Shipping your car south for the winter
Pennsylvania is one of the largest sources of Florida snowbirds. From October, carrier demand heading south rises every week and peaks before the holidays. Booking a few weeks ahead and allowing a two-to-three-day pickup window usually gets you the best rate.
Coming back in spring? Tell us your return date too, and we can plan the northbound leg before the busy March–May season.
Open or enclosed transport?
Open transport is the most affordable option for everyday cars, SUVs and pickups. Learn more about open car transport.
Enclosed transport keeps your car away from winter road salt, weather and debris, and suits luxury, classic and low-clearance vehicles. Learn more about enclosed auto transport.
Pickup across Pennsylvania
We arrange pickups in Philadelphia and its suburbs, the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Erie and the Pittsburgh area. In older city neighborhoods with narrow streets, the carrier may meet you at a nearby open lot. Delivering to a gated community or condo in Florida?
