Seasonal Car Shipping Made Simple and Hassle-Free
If you’re one of the many seasonal travelers, also known as snowbirds, who relocate to warmer destinations during the colder months, Auto Transport Professionals (ATP) has you covered. Our snowbird auto transport service makes moving your vehicle between seasonal homes easy, safe, and convenient. Whether you’re heading south for the winter or returning home for the summer, we’ll take care of your vehicle so you can enjoy your journey stress-free.

- Request a Free Quote
We make it easy to get started. Simply fill out our online form for a free, no-obligation quote. Provide details such as your vehicle type, pickup and destination locations, and preferred dates, and we’ll give you a competitive price for your seasonal auto transport.
- Flexible Scheduling
Snowbirds often need flexibility when scheduling their vehicle transport, and we understand that plans can change. At ATP, we offer flexible pickup and delivery windows to accommodate your travel schedule. Whether you need your vehicle moved at the start or end of the season, we’ll make it work.
- Pick Up & Delivery to Your Door
One of the most convenient aspects of our snowbird service is that we arrange for door-to-door auto transport. We coordinate everything so that your vehicle is picked up and delivered as close as possible to your home. However, due to restrictions on certain streets and weight-limited bridges, our trucks—most of which are about 75 feet long and carry a maximum weight of 80,000 pounds—must follow specific routes. Our team ensures your car is safely delivered to a nearby accessible location when needed.
Benefits of Snowbird Auto Transport with ATP
- Hassle-Free Seasonal Relocation: Let us handle the logistics of transporting your car, so you don’t have to worry about long drives between your seasonal homes.
- Avoid Winter Driving Conditions: Many snowbirds choose to avoid hazardous winter roads. With ATP, your vehicle is transported safely without you having to face icy highways or snowstorms.
- Save Time & Energy: Rather than spending days on the road, you can fly to your destination and have your car delivered shortly after, making your seasonal move more efficient.
- Experienced Drivers & Secure Transport: ATP partners with experienced and fully insured carriers to ensure your vehicle is in good hands during transit. All vehicles are carefully loaded and transported, whether on open or enclosed carriers, based on your preference.
Open vs. Enclosed Transport for Snowbirds
We offer both open carrier and enclosed carrier options, depending on your needs:
- Open Carrier Transport: This is the most cost-effective option for most snowbirds. Your vehicle will be loaded onto a carrier with multiple other vehicles and exposed to weather and road conditions, but it’s a safe and standard choice for regular cars.
- Enclosed Carrier Transport: If you have a luxury, classic, or high-end vehicle that you want to protect from weather or road debris, enclosed carriers provide that extra security. This is especially useful if you want peace of mind your car will arrive with the exact same cleanliness as when we picked it up.
Snowbird Destinations We Serve
We cater to popular snowbird routes across the United States. Whether you’re heading to Florida, Arizona, Texas, California, or any other warmer destination, our nationwide network ensures your vehicle gets there safely. In addition, we can arrange for vehicle transport back home when the seasons change.
Common Routes Include:
- Northeast to Florida: Avoid the hassle of driving long distances down Interstate 95.
- Midwest to Arizona, Texas or Florida: Winter around The Great Lakes is not comfortable, anyone in Florida knows how many Midwest plates appear during the winter.
- West Coast to Southern California: For snowbirds on the West Coast, heading to sunny Southern California is a popular seasonal move.
FAQs About Snowbird Auto Transport
Q: How far in advance should I book my snowbird auto transport?
A: It’s best to book as early as possible, especially during peak snowbird season (fall and spring). We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance to ensure availability.
Q: Is my car safe during transport?
A: Absolutely! We only use fully insured, professional drivers, and take every precaution to ensure your vehicle’s safety during transport. However, if you choose open carrier transport, remember that your car will be exposed to the elements. For added protection, consider enclosed transport.
Q: What happens if the truck can’t access my home?
A: Due to the size of our carriers and weight limits on certain roads, trucks may not be able to reach your doorstep. In such cases, we’ll arrange for a nearby pickup or drop-off point that’s accessible for the carrier and convenient for you.
Q: Can I ship personal items in my car during transport?
A: We advise against shipping personal belongings in your vehicle, as carriers are not responsible for items left inside. In addition, there are weight limits and regulations to comply with if you do decide to pack your vehicle.

Testimonials
Had a great experience with ATP. They were able to ship my bike in 2 days from Wisconsin to Virginia when other companies said it would take 20-28 days and they did it at a lower price. ATP was in constant communication with me via phone, email, and texting. I absolutely will use ATP for all future transportation needs. I highly recommend them.

FAQ
The time it takes to transport your vehicle varies based on several factors including total miles traveled. It can range from 1-2 days for short-haul transport and up to 7-10 days for cross-country transports. Once a truck has been assigned we will provide the actual pickup day and time along with an estimated delivery date. As we get closer to the day of delivery we will communicate the actual drop time window.
Yes, we can guarantee a specific pickup and/or delivery date. This guarantee will require additional fees to ensure the required dates are met. The majority of our transports are picked up and delivered in the window of time that our customers are willing to accept. However, keep in mind that picking up the vehicle does not necessarily mean it will be starting its journey that same day.
You may either pay a deposit before pickup by major credit card (3-4% processing fee depending on card type) and pay the remaining balance Cash On Delivery (COD) to the driver upon delivery or pay the full amount prior to delivery. Keep in mind if you are planning to pay COD, it must be done by cash, money order, or cashier’s check.
