Frequently asked questions

  • When is the best time to ship from Florida to New York?

    April through mid-May is peak snowbird season — book 2–3 weeks ahead to lock pricing. Off-season (summer, fall) is cheaper and dispatches in 1–2 days.

  • How fast can I get my car picked up in Florida?

    On high-volume metros (Miami, Tampa, Orlando) we routinely dispatch in 24–48 hours. The Villages and rural FL may take 2–4 days because carriers wait to fill the rig.

  • Do you deliver into Manhattan or all 5 boroughs?

    Yes, all 5 boroughs. Manhattan deliveries usually meet at a parking lot in NJ or the outer boroughs because full-size carriers can't navigate Manhattan streets — your driver will text you the meet location.

  • Can my snowbird vehicle ship with personal items inside?

    Carriers can legally allow up to 100 lbs in the trunk on open transport. Most snowbirds ship clothes, beach gear, or light household items within that limit.
