Seasonal shipping, made routine
Every fall, carriers fill up with vehicles heading from the Northeast and Midwest to Florida, Arizona, Texas and the Carolinas. Every spring the flow reverses. These are some of the busiest lanes in the country.
Shipping saves days behind the wheel, hotel stops and wear on your vehicle. You travel the way you prefer and the car arrives at your door.
Because so many people move at the same time, trucks book up in the peak weeks. Reserving early gets you better dates.
A good fit when
- You split the year between two homes
- You would rather fly than drive for days
- You want your own car, not a long-term rental
- You are shipping a second vehicle or a golf cart
Planning your seasonal move
Book ahead
Reserve a few weeks before you travel, especially for fall trips south and spring trips north.
Pick your dates
Choose a pickup window that lines up with your flight.
Hand off or delegate
A neighbor, family member or building manager can release or receive the car for you.
Book the return
Set up the trip home at the same time so both ends are covered.
Snowbird Transport questions
When should I book my snowbird shipment?
As early as your plans are firm. Southbound demand peaks in the fall and northbound demand peaks in the spring, and the best pickup dates go first.
Can I leave things in the car?
Carriers are licensed to haul vehicles, not household goods, and their insurance does not cover personal items. Check with us before packing anything, keep it light and below the window line, and never leave valuables.
What if I am not there when the car arrives?
Name someone you trust to receive it. We will give the driver their contact details.
