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.

How Snowbird Auto Transport Works

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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:

• 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.
