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 used Ship A Car, Inc. to move two cars from Des Moines, WA to Blue Springs, MO. They hired Nationwide to transport my cars. The contract stated they would arrive no earlier than April 26th to pick up my cars. On April 24th I received a call from the driver stating he would be arriving April 25th pick up my cars. I said I needed my car on the 25th as stated he was not suppose to arrive until at least the 26th. He told me that the only other day he could pick up my cars was on the 29th which was my morning flight to MO. I contacted Ship A Car and they reconfirmed that he will arrive on April 28th to pick up my cars. On April 28th I receive a call from the driver stating he would be there between 6-7 PM. I called at 8 PM to see where he was and he told me that he stopped at a rest stop for awhile and would be there around 8:30 PM. Well, at 9:30 PM I called again and he said his truck broke down. He arrived in a car at 10 PM to sign for the cars. this was stressful as we were to leave on a flight the next morning. Upon arrival near Blue Springs, MO he stated that he needed to park in a large lot about 1.9 miles from my location. I did not realized he was hauling a nine car carrier and I needed to find a way to the lot which was 1.9 miles away. Upon arrival, I paid the driver in cash as they do not allow a credit card. This experience was less than desirable. If you use this carrier, don't be surprise that you may have to drive your vehicles to some large lot for loading and again to a large lot to retrive your vehicles. I doubt that other carriers would be any better. My cars made a trip to Chicago, etc. before arriving at their destination. Just don't be surprised to be inconvenienced in a similar manner no matter what carrier you use. There are some out there that take initial money and you never hear from them again. Check reviews before hiring.

My company recently lost our transportation driver and we was in need of a company to give us quick turnaround and least expensive rates. Willie Dublin was awesome and worked with me directly all hours of the day and even while he was on vacation to meet our company needs. I am very pleased with the experience and customer service. I look forward to a long relationship with Willie at Ship A Car.

I worked with Paul Sinclair.
He provided exceptional customer service and valuable knowledge for shipping my Toyota Corolla. The transporter who picked up my vehicle was courteous throughout the process as well. I would recommend asking for Paul S. as he was spot on with the communication , quote and customer expectations.
Thank you,
Glenn W.
