Seasonal Tips for This Route

Carriers usually head west on I-20 through Birmingham and Dallas, then follow I-10 or I-20 across West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona into Southern California.

Pickups inside the Perimeter can be tight for a full-size carrier. A shopping center lot near an I-285 or I-75/I-85 exit makes loading quicker for everyone.

Summer heat in the desert Southwest is hard on weak batteries and old tires. Check both before pickup so the car can be driven on and off the truck without trouble.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from Atlanta to Los Angeles?
Baier's rate card prices open transport on this 2,180-mile lane at about $1,700 to $2,075 for a standard sedan and $1,925 to $2,400 for a pickup truck, for a running vehicle with a flexible pickup date. Enclosed transport adds 40 to 60 percent, and short-notice or exact-date pickups add a surcharge. Dispatch confirms the final price before booking.
How long does car shipping from Atlanta to Los Angeles take?
Plan on 6 to 7 days once the car is loaded. Baier calculates transit at 400 to 500 miles of driving per day plus half a day each to load and unload, which puts this 2,180-mile lane at 6 to 7 days. When pickup happens depends on matching your car with a carrier heading west, and flexible dates make that faster.
Will a Baier truck carry my car from Atlanta?
Baier runs about half of its loads on its own trucks and half with vetted partner carriers. Baier's own trucks are based in New England, so on an Atlanta to Los Angeles move it books a vetted partner carrier with active FMCSA authority on the lane and stays your point of contact.
Does the price change if my car is outside Atlanta?
The range on this page is for downtown Atlanta to downtown Los Angeles. Pickups elsewhere in Georgia are priced on the real road miles, and rural addresses can carry a remote-area adjustment in Baier's rate card. Enter your ZIP codes in the quote form for an exact estimate.
