Fly south. We'll ship your car.
Driving 1,200 miles every October and again every April adds wear, miles, and two days of road you don't need. We ship your car to Florida or Arizona while you take the flight — and bring it back north when winter's over.
Your car arrives at your winter home before you do — ready to go when you land.

The smarter way to do the annual migration
Driving it yourself means two long days each way, highway miles stacking up, and arriving exhausted. We've moved enough snowbird cars to know — most people who try it once never drive south again.
Top routes covered
Midwest and Northeast to Florida, Arizona, Texas — every major snowbird corridor
Both directions
South in October, north in April. Book both legs in one call and lock in your rates.
Save on fuel & hotels
Two days of driving, fuel, meals, and a hotel. Shipping often costs less — and protects your mileage.
Door-to-door coverage
Every carrier on our network is licensed, bonded, and insured for the full value of your vehicle.
Why snowbirds ship instead of drive
I-75 in October is a parking lot of Midwesterners all with the same idea. After you factor in fuel, food, two nights in a hotel, and the wear on a car that spends half its life in Florida humidity — shipping starts looking pretty reasonable. Here's how it works.
Book in September — before the rush
October and November slots fill up fast. The earlier you book, the better your pickup window and pricing. We recommend booking your southbound trip in late September at the latest.
We pick up at your northern home
A carrier comes to your driveway. You hand over the keys, we load the vehicle, and you go catch your flight. No terminal drop-offs, no shuttles, no rearranging your travel.
Your car arrives at your winter address
Delivery is door-to-door. Your car meets you at your Florida or Arizona home — usually within 7 to 10 days, depending on the route and pickup timing.
Book the spring return while you're at it
Most of our snowbird customers book both legs in one call. Locking in your April return trip in the fall saves you from scrambling in March when everyone else is trying to head north.
Door-to-door delivery to your Florida or Arizona winter home — arrive by plane, car's already there.
