The cost estimate to move a snowbird car varies based on various factors. There is no exact estimate available for seasonal auto shipping. A general estimate is around $600 to $1200+ for snowbird car transport.

Distance

The route and mileage between pickup and drop-off greatly influence the overall cost estimate. For shorter distances, i.e.,<500 miles, the average per-mile cost can be $1 per mile, whereas for longer hauls >1000 miles, the per-mile cost can be $0.60 per mile. The type of route is also crucial; for example, in urban areas, toll charges or restricted hours may apply, adding to the cost. Whereas in remote routes, manoeuvrability and driving abilities are the challenge.

Make & Model of the Car

The size, dimensions, and condition of the car influence the cost because they determine the type of carrier, permits, loading gear, and additional requirements for safe snowbird auto shipping.

Type of Service

Whether you opt for an open-air or an enclosed container, or choose an express service, each one has a different range of costs. Open trailers are a common choice for bulk shipping or standard car shipping, whereas enclosed containers are preferred for luxury and classic cars. It is better to book in advance to avoid delays or added charges due to urgent shipping.

Season

The demanded season for snowbird auto shipping is winter; therefore, prices increase during that time.

Operational Condition

If the car is not working and cannot be self-propelled onto the trailer, then loading equipment such as cranes or forklifts becomes essential. In such cases, the prices add up to the overall cost.

Legal requirements, such as overweight or oversize permits or licenses, are included in the cost. Additionally, insurance coverage also affects the overall estimate.

Snowbird Auto Shipping Methods of Transport

Open Air Snowbird Auto Transport

We provide cost-effective and affordable shipping solutions to our snowbirds for their automobile relocation needs. Therefore, open-air trailers are the best choice to save time and money. It can accommodate up to 8 to 10 cars and is readily available for use. Open carriers are generally suitable for standard vehicles or older cars, particularly those with regular usage and moderate wear & tear.

Enclosed Snowbird Auto Transport

If your car is new or expensive, a closed carrier is a suitable option. It protects against dust, debris, or external damage caused by weather conditions. However, it is costlier than the open air and takes longer to haul cars across states.

Expedited Snowbird Auto Transport

We recommend booking early to save time and receive your car on the required date. However, if you miss the deadline, our urgent shipping service ensures that your vehicle reaches the destination promptly when you need it.

Snowbird Self-Driven Transport

Some people prefer to self-drive their cars, but this can lead to exhaustion, increased fuel expenditure, higher meal costs, and general wear and tear on their vehicles. Therefore, we are available to make your seasonal relocation hassle-free. We have the means to make your car journey easy and seamless.

Types of Carriers Used for Snowbird Vehicle Transport

There is a range of carriers available that transport your cars in various modes, including open and enclosed. We use double-decker carriers most commonly for open transport & sealed containers for closed air transport. All forms of carriers for auto shipping are equipped with in-built ramps, a hydraulic system to adjust deck height, and a GPS tracking feature for the safety of the load.

Double Decker Trailer.

Open transport trailers can accommodate up to six to ten cars, with loading available on both top and bottom decks. It can be pulled by class 8 trucks. It can accommodate vehicles with a height of up to 6 ft on its upper deck.

Enclosed Containers

When transporting a classic or delicate car, sealed containers are selected. Such carriers offer a compact option compared to open trailers, featuring a weather-resistant interior, resilient flooring, and customisation. In some cases, box trucks are also used to ship a car; they also offer protection to your snowbird automobiles while en route. However, they are comparatively smaller than containers, and the choice depends upon the dimensions of the vehicle.

Why choose Snowbird Auto Transport over driving it yourself?

It might seem convenient and cheaper to drive your car to the next faraway destination yourself; however, it can be troublesome and even more costly because self-driving means fuel expenditure for the entire journey. Meals and stays become necessary when driving on long routes. In addition to that toll tax, a considerable increase in car mileage is also expected. Your car is subject to the risk of damage or wear and tear when travelling for a long distance. Therefore, it is best to hire an auto transport service for your relocation needs. “AllState to State” provides comprehensive services to ensure your move is seamless and hassle-free.

Ideal Time to Book Snowbird Shipping With Us

The peak time to book a snowbird auto shipping is between November to December and April to June. Booking early, nearly two or three weeks before the shipping date, during high-demand season, helps save money and reduce extra charges that would otherwise be applicable due to expedited shipping. It offers greater scheduling flexibility and is less stressful. Therefore, we recommend booking 2 to 3 weeks in advance.

When Door-to-Door Delivery is not an Accessible Option

Our services are customer-centred, therefore we offer door-to-door delivery for the ease and comfort of our clients. However, in some cases, it is not possible to reach your doorstep due to several factors, such as narrow spaces, height limitations, gated communities, or additional obstacles. In such cases, we drop off the snowbird automobile as close to their location as possible, such as a parking area or any other convenient and accessible place for them.
