When is the best time of year to ship my car (if I have a choice)?

If you have flexibility in when you ship your vehicle, timing can impact both cost and availability. Understanding seasonal trends can help you make the best decision.

Peak Season: Summer

Summer is typically the busiest season for auto transport, with higher demand and potentially higher prices. However, weather conditions are generally favorable during this time.

Shoulder Seasons: Spring and Fall

Spring and fall often offer a good balance of availability and pricing. Weather is still generally good, and demand is moderate.

Off-Peak: Winter

Winter can offer lower prices and better availability, but weather conditions may cause delays. Some routes may be more challenging during winter months.

Planning Ahead

Regardless of the season, booking in advance can help secure better rates and ensure availability. Contact us to discuss the best timing for your shipment.
