Preparing your car for the New York City to Atlanta route is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Before pickup:

• Remove all personal items, including toll passes (E-ZPass), GPS devices, and anything loose
• Take out custom accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or removable parts
• Clean your car and take photos for your records
• Keep gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 full
• Disable car alarms and provide working keys
• Check for leaks and note any existing damage

NYC-specific tip: If your car is parked in a garage or tight street, arrange to meet the carrier at a nearby accessible location. Many NYC streets are too narrow for large transport trucks.

For complete details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps ensures smooth pickup and delivery for your NYC to Atlanta shipment.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from New York City to Atlanta. At Sakaem Logistics, we require all our carriers to maintain at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your NYC to Atlanta shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. This protects your vehicle for the entire 870-mile journey. You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate for your records.

What this means for you: If damage occurs during transport, the carrier’s insurance covers repairs or replacement value. Most shipments arrive without issues, but this coverage gives you peace of mind on your New York to Georgia move.

For shipping your car from New York City to Atlanta, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading south.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can bundle multiple cars on the same route
• More flexibility: You get first pick of available pickup dates
• Less stress: No last-minute scrambling to find transport

That said, we understand life happens fast. If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days – though expect to pay premium rates for expedited service.

Pro tip: The NYC to Atlanta route is popular year-round, so even with short notice, we can usually find a carrier. But booking early always gets you the best deal and peace of mind.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

Your shipment with SAKAEM includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If your shipment includes ocean transit (Hawaii shipments), your vehicle must be emptied of all items. SAKAEM and your assigned carrier are not responsible for personal items left inside your vehicle. See our Auto Transport Process Article for more details.

A designated (adult) must be present at pickup and delivery. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

When shipping your car from New York City to Atlanta, you have two main transport options:

Open Auto Transport: Your vehicle travels on an open trailer alongside other cars. This is the most popular choice because it costs less and works well for most vehicles. Your car will be exposed to weather and road debris, but modern carriers use protective equipment to minimize risks.

Enclosed Auto Transport: Your vehicle travels inside a covered trailer, fully protected from weather, dust, and road debris. This option typically costs 40-60% more than open transport on the NYC to Atlanta route.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or vintage cars
• Luxury vehicles worth over $75,000
• Custom paint jobs or modifications
• Convertibles with soft tops

For most everyday vehicles making the 870-mile journey from New York City to Atlanta, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. The route is well-traveled by reputable carriers, making both options readily available year-round.

Yes, we offer convenient door-to-door auto transport service from New York City, NY to Atlanta, GA. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle right from your home, office, or any address you choose in NYC and deliver it directly to your preferred location in Atlanta.

When you book with Sakaem Logistics, simply tell us your pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will come to you – no need to drive to a terminal or depot. If your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or no parking for large trucks, don’t worry. We’ll work with you to find a safe nearby spot like a shopping center or gas station.

Why choose door-to-door service? It saves you time and hassle. You don’t need to arrange rides to pickup locations or take time off work to meet us somewhere inconvenient. We bring the service to you, making your move from New York City to Atlanta as smooth as possible.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, electric vehicles, vans and motorcycles across all 48 continental states + Hawaii. Our services even provide shipment for golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship vehicles that don’t run so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. The only exception is boats, which we do not transport.
