Whether your journey begins in California and ends in Georgia, or it's the other way around, take it from us: You can't go wrong with either destination. California is known as the Sunshine State and for good reason. California cities and towns are regularly topping the charts as the country's sunniest places, with Redding, California averaging 88% sunshine year-round. Combine that with a perfect Mediterranean climate, and you've got it made in the shade; Well, in this case, the sun. Georgia is a subtropical climate with plenty of rainfall, hot summers, and mild winters. Known as the Peach State, it's the number one producer of peanuts, pecans, and peaches in the nation. It's also the birthplace of some of our nation's most important and influential figures, including Martin Luther King Jr., Ray Charles, and Jimmy Carter.

How to get your car ready to ship from California to Georgia
A note about insurance
Your auto transport carrier will provide basic cargo insurance that covers damage or loss of your vehicle during transport, and you won't be responsible for paying anything towards these costs. Carrier insurance doesn't cover any damage that happens during parking, storage, loading, or unloading, which is why we offer AFta gap coverage. Our gap coverage insurance plan will cover up to $2,000 of your private insurance deductible.
Getting your vehicle ready
Taking some basic preparation steps before transport helps us keep our auto transport costs low and our service efficient:
- Leave the gas tank ¼ full.
- Wash your car on the outside and thoroughly clean it on the inside.
- Check that all fluids are at appropriate levels.
- Let your transporter know of any leaking fluids.
- Check your battery charge and tire pressure.
- Take high-quality photographs before and after transport.
- Remove all ornaments and accessories, including racks, spoilers, and antennas.
- Remove toll tags, and EZ passes from windshields.
- Remove personal belongings.
- Leave a spare tire and jack in your car.
