Seasonal Car Shipping
for Snowbirds & Seasonal Movers

October through early December is the peak pricing window for southbound routes (Northeast/Midwest to Florida, Arizona, the Carolinas). March through May is peak for northbound returns. During these windows, rates on snowbird corridors can run 15-25% above off-season pricing. Booking 2-3 weeks in advance is the single most effective way to manage peak-season costs.

For peak snowbird season (October-December southbound, March-May northbound), we recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead. During off-peak months, 7-10 days is usually sufficient. Recurring seasonal customers who book both legs at the start of the season get priority carrier matching and locked-in rates.

Yes. Many of our snowbird customers ship the same vehicle on the same route twice per year. We set up a recurring service profile with your vehicle details, route preferences, and carrier type. We reach out proactively each season to schedule your move and apply returning-customer pricing.

The highest-volume seasonal corridors are New York/New Jersey to South Florida, Boston/Connecticut to Southwest Florida, Chicago/Detroit to Arizona, and Minneapolis/Milwaukee to the Phoenix metro. These routes have the most carrier availability but also the most demand during peak weeks.

Yes, often significantly. Shipping northbound in the fall or southbound in the spring — against the dominant flow — can save 10-20% because carriers need vehicles to fill backhaul loads. If your timing has any flexibility, going against the grain is the easiest way to reduce your cost.

We work with vetted storage facilities on major snowbird corridors for customers who need their vehicle held before pickup or after delivery. This is common for seasonal residents whose travel dates don't perfectly align with their vehicle shipping window. Storage is arranged separately at market rates.
