Direct Express Auto Transport Says Snowbirds Begin Their Annual Migration Home
There they go again. It's March and the "snowbirds" begin their annual migration north, except that these "snowbirds" aren't just people... it's their vehicles too. Every spring like clockwork, tens of thousands of retirees choose to use an auto transport service to ship their cars home while they board an airplane. Is that smart? Direct Express Auto Transport says that for most people it is, and explains why.
The first thing to consider, is what would it cost to ship it versus drive it? A recent survey of several popular and reliable auto shipping companies revealed that an average shipping cost from Palm Beach, Florida to Chicago, Illinois is approximately $700 door to door, which is the most customer friendly way to transport a vehicle. That's because terminals are where cars go on vacation. But if the car is on an auto transport truck, then that means the customer is probably flying home and according to Expedia.com, that will cost another $400 each person, or $800 per couple to someplace like Chicago. The real cost then to ship a car is about $1500.
