Car shipping in Savannah: on the I-95 lane, off the squares
Savannah sits right on I-95, two hours south of the Carolina line and two hours north of Jacksonville, which puts it on the route of every car hauler running the Northeast-to-Florida lane. Most of those trucks are full and bound for Florida, so a Savannah pickup is a matter of finding one with space, and the yards in Pooler and near the port turn some loads around locally. Two to four days is the normal wait, and booking two weeks ahead keeps it at the short end.
The customers are military families at Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart, students at SCAD and Georgia Southern, relocations to the port and logistics employers in Pooler and the manufacturing plants along I-16, retirees to the Landings, Richmond Hill and the Bluffton and Hilton Head side of the river, and buyers moving cars through the region's dealers. The historic district is the one part of the city a hauler cannot enter, and the meeting point is a short drive away. The quote form above is set to Savannah; add the other end of the trip and your vehicle for a range.
Pickup and delivery around Savannah and the Lowcountry
Outside the old city, most addresses are driveway pickups. Pooler, Richmond Hill, Rincon, Port Wentworth, Georgetown, the Southside along Abercorn, Wilmington and Whitemarsh Islands' wider streets, and across the river Bluffton, Okatie and Hilton Head's mainland side take a 75-foot truck wherever the street lets it turn without reversing. The Landings on Skidaway Island, the Ford Plantation, Palmetto Bluff and the Hilton Head plantations are gated and meet the driver at the visitor gate or a plaza outside; it does not change the price. Tybee's narrow streets mean a handover on the island's main road or in Wilmington Island.
The historic district and the Victorian district are meeting points. The squares, the live oaks and the tight one-way streets keep a hauler out, and the driver names a lot on Victory Drive, on Abercorn near the mall, or near the visitor center on the edge of downtown. Ardsley Park's wider streets sometimes work directly; the driver decides the day before. Savannah/Hilton Head International's hotel lots on Airways Avenue in Pooler are the usual handover for anyone flying the same day.
Hunter and Fort Stewart set their own rules. Carriers do not enter the installations; the driver meets you at a lot outside the gate, on Abercorn near Hunter or in Hinesville near Stewart, or at your off-base address. Put the report date on the booking; until a carrier is dispatched, dates move with your orders at no charge.
The port comes up because Savannah has a large one. For a domestic shipment the port is not involved; overseas shipping through Garden City is a separate service with customs paperwork. Hurricane season from August through October can hold a delivery by a day or two while I-95 reopens; carriers wait and nothing is charged. Belongings stay under about 100 pounds, below the window line, uninsured.

Why AutoShippingUS
Why Savannah drivers choose AutoShippingUS
Assigned to carriers that plan a Savannah stop
Plenty of trucks pass Savannah full. We assign your shipment to a carrier that has built a Pooler or port-area stop into its I-95 load, so the pickup window is days rather than an open-ended wait.
Hunter, Stewart and SCAD flagged at booking
PCS season and the SCAD move-in weeks are the tight windows here. If your dates fall in them your specialist says so at the first call and asks you to book ahead.
The Landings and the Lowcountry gates planned for
Skidaway, Palmetto Bluff and the Hilton Head plantations each have a visitor gate and their own rule for haulers. Your specialist confirms the handover at the gate when the truck is assigned.
Questions
Savannah car shipping questions
Not covered here? A specialist can answer route-specific questions in a couple of minutes.
888-706-8784Roughly $700–$1,000 from New York, $400–$600 from Atlanta, $800–$1,150 from Chicago, $850–$1,200 from Boston and $850–$1,225 from Dallas for a running sedan on an open carrier. Enclosed adds 40–60%; SUVs and pickups 12–20%.
Two to four days. Savannah is on I-95 and every Northeast-to-Florida truck passes it, but most are full and bound for Florida; the yards off I-95 in Pooler and at the port turn some loads around locally. Book two weeks ahead when you can.
Not on the squares. The streets downtown are tight and the trees are low, so the driver names a lot on Victory Drive, Abercorn or near the visitor center, or a wide street on the edge of the district.
Pooler, Richmond Hill, Rincon, the Southside, Georgetown, the Islands' wider streets, Bluffton and Hilton Head's mainland side. The Landings and other gated communities meet the driver at the gate.
Yes; both generate steady PCS shipments. Carriers do not enter the installations; the driver meets you at a lot outside the gate or at your off-base address.
For a domestic move, no; the car goes door to door on a truck. Overseas shipping through Garden City is a separate service and we can point you to a forwarder.
Summer, for PCS season and relocations, and mid-September and May for SCAD moves. Winter is steady and slightly cheaper.

Car Shipping Insurance: What Is Covered and How Claims Work
Your car is covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance while it is on the truck, typically $100,000–$250,000 per load on open carriers and more on enclosed. The Bill of Lading inspection at pickup and delivery is what makes a claim provable.
