How long does snowbird auto transport take?

Several factors can affect the transit times of vehicle transportation, with distance being the most obvious. For example, transporting a car from Boston to San Diego will invariably take longer than from Boston to New York. Additionally, if your pick-up or delivery locations are off the beaten path, this will necessitate extra mileage for the driver. It’s also important to remember that your vehicle is likely sharing its journey with others, necessitating multiple stops for the driver before reaching your destination.

Weather conditions can also play a significant role in affecting transportation speed. Adverse weather such as snow, ice, hail, thunderstorms, tornadoes, or hurricanes can severely disrupt traffic flow. Furthermore, road construction, detours, and traffic congestion can further delay the carrier’s progress.

Another crucial aspect to consider is the driver’s legally allowed driving hours. Regulated by the Department of Transportation, drivers are currently limited to a maximum of 70 hours on the road per week. This regulation ensures that drivers get adequate rest, upholding safe driving standards throughout the journey.

Snowbird Auto Shipping - Frequently Asked Questions

Discover comprehensive insights into our dependable auto transport services. Gain a deep understanding of our exceptional solutions and how they cater to your specific needs.

What is Snowbird car shipping?

Snowbird car shipping offers a tailored auto transport service for those who seek warmer climates in the winter and return in the spring. This service not only saves time and money but also reduces the wear and tear on your vehicle from long-distance driving. Safe Car Hauling provides a flawless experience, ensuring the safe transport of your vehicle to your winter haven and back home again.

How far in advance should I book snowbird transport?

Ideally, you should book over 30 days in advance. Similar to an airplane ticket, booking auto transport earlier typically results in lower costs.

Should I be present at snowbird pick-up and delivery?

Although your personal presence isn't required, it is advisable to have an adult available at both the pickup and delivery locations. The vehicle will undergo an inspection, and its condition at the time will be documented on the Bill of Lading (BOL).

How long does snowbird car shipping take?

Delivery Time Estimate Guide:

- 100-500 miles: 1-2 days

- 500-1000 miles: 2-3 days

- 1000-1500 miles: 3-4 days

- 1500-2000 miles: 4-5 days

- 2000-2500 miles: 5-6 days

- 2500-3000+ miles: 7-9 days

 

Delivery times may vary based on distance, weather conditions, and urban density. While coast-to-coast journeys are generally estimated to take 8-9 days, it's common for vehicles to arrive earlier.

What are the most common snowbird routes?

The primary routes for snowbirds usually involve transport to or from Florida or Arizona, the top destinations for these seasonal travelers. The favored path for auto transport among snowbirds stretches from the New England states through New York, culminating in Florida along I-95. Other popular journeys include traveling from Seattle, WA, through California to Arizona via I-5, and another popular route extends from Chicago to either Texas or Florida.

Can I ship non-running snowbird vehicles?

Yes, many auto transport companies offer door-to-door shipping for non-running or inoperable vehicles. However, additional fees may apply due to the special equipment and handling required to load and transport such vehicles. Be sure to inform the carrier about the condition of your vehicle when requesting a quote.

Is my snowbird car going to be fully-insured?

If your vehicle is being transported solely by land, the motor carrier responsible for its shipment offers a policy coverage of up to $100,000. However, for shipments to destinations like Hawaii that necessitate ocean transit, the insurance terms of the oceanic transporter will apply to your vehicle.

Can I Ship My Vehicle If It Does Not Run?

Absolutely, Safe Car Hauling can accommodate non-operational vehicle shipping. It's crucial, however, to inform us about this during the booking process. This allows the carrier to come prepared with the necessary equipment to load your car onto the trailer. 

Failing to notify us beforehand might hinder the loading process. The carrier may have to reschedule the transport, incurring additional fees. So, let us know upfront to ensure a smooth and cost-effective service.
