Can I ship two cars at once?

Yes. Multi-vehicle bookings on this corridor get a per-car discount of $50-100, and we coordinate them on the same carrier when capacity allows.

How does pricing compare to driving it myself?

Driving 1,377 miles yourself runs roughly $400 in fuel plus 2-3 days of hotel and meals (~$400-600), plus the wear on your vehicle. Most snowbirds find $845 shipping is cheaper than the all-in cost of driving.

What to know about this corridor

Chicago to Miami is the southbound half of the snowbird migration corridor. Peak season runs October through December as winter residents head south — booking 2-4 weeks ahead in this window avoids price surges of 20-30%. Off-peak, this lane offers some of the most consistent carrier availability in the country with multiple daily dispatches. Both metros are door-deliverable for the vast majority of addresses. Chicago's grid handles full-size carriers comfortably; Miami-Dade and Broward similarly accept large transporters into most residential neighborhoods.
