Why Timing Matters On This Route

The corridor from the Northeast down I-95 to Florida is the busiest seasonal car-shipping route in the country, and it moves in two predictable waves every year: south in the fall as snowbirds head to their winter homes, and north again in the spring when they head back. Demand on this route typically climbs 30 to 50 percent during October and November, and again during April and May, and pricing tends to move up with it during those peak windows.

Book EarlyCarrier space on this route fills up fast heading into peak season. Booking a few weeks ahead gets you better pricing and more flexibility on pickup dates.
Stay FlexibleA flexible pickup window, rather than one fixed date, makes it easier for us to match you with a carrier already running your exact route.
Book Both LegsLocking in your fall and spring shipment together means one point of contact for the whole season and one less thing to plan twice.

Snowbird Shipping FAQ

When should I book my fall shipment south?

Aim to book 3 to 4 weeks before you want your car picked up. October and November are the busiest weeks of the year on this route, so earlier booking means more carrier options and steadier pricing.

Should I book my spring return trip at the same time?

You can. Locking in both legs up front means you deal with one company for the season instead of shopping twice, and you already have your spring pickup penciled in before the northbound rush in April and May.

Open or enclosed transport for a seasonal move?

Most snowbirds ship open carrier, it is the standard, cost-effective option and what most of the fleet on this corridor runs. If your vehicle is a classic, exotic, or you just want extra weather protection for the trip, enclosed is available too.

How long does the trip take?

The Northeast to Florida run typically takes a few days door to door, depending on exact pickup and delivery points and carrier routing. We will give you a specific window once your shipment is scheduled.

Is my car insured the whole way?

Yes. Every vehicle we move is covered under active cargo insurance from pickup to delivery.
