Frequently asked questions

Have questions? Browse through the topics below to find what you need about Seasonal Car Relocation Services.

How Does Seasonal Car Relocation Work For Snowbirds?

Most providers specialize in transporting vehicles between northern and southern regions during late fall and early spring. Auto transport companies coordinate the pickup of your primary vehicle at your residence and deliver it directly to your seasonal home. This service allows travelers to fly to their destination while avoiding long-distance driving and winter road hazards.

What Are The Main Factors Affecting Seasonal Shipping Costs?

Price is primarily determined by distance, vehicle size, and seasonal demand. High-traffic routes between the Northeast and Florida often see price fluctuations during the peak migration months of October and April. Auto transport companies also factor in current fuel surcharges and the choice between open or enclosed trailers when providing quotes.

When Is The Best Time To Book Seasonal Vehicle Transport?

Most providers recommend scheduling service at least four to six weeks in advance of your travel date. Because seasonal routes are highly popular, carrier spots fill up quickly during the peak fall and spring months. Booking early helps ensure availability and allows for more flexible pickup windows during these busy periods.

How Long Does It Take To Ship A Car To A Winter Home?

Transit times depend on the total mileage and current weather conditions along the route. For common routes like New York to Florida, delivery typically takes three to five days. Cross-country relocations, such as moves from the Midwest to Arizona, may take seven to ten days for the carrier to complete.

How Should A Car Be Prepared For Seasonal Transport?

Owners must wash the vehicle to allow for an accurate condition inspection before loading. The fuel tank should be approximately one-quarter full to minimize weight while remaining functional for the driver. Removing all personal items and securing loose exterior parts like bike racks ensures the vehicle is ready for highway transport.

Can Personal Belongings Be Left In The Car During Shipping?

Most providers prohibit the transport of household goods or personal items inside the vehicle. Federal regulations typically limit carriers to transporting the vehicle only. Items left inside are not covered by the carrier's insurance and add extra weight that can lead to fines at highway weigh stations.

What Insurance Coverage Is Provided For Seasonal Car Relocation?

Auto transport companies carry cargo insurance to protect your vehicle against physical damage during transit. This coverage typically includes incidents like accidents or equipment failure while the car is on the trailer. Owners should verify the specific coverage limits and document the vehicle's pre-existing condition with photos before the pickup.

Is Open Or Enclosed Transport Better For Seasonal Moves?

Open transport is the standard, cost-effective choice for daily drivers and is highly reliable. Enclosed trailers provide extra protection from road salt, debris, and winter weather, making them suitable for luxury or classic cars. Most providers offer both options based on the owner's budget and the level of protection required.

Does Seasonal Car Relocation Include Door-To-Door Service?

Most providers offer door-to-door delivery where the driver picks up and drops off the vehicle as close to your home as safety allows. If residential streets are too narrow for large trailers, carriers coordinate a nearby meeting point, such as a shopping center. This service eliminates the need for owners to visit shipping terminals.

How Do Carriers Handle Vehicle Inspections For Seasonal Moves?

Drivers conduct a thorough walk-around inspection at both pickup and delivery to record any existing scratches or dents. This information is documented on the bill of lading, which serves as the official record of the vehicle's condition. Both the owner and the driver must sign this document to verify the inspection results.
