As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. There is no seasonal direction adjustment for this route and month.
College Navigator Fall 2024 enrollment is 53,363 at Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus, 225 North Avenue, Atlanta; 34,944 at Georgia State University, 33 Gilmer Street, Atlanta; and 3,417 at Spelman College, 350 Spelman Lane SW, Atlanta. None of those figures is an out-of-state share. The driver needs the campus on the order. See Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and Spelman.
