Everything You Need to Know About the State of Georgia (GA)
The youngest of the 13 former English colonies, Georgia was founded in 1732 and included in the union on January 2, 1788, as the fourth state. By the mid-19th century, Georgia had the greatest number of plantations of any state in the South, and in many aspects, it emerged as a breeding house of plantation culture in the country.
Located in the southeastern region of the United States, Georgia is bordered by Tennessee to the north, South Carolina to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Alabama to the west with Atlanta as the capital. Atlanta is the largest city and it is called by the nickname of Peach State.
It is also well-known as the “Empire State of the South”. The state tree is the Live Oak and Cherokee rose is considered the state flower. ‘Wisdom, Justice and Moderation’- is the state motto.
Although initially conceived of by James Oglethorpe as a refuge for London’s indebted prisoners, Georgia was ultimately established in 1732 to protect South Carolina and other southern colonies from Spanish invasion through Florida.
The 13th and last of the British colonies, Georgia was the only one to be governed remotely by a Board of Trustees in London for the first 20 years. Additionally, it was also the only colony to prohibit slavery since its inception.
Georgia was the first of 10 states to vote against ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the voting right. Even after it became federal law on August 26, 1920, Georgia women were prevented from voting until 1922. The state legislature did not officially ratify the amendment until 1970.
As it is one of the leading farming states, Georgia is the country’s number-one producer of peanuts, pecans, and peaches, and Vidalia onions, known as the sweetest onions in the world, can only be grown in the fields around Vidalia and Glennville. Another sweet treat from the Peach State is Coca-Cola, which was invented in Atlanta in 1886.

Reasons Why You should use an Auto shipping Company to Transport Your Vehicle
It saves time.
Using the services of a shipping company ensures your car arrives at the destination intact.
Auto transport companies help you protect your car from wear and tear.
The value of your car is preserved. Driving along long distances increases mileage on your odometer, but with a shipping company, you don’t have to worry about mileage adding up.
Cost of Shipping to Georgia
Type of Auto Transport Used
This is a major factor that influences the cost of shipping. There are two main types of auto transport carriers used. The carrier is the truck used to transport the vehicles. The two main types of auto transport used are:
Open Auto transport: This is the most widely used kind of transport. Most shipping companies have these trucks readily available. The car would be placed on the back of an open trailer and fastened for safety. It is an economical type of transportation since several vehicles can be transported at once. It is frequently used by most car dealerships to transport vehicles across states.
Enclosed Auto transport: In this type of transport, your car would be shielded from small road fragments flying into your car and bad weather conditions. If you own a luxury or classic car, this type of transportation is recommended because it gives your car extra protection and reduces the chances of damage. It costs more than the typical open auto transport because it requires specialized trailers. The driver of such trailers has experience in handling high-end vehicles. Enclosed trailers usually have hydraulic ramps to allow easy loading of low-ground vehicles.
Distance
It is quite obvious that the longer the distance, the more it’ll cost to ship your vehicle. For long journeys, there’s a discount on cost per mile, but there are still more miles and that is why it is more expensive.
Type and Condition of Vehicle
The type of car you want to transport affects the rate. All vehicles have different dimensions and weights. Larger vehicles are significantly heavier than smaller cars and take up more space, hence they are more expensive to transport.
The condition of a vehicle affects how it would be loaded into the trailer. Vehicles that are not running would require a forklift or a winch to move. Inoperable vehicles require more equipment to handle making them a little bit more expensive to ship.
Location
The location of the origin and destination of your vehicle influences the rate of shipping. Popularly traveled roads cost less because they are easier for truck drivers to locate and more customers are likely to ship along these routes. Shipping to and from relatively isolated areas is more expensive.
Delivery Schedule
If you want your vehicle delivered fast, you can go for the expedited shipping option. However, it is more expensive. Planning and having a flexible delivery schedule helps you get better deals.
Suggestions for Selecting an Auto Transport Company
Get Shipping Quotes from Different Companies
Compare the services rendered by different auto shipping companies and the quotes. Get quotes from different companies to have an estimate of how much it costs to ship your car. It would give an idea of what your budget should be.
Verify the Registration Status of the Company
It is pertinent to check if the company has all the licenses and permits to operate. It is safer to use a company that is fully registered to protect yourself and your vehicle. It’s better to be careful about the company you hire to prevent being scammed.
Make Sure the Company Has Good Insurance
Use the services of a company that checks all insurance policies of the carriers they dispatch to; Carriers must have at least the minimum insurance coverage for damages that can occur during transit (this is mandated by the FMCSA). You should check the level of coverage provided by the insurance policy they have. You can also purchase additional insurance for extra protection for the duration of the transport process.
Hire an Experienced Company
The auto transportation business demands skilled staff and significant resources. A company that has been in the business for many years is more reliable as they have stood the test of time. Be sure to look into the experience and capabilities of different companies while conducting background checks on them. Make sure you use the services of an experienced company with a track record of successful deliveries.
Beware of Companies that make Unbelievable Offers
Shipping a car from one location to another requires a lot of effort, skills, and time. If a company is offering to ship your car at a ridiculously low price, the odds are they might be hiding some information and it might cost you more in the long run. Such companies might take forever to deliver your vehicle, they may not have appropriate licensing or they might not have good insurance coverage.
Look Into Their Reviews
Check what people are saying about the company. You can get reviews about the company online. Make sure the company responds well to negative comments, and see that they don’t have unresolved complaints.

