Cost of Seasonal Auto Relocation Services
Depending on the time of year, the seasonal auto relocation services can fluctuate in costs increasing or decreasing anywhere from $100 to $200 from the regular quote. For instance, transport from Michigan to Florida (1350 miles) typically costs $800 and takes 4-6 days when there’s no backlog, no seasonal extremities, or high/low demand for car transport services. However, when there are seasonal extremities, the costs and timelines can look like these:
Season | Estimated Cost | Estimated Delivery Time | Reasons |
---|---|---|---|
January | $900 - $999 | 10-14 days | Backlog of trucks waiting to be shipped shortage due to truck drivers and carriers taking time off during the holidays. |
February and March | $650 - $750 | 4-6 days | Slow season with fewer cars being shipped. |
April and May | $750 - $950 | 6-10 days | Demand increases due to snowbirds returning north, making shipping to warmer states more affordable but shipping out of them more expensive. |
June, July, and August | $900 - $999 | 8-10 days | Peak season with increased demand. The Fourth of July can cause a temporary backlog and longer shipment wait times. |
September, October, and November | $600 - $750 | 3-5 days | Compared to summer, there is lower demand and better service due to the warm weather, with fewer transport shipments. |
December | $850 - $950 | 8-10 days | Increased orders with carriers taking time off. The last ten days of December and the first ten days of January are particularly stressful for the auto transport industry. |
