Car Shipping from Atlanta to Los Angeles
Moving west from Atlanta to Los Angeles? It's about 2,200 miles along the southern interstates. We find a vetted open carrier already heading west and handle the coordination from pickup in metro Atlanta to your door in Southern California.
The Atlanta to Los Angeles route
Westbound carriers usually take I-20 out of Atlanta and connect to I-10 through Texas, New Mexico and Arizona into Los Angeles. It's a steady, low-snow corridor for most of the year.
When to book
Late spring and summer are the busiest moving months on westbound lanes. Booking early in the season gives you more carrier options.
Southern California deliveries rarely see weather delays, but LA traffic can shift a delivery time by a few hours. Your driver will call ahead.

What do I need to do once my car arrives in California?
If you're moving to California, you have 20 days after becoming a resident to register your vehicle with the DMV, or late fees apply. Most vehicles need a California smog check first. Bring your smog certificate, out-of-state title, current registration and proof of California insurance, and the DMV will verify your VIN on site. Check dmv.ca.gov for current requirements.
