About this service
Seasonal & Snowbird with ExecuShip
Snowbird lanes between the Midwest, the Northeast and the Sun Belt are the busiest seasonal traffic in auto transport. Southbound demand peaks from October through December and northbound from March through May, and prices on those lanes rise as carrier capacity tightens. We book both legs at the same time so your return trip is already in the system, and we recommend reserving three to four weeks ahead of either peak.

Pricing
The estimator prices your exact ZIP pair with a per-mile rate that steps down on longer runs, plus a $195 base and any vehicle-class adjustment. Estimates reflect open-carrier, door-to-door service. Enclosed transport adds a flat $500. Final rate confirmed before dispatch. Or call (855) 500-7447 and an advisor prices it on the line.
How it works
Five Steps, One Advisor
From rate to delivery with the same transportation advisor on your file. Your card is not touched until a carrier has been assigned.
I
Get your rate
Enter two ZIP codes and your vehicle class. The estimator prices the real road distance and shows open and enclosed figures on screen.
II
Book
A transportation advisor confirms the details and your preferred pickup window. Nothing is charged yet.
III
Dispatch
We assign your vehicle to a vetted carrier with verified cargo coverage and send you the driver's details.
IV
Pickup
You get a call the day before. At pickup the driver walks the vehicle with you and notes its condition on the Bill of Lading, which you both sign.
V
Delivery
A second call comes before arrival. You compare the vehicle against the pickup report, sign off, and settle the balance with the driver.
Coverage
Available in Every State
We arrange seasonal & snowbird to and from all 50 states.

Seasonal & Snowbird Questions
How early should a seasonal move be booked?
Three to four weeks before you want the car picked up. Inside two weeks in October or April you are competing with every other seasonal shipper on the same lane.
Can you deliver inside a gated community?
Usually the driver meets you just outside the gate, because most communities restrict 80-foot carriers. The driver coordinates it with you by phone.
