Shipping a car in Augusta

Augusta sits in Richmond County, Georgia and has about 201,737 residents, the 3rd largest of the Georgia cities we cover. Places this size are typically served as part of a wider regional run rather than as a dedicated trip, so the pickup date generally has more give in it than the delivery window does. Booking a few days early is what buys you a choice of dates.

Augusta is comparatively isolated among the cities we cover. The nearest city we serve is Swainsboro, roughly 65 mi away, and that gap is the single biggest factor in scheduling here. A pickup this far out is easier to place on a run already heading toward I-75, I-85, and I-20 than to arrange on its own, so expect a wider collection window and, on some loads, a meet point nearer the interstate. Lead time is worth more here than in most of Georgia.

Distances from Augusta to the larger markets around it: Savannah, GA at about 130 road miles, Charlotte, NC at about 165 road miles and Atlanta, GA at about 170 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 105 to 260 miles, quote $400 to $600 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Augusta pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