I had a classic VW Beetle shipped from California to New York. Danny (the representative from Ship A Car) was the BEST! He explained everything to me step by step. I had never shipped a car before and I called a bunch of different companies and was feeling leery. But Danny was patient, very kind, and trustworthy. He explained everything to me. He encouraged me to look up the company on the BBB website, which I did. After doing my research, I knew this was the company for me. If you need to ship a car, CALL DANNY He's aces! My car arrived as scheduled and the price was fair. Thanks Dan - you're the best!

They hauled my very expensive V8 chopper from OK to Clearwater, FL. Took care or it like it was a baby. Pedro the driver was amazing and Pepper the dispatcher was all over it from before they pick it up to the delivery. She was a life saver.

Hired their driver. He never delivered the car and kept it on his truck nearly 2 weeks. Returned it to us damaged and found out that the driver was uninsured, despite Ship-A-Car's statement that the drivers are bonded and insured. Reached out to Ship-A-Car directly for reimbursement and get no reply.

The rep who answered the phone was a car person. He explained to me that his dad had lots of cars and he had a Dairy Queen and they parked their cars out front. I’ve always been around race cars and he has a racecar. So, out of all the people I talked to, whoever that rep was, he was the most knowledgeable. He is probably Ship A Car’s best salesman. The car was to be transported to my house and they said it would be here Friday. I was out of town and I was driving back from Fort Worth in the evening on Wednesday, and I get a call. The man said that he would like to drop off my car that night. I said that I was not even at my house and asked how he got down so fast. It was Wednesday. He said not to worry about it and asked if he could drop it off between 7:00 and 8:00.
I got up in the morning and my wife informed me that the sprinkler people were coming. So at 7:15, at least four pickup trucks and about eight guys showed up, and they all parked around our house. And at 7:45, a neighbor, two houses down, was replacing their fence. So, another four trucks showed up with eight guys. And accordingly, I’m going, “Where is this guy?” And sure enough, here he comes with the transport, zigzagging in between all these parked trucks. He asked where he would park. I told him to back it in our cul-de-sac and he did. Then, the local security guard asked if I was moving. I told him I was getting a car delivered. So, he stops.
There must be 20 people, all watching. Then the driver asked if I knew how to drive a stick shift. He couldn’t get the car out of the carrier because he couldn’t drive a stick. So I told him I would help him. He’s got two cars in the carrier, mine, which follow in the front, and another car that’s barely turned over. It’s shaking and rattling, and he backs that out. He puts it in neutral and it’s just sitting there idly. He comes back in and gives me the keys. I asked him if he realized how much space there was between the door and the carrier and I couldn't get in the car. He’s a skinny guy so he gets in the car. I told him to wind the window down, get out of the car and let me see if I can hold on the top of the carrier, and I’ll get in like a racecar driver. So, that’s what I did. And the moment I turned on that car, I was in heaven. The sound of that car gave me goosebumps, and I backed it up probably about a half a mile per hour, super slow.
I drive around all the cars and I said that I got to inspect this because it was way dustier than what the photo showed. I looked at it and it was perfect. Finally, my wife started talking to the two other people that wanted to talk to me but I said that I gotta get this in the garage and check it out. The driver was gonna leave and once he leaves, if there were any problems, it’s sorry, Charlie. Then, we paid the driver and he was all smiles because it was 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s and 50s. We hadn't had a chance to go to the bank to just give him a 100. And he got in his trailer. It was a very nice experience.

This was my first time using Ship A Car. I had my car shipped to Hawaii. The whole thing went smoothly. I'm just waiting on the port call now for the return trip, when they deliver it to California. The customer service was outstanding. I wasn't comfortable at first. We had originally signed with a competitor's shipping service, but that didn't go well. Ship A Car was very reassuring, and turned out to be the best thing that could have happened for my car delivery. I would use them again.

I recently had my 67 Cadillac shipped from Springfield Mo to Montgomery AL. Chris at Ship A Car did a great job - within 3 days of agreeing to use Ship A Car, I was notified of a date that the car would be picked up and delivered. They picked up the car at the time agreed and delivered the car damage free. Communication was great all along the way and the price quoted when I contracted with them remained unchanged. Chris, thanks so much for your help.

I was looking around for a car transport for my boss on short notice, Justen at ship a car gave me a price that was in the high end of the budget. After we had everything set we ended our call. literally it took him less than five minutes to find a driver and set it up for the dates I needed. If I need to ship another car again I will be calling Justen directly. There were no issues, he didnt give me any excuses, very professional and polite. If your reading this hang up and call Justen, bottom line!

Easy and efficient. Finding a driver was a little difficult given my location but Stephen did it! The driver, Pavel, texted me with the estimated time of pick-up which was exact. He told me what day my car would arrive and again, gave me an accurate time of delivery. All went smoothly. I would definitely recommend this company.
