Why Snowbirds Trust Bigfella Auto Express for Stress-Free Seasonal Car Shipping
Every year, millions of snowbirds pack up and head south for the winter—trading snow shovels for sunshine, icy driveways for palm trees, and long winters for warm beaches. And while planning your seasonal move can be exciting, one part of the process doesn’t have to be stressful at all: getting your car to your winter home safely, affordably, and on time.
That’s where Bigfella Auto Express steps in.
As snowbird season grows year after year, reliable vehicle transport has become one of the most in-demand services from northern states such as New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania down to Florida, Texas, Arizona, and the Carolinas. Whether you're escaping the Midwest freeze or leaving the Northeast cold behind, transporting your vehicle is often the smartest decision you can make.
Why Snowbirds Ship Their Vehicles Instead of Driving
Driving 1,200–1,800 miles to your winter home may seem adventurous—but for many snowbirds, it’s a hassle, a risk, and an unnecessary cost. Shipping your vehicle provides:
1. Safety & Peace of Mind
Long-distance winter driving means:
-
Icy highways
-
Hazardous storms
-
Black ice
-
Increased accident risk
Professionally transporting your car removes those dangers completely.
2. Saves Time & Energy
Most snowbird routes take 20–35 hours of driving, not including hotel stops, fuel breaks, and traffic. Shipping your vehicle allows you to fly comfortably and arrive refreshed.
3. Prevents Wear & Tear
A single snowbird round trip can add 3,000–4,000 miles to your odometer. That means:
-
Extra maintenance
-
Tire wear
-
Depreciation
-
Oil changes
-
Possible repairs
Shipping protects your vehicle’s value long-term.
4. Better for Luxury Vehicles & Second Cars
Many snowbirds bring:
-
Luxury sedans
-
SUVs
-
Convertibles
-
Seasonal vehicles
-
Golf carts
Transporting them protects the vehicle from unnecessary exposure and ensures it’s waiting for you on arrival.
