The snowbird calendar

Two rushes a year — plan around them

Southbound — to Florida

Peak: October – November

The fall migration. Demand on the Northeast and Midwest lanes into Florida jumps 30–50% and rates rise 10–25%. Booking 3–4 weeks ahead with flexible dates beats the rush — and beats driving I-95 for two days.

Northbound — heading home

Peak: April – May

The spring return. Book your northbound trip before the Easter-to-Memorial-Day crunch. Ship both directions with us and we'll reach out ahead of the season so your return is already locked in.

FAQ

Snowbird questions

When should I book my snowbird car shipping?

Three to four weeks before your travel date is the sweet spot. Southbound demand surges from October through November and carrier space tightens; northbound the same happens April–May. Last-minute shipping is usually still possible, just pricier.

How much does snowbird car shipping cost?

Most Northeast and Midwest to Florida lanes run $600–$1,250 for a standard sedan on open transport, depending on distance, dates, and vehicle. Peak-season pricing (October–November southbound, April–May northbound) runs 10–25% above the shoulder months. Request a quote for your exact lane and dates.

Can you pick the car up after I've already flown down?

Yes. Many snowbirds fly and have a neighbor, family member, doorman, or property manager hand the keys to the carrier. Anyone you authorize can release or receive the vehicle — we coordinate directly with them.

Can I ship both directions with the same company?

Yes — most of our snowbird customers ship with us both ways. Same dispatcher, both directions; we'll reach out before the spring rush so your northbound trip is booked ahead of the April–May peak.

Can I pack personal items in the car?

Light personal items (up to about 100 lbs in the trunk) are generally tolerated by carriers, but they aren't covered by the carrier's cargo insurance and heavy loads can change the price. Tell us what you plan to pack and we'll set it up correctly.

“Hand down the best. I had been getting quotes from a plethora of companies that fell short. Either the carrier cancelled or other companies couldn’t find anyone. I called and spoke to Maik and explained what had taken place. As soon as I got off the phone I was matched with a carrier and the dispatcher name and information. The process was smooth and hassle free. I would definitely recommend them 100 times over. I found my forever carrier.”

“The man running the operation Maik was very communicative throughout the whole process and even when problems outside his control arose did his best to fix the situation and the delivery was made on time with the product exactly as how it left the warehouse. Maik has excellent communication and troubleshooting skills. Will work again with him for future deliveries.”
