Give the carrier the California release contact and Georgia receiving contact, with both addresses and their available hours. For a dealer purchase, obtain explicit permission to collect and confirm that the keys and paperwork will be ready.
Who has the car at each end?
Ask the assigned carrier to accept the loading locations.

Turn this plan into comparable transport options
Use the actual vehicle, pickup and delivery details, timing and handling needs so every quote starts from the same scope.
Choose the service you actually need
Describe the car’s condition and modifications. Compare open and enclosed proposals on their accepted scope, not an assumed standard price difference. If the car cannot move normally, require the loading arrangement and extra cost in writing. A promise to serve Georgia does not establish delivery to your exact property.
Arrival and registration are separate milestones
Georgia DOR provides title and registration instructions through county tag offices. If the shipment accompanies a move or purchase, check the process that applies to you before the vehicle arrives. The transport receipt cannot settle missing ownership documents.
Georgia DOR reference
Make a changed arrival manageable
- Ask how much notice the Georgia receiver can expect.
- Send that person the California condition report.
- Agree on a backup receiver or storage procedure.
- Obtain cancellation and rescheduling terms.
Record the full transport price and payment stages with any allowed revision conditions. Inspect the vehicle at delivery and follow the contracted claims procedure for differences. Do not infer a guaranteed schedule from the route name.
Make the Georgia receiver part of the California booking
Before dispatch, give the Georgia recipient the proposed delivery window, pickup photographs and the payment or identification steps expected at receipt. If the property has a gate, restricted hours or no room for the assigned transporter, settle an approved alternate location and who moves the car onward. This matters even when the car itself can easily enter the property.
Keep the California release equally specific: name the key holder, clear dealer or storage authorization and tell the carrier about low clearance or mechanical faults. When comparing prices, hold those handoffs and the requested equipment constant and ask how waiting, storage, cancellation or an address change would alter the written total.
