As we continue to track the Snowbirds mid January 2025 car transport costs to Naples, FL and elsewhere in the sunshine state, we notice that the volume of orders on any given day has decreased 10%.
In the beginning of January, there were on average daily about five thousand single vehicles in running condition listed as preferring OPEN Car Transport. That number has decreased in mid January to 4,500 vehicles available at any given time. Still a hefty amount.
That is not to say there are 4,500 new orders every day. There most certainly is not. Many of those vehicles have been waiting for a carrier for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Why so long?
In some cases the laggard orders are those located in a remote location, or have been affected by harsh winter storms such as Blair. But most of the orders waiting weeks and weeks, have simply been under-priced and carriers have rejected them in favor of higher paying fees on other vehicles.
Rule #1 – the highest paying vehicles on the board, comparing apples to apples, always ship first. And it does not matter how long a vehicle order has been waiting.
A fresh car shipping order entered today, paying a higher carrier fee than one entered weeks ago, will land a spot on an auto transport trailer first. The vehicle shipping industry is not first come – first served.
Our Study: What percentage of Snowbird vehicle shipments are too cheap?
Our answer is borne of experience. It is not scientific, though it does have a nice scientific pool of orders to evaluate.
Here is our test case scenario: At the present time, car shipping from New Jersey to Florida, there are 99 vehicles on the board waiting for a carrier assignment, all sedans, in running condition, and shipping OPEN car transport. In our opinion, in general, a vehicle priced at $825 or less (including broker fee) has little chance of securing a spot on a trailer until all the higher paying vehicles have shipped. And that will take awhile.
Here’s our analysis of the New Jersey to Florida scenario in mid January 2025:

The same percentages of under priced and cheap car shipping costs play out in nearly every market or region.
The above table is probably a good representation of the current Snowbird vehicle shipping cost market to Florida. As you can see, there are approximately 28% of customer orders that have little to no chance of shipping to Florida in the next few weeks. Many have been waiting for weeks, and are likely to continue to do so.
If you add the 14% of customers who are close, but nevertheless, still getting soundly beat and simply hoping to get lucky, that 28% swells to 42% of customers who are basically on the outside looking in. Their car shipping price is too cheap.
Why does that happen? Sometimes customers book their January car shipments in November or December when pricing is low. It worked then, but not during the high Snowbird season. Sometimes it is the fault of the broker, and that’s a whole other conversation. Don’t get us started.
Fortunately, 58% of customers are priced sufficiently well enough to ship a car within 7 days. Those at the top of the carrier fee pool are likely to get super fast, expedited auto transport service to Florida.
Naples in particular, is a popular destination for car transport companies in the winter. So are the surrounding communities such as Ft. Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Marco Island, and more.

Car Transport Cost: FAQ
Over 90% of our orders ship inside of one week. That could be anywhere from 1 to 7 days. Most of the U.S. population lives in a major metropolitan area and is shipping to another well populated area, and that makes a big difference. Cars usually ship in a very regular manner, almost half within just a few days.
If either your origination or destination locations are away from population centers, in other words, in a remote area, then you might consider meeting a driver in a nearby big city or town to increase your chances of shipping timely. Or adding money to the carrier fee may entice a carrier. Remember, anyone you choose can serve as your point of contact, which takes the stress out of shipping your vehicle.
Clean out your vehicle of all loose items as much as possible. Leave nothing of value in the vehicle. It’s very rare that any items are stolen during transport, but we recommend extra caution to prevent loss.
Keep extra items as previously discussed to a minimum and place in the trunk or out of sight. Have only about a quarter tank of gasoline. Give the auto transport carrier a set of keys and advise them of any special instructions for your vehicle, like difficulty starting, steering, braking, etc.
Driver Consideration: Being a truck driver can be a thankless job. They work long hours and are away from their families for weeks at a time. Please be friendly and considerate to our drivers, and they will treat you in the same manner.
The first factor used to calculate car shipping cost is the transport distance. Next are the length, height and weight of the vehicle, followed by running condition and type of trailer (Open or Enclosed). Finally, seasonal fluctuations may impact the overall cost.
Maneuvering non-operational vehicles on and off a car transport trailer is a big challenge. Car shipping companies much prefer operational (running) vehicles because it gives them an easier option to reposition their entire load. Non-running vehicles take considerably more time to get on and off the trailer. So the car shipping quote must reflect the higher cost. Many auto transporters don’t have a winch and cannot accommodate non-running vehicles. That is one reason it takes longer on average to ship non-operational vehicles. Fewer do it. If at all possible, fixing your vehicle before trying to ship it will save on the non-running car transport cost, and make the process go faster.
Delivering is final step in the process, and also the simplest part. Once your vehicle has been assigned and picked up, not too much can go wrong. Once the vehicle is picked up, you can estimate that it will take roughly 1 day of transit time for every 500 miles distance. Delivery Time Estimate Guide 100-500 miles takes 1 or 2 days 500-1000 miles takes 2 or 3 days 1000-1500 miles takes 3 or 4 days 1500-2000 miles takes 4 or 5 days 2000-2500 miles takes 5 or 6 days 2500-3000 miles takes 6 or 7 days Depending on the distance, weather conditions and population centers it could be a few days or weeks until a vehicle reaches its destination. The carriers usually estimate about 10 days on coast to coast trips, but they frequently arrive earlier.
Yes and no. The strict interpretation is no, you can’t ship items inside your vehicle. The reality is that almost all carriers look the other way on items that weigh less than 100 pounds, roughly the equivalent of 2 suitcases. We recommend placing any additional items in the trunk and out of sight. The U.S. Transportation Law states that a carrier can be fined $10,000 for hauling household items in the vehicle, but it’s rarely enforced. However, the drivers do estimate the weight of each vehicle that they carry and don’t want problems at weight scales. So they must keep the personal items to a minimum. Some drivers will accept a tip ($50-$250) for hauling extra stuff, but some won’t. Rule of thumb, don’t take advantage.
