Read what snowbirds have to say about their premium enclosed car transport experiences with Passport Transport.
Snowbird car shipping is a specialized auto transport service designed for individuals, often called “snowbirds,” who seasonally migrate between their primary residence and a warmer winter location. Typically, this involves transporting their vehicles to southern states like Florida or other sunbelt destinations for the winter months and then shipping them back home again in the spring. This service helps snowbirds avoid the time, expense, wear and tear, and hassle of driving long distances themselves.
Snowbird auto transport is a seasonal service that helps travelers—often retirees—ship their vehicles between northern and southern locations to avoid harsh winters and enjoy warmer climates.

A little prep goes a long way toward a smooth vehicle shipment. Focus on these four key steps:
Wash your car and take photos of its current condition, inside and out, to document any existing damage.
Top off essential fluids and ensure tires are properly inflated. Leave about a quarter tank of gas to avoid extra weight.
Clear out valuables and loose items. Remove or secure antennas, roof racks, and custom add-ons.
Make sure the battery is charged, alarms are off, and any known mechanical issues are addressed before pick-up.
We recommend booking your snowbird car transport at least 30 days in advance, especially during peak season. Similar to airline tickets, booking earlier often secures you a better rate. The closer you get to your desired transport dates, particularly during high-demand periods, the more likely prices are to increase.
Popular snowbird destinations like Florida and Arizona drive the most common transport routes. Many snowbirds shipping their vehicles are traveling to and from these states. A frequently used route originates in the New England states, travels down through New York, and ultimately ends in Florida, often via I-95. Other common routes include:
While your presence isn’t strictly required, it’s highly recommended that someone of legal age be present at both the pickup and delivery locations. This allows for a joint inspection of the vehicle and accurate documentation of its condition on the Bill of Lading (BOL).
