Why You Should Choose Shipping Over Driving
Seasonal moves often require traveling long distances on a fixed schedule, sometimes in challenging weather conditions. While driving your own vehicle may appear convenient, it can create added stress during an already busy relocation. Long road trips can lead to driver fatigue, increased vehicle wear, and higher safety risks. Our snowbird or seasonal car shipping option provides a reliable solution by reducing travel strain, protecting your vehicle from unnecessary mileage, and allowing you to focus on reaching your destination safely and efficiently.
Benefits of the Snowbird Shipping

Avoid long, exhausting drives: Multi-day drives require constant focus, overnight stops, and extended time on the road. Shipping your vehicle allows you to travel comfortably while our professional carriers handle the distance for you.
Protect your vehicle: Long trips increase mileage and expose your car to road debris, harsh weather, and changing road conditions. Snowbird auto transport helps preserve your vehicle’s condition by limiting unnecessary exposure.
Save time and arrive refreshed: Driving cross-country can take days and disrupt your travel plans. Shipping your car lets you reach your destination sooner and with more energy to settle in.
Reduce the risk of accidents and road fatigue: Extended driving increases fatigue and safety risks, especially on unfamiliar routes. Licensed transport drivers are trained to manage long hauls safely and efficiently.

Seasonal Pricing & Factors for Snowbird Car Shipping
Shipping your vehicle for the winter can feel complicated—but knowing what affects the cost and planning ahead can save both stress and money. Here’s a breakdown of what snowbirds need to know.
What Affects Your Snowbird Shipping Cost:
Distance & Mileage: Longer trips naturally cost more. For example, shipping from Boston, MA to Miami, FL (≈1,400 miles) typically ranges $900–$1,400 for standard open transport.
Route Complexity: Mountain passes, narrow roads, or congested city routes may increase the rate slightly. Most major highways are straightforward, but planning for traffic or seasonal closures is important.
Pickup & Delivery Flexibility: Being flexible with pickup or delivery dates allows carriers to consolidate loads, often lowering your cost. Tight or exact appointment windows may add $50–$150.
Carrier Demand & Seasonal Peaks: Winter sees a high influx of southbound vehicles, particularly in December and January. During peak weeks, expect prices to rise 10–20% compared to off-peak periods.
Typical Seasonal Patterns:
Southbound Winter Peak (Nov–Feb): Snowbirds heading to warmer climates drive up demand, leading to slightly higher rates and limited availability. Booking early is crucial.
Northbound Spring Surge (Mar–May): Vehicles returning north see similar demand spikes, which can affect scheduling and cost if left until the last minute.
Distance-Based Rates: Quotes reflect exact mileage and route complexity, so you know what you’re paying for.
Transit Times: Most southbound shipments take 3–7 days depending on origin, destination, and trailer type.
Peak Load Adjustments: Seasonal surges may include a small peak-season fee, clearly communicated upfront—no hidden surprises.
