The service
How seasonal shipping works
Each fall, thousands of vehicles head from the Northeast and Midwest to warm-weather states, and each spring they come back. Carriers build their schedules around that flow.
Because so many people move in the same weeks, trucks fill quickly and prices rise at the peak of each season. Booking a few weeks ahead gives you the best choice of dates.
We deliver to your seasonal home, a community gate, or a nearby lot if the neighborhood does not allow large trucks.
Good fit
Why snowbirds ship instead of drive
- No 1,000-mile-plus drive twice a year
- No hotel nights, fuel stops or highway fatigue
- No extra mileage or wear on the vehicle
- Your own car at your winter home, not a rental
What to expect
Planning your seasonal move
Book early
October to December southbound and March to May northbound are the busy months.
Stay flexible
A pickup window of several days helps us find a truck at a better rate.
Arrange both ends
If you are flying, a neighbor, family member or property manager can release or receive the car.
FAQ
Questions about snowbird car shipping
When should I book my snowbird shipment?
Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in peak season. Earlier is better around the holidays.
Can you ship my car while I fly?
Yes. Leave the keys with someone you trust at pickup, and we can time delivery for after you land.
Can I leave things in the trunk?
Carriers are not licensed to move household goods and their insurance does not cover personal items. Ship the vehicle empty.
