Snowbird car shipping: drive my car to Florida, and fly home
For snowbirds, SelectDrive drives your car south in the fall and back north in the spring while you fly in comfort. Dan picks up your vehicle at home, drives it to Florida, Arizona, Texas, or wherever you winter, and delivers it to your door. You skip the two-day drive and your car is waiting when you land.
How snowbird car delivery works
You fly to your winter home. Dan drives your car there. In the spring, he brings it back. Each leg is a normal driveaway: Dan flies to your car, inspects and photographs it, drives it door to door, and sends live GPS the whole way. You never have to make the long seasonal drive again.
Why driveaway fits snowbirds perfectly
- One trusted driver handles your car, not a rotating load-board carrier
- Bring packed belongings that fit below window level, and a pet that travels well, in the same trip
- Live GPS and daily check-ins so family can follow along
- Book ahead of the rush: demand peaks in October and November heading south, March and April heading north
- A solo driver's rate does not spike in season the way trailer carrier rates often do
