"This is a good service. Our pick up truck was transported from Denver to Atlanta. The communication was good. The truck was not harmed and the driver was friendly. I was very impressed."

"Very professional, contract and info went smoothly and fast. Dispatcher kept me informed every dtep of the journey. Delivery was within 30 minutes of quoted time from South Dakota to my home in Virginia, that's damn good in my book, price of the shipping was very fair."

"Could not have asked for a better experience with a transport company. Only took 4 days for my car to be delivered from Colorado to Georgia. The dispatcher and driver were both great with communication! Pick up and drop off were on time in the windows they gave me."

"Wow !!! ...only a few days passed from order date to delivery from Georgia to New York ! I have used RoadRunner a few times previously, and they never let me down !"

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Georgia to South Dakota?

Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.

Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.

Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

Getting Ready

Before the carrier arrives

Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.

1

Schedule in advance

Book 7–14 days ahead for the best rates, and 2–3 weeks during peak season, when carrier space is tightest.

2

Prep and empty the vehicle

Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.

3

Inspect at pickup and delivery

Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.

Genuine experience: I had my suv shipped from Atlanta to Chicago - 11 Hours - the guy was on time and picked up the car 40 minute earlier than the time they said. I filled out a quote online on the website - they called and confirmed the order and assigned a driver. They said it would take 2-3 days to be delivered HOWEVER he got the car on friday @8am and we had the car next day @ 4PM lol less than 24 hours.
