Snowbird Season is upon us…
What is Snowbird season and what is a Snowbird?
Basically the term “Snowbird” has been given to those folks that choose to head south for the winter. Typically they are retired and will temporarily move from the New England area or Chicago area down to Texas, Arizona and primarily Florida.
When does the season start? It usually starts in late October and then the snowbirds will head back in April-May.
What this means for the car transport business is:
- Because of the drastic increase in cars needing to be moved (typically the demand increases by about 10,000 cars per day!) the price to move a car South will rise $100-$200.
- The average time to get a car picked up increases about 2-3 days.
- Prices for cars heading North will be drastically decreased. Right now on average a car can be transported from Florida to New York for about $500! While heading south is creeping up on $650-$700.
So what should you do? Book your car transport today so that you don’t have to worry about it any longer. If you are looking to purchase a car and you live in the New England area I would recommend looking at sellers in Florida to save some cash on shipping.
Also, if you are a snowbird you can book your round trip car transport with us and we will give you a discounted rate for the entire move.
