Atlanta is the auto transport hub of the Southeast and it is not even close. Manheim Atlanta is one of the largest auto auctions in the entire country, processing tens of thousands of vehicles a month. ADESA Atlanta, Copart, and IAA locations add even more auction volume to the market. I-75 and I-85 cross through Atlanta and together they connect Florida to Michigan and the Northeast to the Southwest. I-20 runs east to west connecting Alabama and the Gulf Coast to South Carolina and the ports. Carriers are always in Atlanta because there is always another load waiting.
Pickups in Atlanta typically happen within 1 to 2 days. This is one of the fastest markets we work in. The sheer volume of auction activity alone means carriers are staging in and around Atlanta constantly. If your car is in the suburbs, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, or the south side it is very smooth. Downtown Atlanta itself is manageable but as with most dense city centers carriers sometimes prefer a nearby meetup spot. The speed of this market is hard to beat.
The Bay Area is a high volume auto transport market but it has some quirks worth knowing about. San Francisco proper is tough for carriers because of the hills, narrow streets, and parking situation. Most carriers prefer to pick up and drop off in Oakland, the East Bay, San Jose, or the Peninsula rather than inside the city limits. The Port of Oakland handles significant vehicle import traffic and there is a Manheim location in the Bay Area that keeps carrier activity flowing. The dealer market across the metro is solid, especially in the South Bay. This is a strong market overall, just not always easy to access in SF proper.
Delivering to the Bay Area is active. Carriers on I-5 from LA or the Pacific Northwest, and on I-80 from the Midwest and Mountain West, pass through regularly. The same street access consideration applies on delivery. Carriers will bring your car very close but may want to hand it off at a more accessible spot if you are in the city itself. It is a small coordination thing, not a problem.
Shipping a standard sedan from Atlanta to San Francisco on open carrier currently estimates between $1300 and $1600. That is based on the 2,606-mile distance and current market conditions.
Atlanta runs at or slightly below the national average on most routes. The Florida corridor is extremely active with snowbird traffic from October through April, so prices on Atlanta to South Florida routes can fluctuate seasonally. Everything else is pretty steady and competitive. Routes to Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and the Midwest are all well serviced. Get a quote to see current pricing on your specific lane.
The Bay Area runs slightly above the national average. The street access challenge adds a small premium, and the cost of operating in California generally pushes prices up a little versus comparable distances in other states. Popular lanes like Bay Area to LA, Bay Area to Portland, and Bay Area to Las Vegas are very competitive. Long haul routes to the Midwest and East Coast are solid but expect to pay market rate or slightly above. Get a quote for your exact route.
