880-mile trip from Atlanta to New York. Before that, allow 1–5 days for a carrier to be assigned — or pay roughly 30% extra to have it collected within 48 hours.

When is the cheapest time to ship a car from Georgia to New York?

January–May and September–November is the cheapest window on this lane. Prices are highest in June–August, up to about 8% more. In any month, giving the carrier a wide pickup window lowers the quote.

Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car from Georgia to New York?

Driving 880 miles takes about 2 days: roughly $110 in gas and 1 night of hotels and meals (about $140). Shipping a sedan costs about $800–$1,200. Over this distance driving usually costs less, if you can spare the day.
