Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Snowbird Auto Transport

What is snowbird car shipping?

Snowbird car shipping is a seasonal vehicle transport service designed for people who move between northern and southern homes during the winter months. Many snowbirds or seasonal travelers choose to travel by plane or some other means and have their vehicle delivered by a professional service, like AutoTransport.com

It’s best to schedule snowbird vehicle transport two to four weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. The busiest times are October through December for southbound shipments and March through May for northbound returns. However, at AutoTransport.com we absolutely take last minute transports. We never leave a client without a way to get their vehicle home!

The cost of snowbird vehicle transport depends on several factors including distance, vehicle size, transport type, and seasonal demand. Longer routes and peak snowbird seasons can affect pricing, but most shipments are quoted based on mileage and current carrier availability. Another thing to note in todays economy is the fluctuation of fuel prices. This also affects pricing. When you speak with an AutoTransport.com specialist, we’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation quote. No hidden fees! 

Yes. Snowbirds shipping luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles often choose enclosed auto transport for added protection during the trip. It’s important to note that enclosed transport costs more than standard car trailer transport.

Transit time depends on the distance and route. For example:

  • Northeast to Florida: 2–4 days (average)
  • Midwest to Arizona: 3–5 days (average)
  • Canada to Florida: 4–7 days (average)

However, other factors to consider are weather delays and road construction along the route. Scheduling ahead of time ensures your vehicle is delivered when you need it.
