Chicago to Savannah, coastal Georgia made easy

Savannah is a two-day haul of about 920 miles from the Chicago area. We run south on I-65 through Indianapolis and Nashville, pick up I-24 and I-75 through Atlanta, then take I-16 east across the coastal plain to the Savannah River. It's a move that trades Midwest winters for live oaks, Spanish moss, and the Atlantic.

We deliver throughout the area: the cobblestone Historic District and its famous squares, the Victorian District and Starland, leafy Ardsley Park, the islands of Tybee, Wilmington, and Skidaway, and nearby Pooler, Richmond Hill, and Hilton Head, SC. One coordinator, one crew, one binding price.

Why Illinois residents move to Savannah

Savannah pairs Southern charm and coastal living with real economic momentum. The nearby Port of Savannah is one of the busiest container terminals in the country, Hyundai's giant EV 'Metaplant' opened just west of the city, and tourism, film, and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) round out the economy. Georgia's flat state income tax and far lower property taxes than Illinois make the cost side attractive too.

  • Port and manufacturing jobs. The Georgia Ports Authority and Hyundai's new EV Metaplant are powering fast regional growth.
  • Historic, walkable beauty. The National Historic Landmark District, 22 squares, and River Street are unlike anywhere in the Midwest.
  • Coastal lifestyle. Beaches on Tybee Island, marsh kayaking, and a mild, subtropical climate.
  • Lower cost of living. Georgia's flat income tax and modest property taxes stretch Chicago-sale proceeds further.

Preparing for your Savannah move

  • Flag Historic District access. Narrow one-way streets, squares, and no driveways may require a shuttle β€” tell us the address layout.
  • Mind hurricane season. The Georgia coast can see storms June–November; flexible dates help us route around weather.
  • Pack for humidity. Subtropical moisture can affect wood, electronics, and instruments β€” we'll advise on protection.
  • Declutter before the quote. Weight is the biggest cost driver on any interstate move.

Chicago to Savannah moving FAQ

Can you move into the Savannah Historic District?

Yes. We plan for the district's narrow streets, squares, and lack of driveways, using smaller shuttle vehicles where a large truck can't reach.

About 920 miles and a two-day transit via I-65, I-24, I-75, and I-16.

Do you also serve Tybee Island and Hilton Head?

Yes β€” the coastal islands (Tybee, Wilmington, Skidaway) and nearby Hilton Head, SC are part of our delivery area.

Can you store my belongings if my Savannah home isn't ready?

Yes. Storage-in-transit bridges any gap between your Illinois move-out and Savannah move-in dates.

Will the same crew deliver that loaded in Illinois?

Yes. We use our own crews and dedicated trucks β€” never brokered loads or warehouse transfers midway.
