For importers shipping cars to Georgia, choosing the right departure point and service can mean saving thousands while ensuring timely delivery. At West Coast Shipping, we specialize in cost-effective container shipping from New Jersey and Florida to Poti Port, Georgia’s primary gateway for US vehicles. With rates starting at $1,100 per car and weekly consolidated departures, our service is designed to maximize value for dealers, collectors, and wholesalers.
Our New Jersey and Florida facilities offer distinct advantages for shipping to Georgia:
New Jersey: Ideal for East Coast exporters, with direct Atlantic routes to Poti (35–45 days transit).
Florida: Closer proximity to Georgia, reducing transit times and fuel costs.
Both locations provide:
Weekly consolidated container departures
30 days of free storage before loading
Nationwide vehicle pickup to our secure facilities
Shipping from these ports cuts expenses significantly compared to West Coast routes. For example:
| Route | Cost per Vehicle | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|
| Florida to Poti | $1,100–$1,800 | 35–45 days |
| New Jersey to Poti | $1,250–$2,000 | 40–50 days |
Our weekly container consolidation service from NJ and FL allows multiple importers to share space, dramatically lowering costs:
Shared 40ft containers: Split costs with 2–4 vehicles per box.
Guaranteed departures: No last-minute delays.
No chassis fees: We own our chassis fleet, eliminating hidden charges.
For example, shipping three cars from Florida in a shared container costs $1,450 each, versus $2,800 for a dedicated container.
Pro Tip: Use our instant rate calculator to lock in prices for 30 days.
Dealers shipping 10+ cars monthly qualify for discounted rates as low as $950/vehicle. Learn more about our wholesale solutions.
Inspections: Ensure vehicles meet Georgian import standards.
Documentation prep: Titles, bills of lading, and customs forms handled by our team.
