Summer may be winding down, but the auto transport season is just heating up. Whether you’re a snowbird getting ready to head south, a student moving back to college, or a family relocating after summer break, this is one of the busiest times of the year for car shipping — and planning ahead can save you time, money, and stress.

🌞 Why Late Summer Is Prime Car Shipping Season

As August turns to September, the demand for auto transport spikes:

• College Moves: Students heading back to campus often need their vehicles shipped across states.
• Snowbird Migration Prep: Retirees start booking transport to Florida, Texas, and Arizona before the winter rush.
• Relocations & Job Changes: Many families finish their summer relocations before the new school year.

This surge in demand means carriers fill up fast — but it also means more trucks are on the road, giving you more options and better chances to get a great rate.

💰 Beat the Seasonal Price Increases

Like airline tickets, auto transport rates rise when trucks get booked. The earlier you secure your spot, the more likely you are to:
✅ Get your preferred pickup window
✅ Avoid last-minute price jumps
✅ Choose between open and enclosed transport

Planning just a week or two in advance can make a big difference in price and availability.
