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.
