Thomson is a city in as well as the county seat of McDuffie County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is currently home to a population of over 6,770 residents and is a part of the Augusta, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical area, one of the largest by population in all of Georgia. The city was founded as Slashes in 1837 and was a small stop along the Georgia Railroad at the time. As Augusta grew in size and prominence, Thomson did as well, albeit much more slowly. Located about 20-25 miles west of Augusta proper, the city is a bit outside of the main metro area but auto transport to Thomson should still be about as hard to find as services to Augusta due to its proximity.

Auto Transport to Thomson Tips and Tricks
How close a particular town or city is to a major city or metro area is a major factor in determining how much it will cost to ship a vehicle there and how long it will take. When you’re on the hunt for auto transport to Thomson, prices will usually take into account at the route that a carrier will have to follow and how close it is to a popular transportation location. While Augusta is not as large as Atlanta, it still sees plenty of auto transportation traffic, which usually results in more competitive prices as carriers can easily make money by moving vehicles to or from such a large metro area.
Part of the reason why is because of I-20, a major east-west interstate that services the entire Augusta metro area, along with other major cities in the American South. Car shippers like to run routes along major interstates through major cities because not only does it allow them to keep close to major population centers, and thus provide their services to more potential customers, but it’s also a lot more cost effective for them to stick to major routes through major cities as they don’t waste gas on inefficient roads or routes. Though Thomson doesn’t sit along I-20 directly, it’s only a mile or two south with a major connection to the interstate, which means carriers aren’t going to be upset if they have to take a quick detour into Thomson to help a customer.
