How to Save 50% with Weekly Container Consolidation to Georgia

Shipping cars to Georgia doesn’t have to break the bank. At West Coast Shipping, our weekly container consolidation service from New Jersey and Florida to Poti Port slashes costs by up to 50% compared to dedicated container shipping. Whether you’re shipping a single vehicle or multiple cars, this guide explains how consolidation works and why it’s the smart choice for budget-conscious importers.

How Container Consolidation Works

Shared Space, Lower Costs

Consolidation allows multiple customers to share space in a single 40ft container. Here’s the breakdown:

  • 2–4 vehicles per container: Split costs with other importers

  • Weekly departures: Guaranteed loading from NJ/FL

  • 30 days free storage: Hold vehicles at our facilities pre-shipment

For example, shipping three cars in a shared container from Florida costs $1,450 per vehicle, versus $2,800 for a dedicated container.

Cost Comparison: Consolidation vs. Dedicated

Service Cost per Vehicle Best For
Consolidated Container from $1,100 Single/multiple budget shipments
Dedicated Container $2,800–$4,400 High-value/urgent shipments
