You cannot drive a salvage title car in Georgia; you’ll need a rebuilt title.

Salvage title cars are not legal for road use, and they cannot be insured. Once you have performed the required repair work, you must apply for a rebuilt title. Only then will you be able to drive this vehicle on public roads.

When you’re ready to insure a car with a salvage title, make sure you compare quotes to get the best possible price for car insurance. Car insurance for a salvaged car with a rebuilt title can be difficult to obtain, but you need it to legally drive in Georgia.
