Frequently asked questions
When should I book my snowbird shipment to Florida?
Book 2–4 weeks ahead if you're shipping between October and December. In summer or early fall, 3–7 days of lead time is usually enough.
How fast can a carrier pick up from Long Island or Westchester?
1–3 days outside peak season; 3–5 days during snowbird rush. Manhattan pickups usually meet you at a wide street or outer-borough parking lot.
Do you deliver inside The Villages or other Florida 55+ communities?
We deliver to the closest safe meeting point. Most 55+ communities don't allow full-size auto carriers through the gates, so the driver meets you at a nearby parking lot — usually within 5 minutes.
Can I include the return Florida-to-NY trip in one booking?
Yes. Snowbird round-trips booked together get a small discount and lock the return-date pricing now so it doesn't jump in the spring rush.
