Augusta, GA → Savannah, GA · Short-haul move
About 125 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,990–$2,960, delivery in 1–2 days, 200 carriers on the Augusta side and 285 in Savannah.
Moving from Augusta to Savannah is a short-haul move of roughly 125 road miles, heading southeast within Georgia.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 51 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,990 and $2,960, before packing or storage.
On the Augusta side there are 200 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 of them authorized for interstate work), and 285 around Savannah (170 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Savannah.
Augusta has a population of about 201,999 and Savannah about 149,440. Savannah is the denser city (1,384 people per square mile versus 668 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 125 road miles (106 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 51 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
No. Because both Augusta and Savannah are in Georgia, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $280 to $390 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,130 to $1,660. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Augusta–Savannah corridor.
