Are you a Canadian snowbird planning to escape harsh winter weather by travelling to popular destinations like Florida, California, Texas and Arizona? Before you hit the road, there’s one important decision to make: Should you drive your vehicle all the way to your winter retreat or have it shipped?
While driving may seem like the traditional option, shipping your vehicle offers a range of benefits that can make your journey convenient, cost-effective, and stress-free. Whether you're headed to Arizona's deserts or California's beaches, transporting your car with Hansen's ensures a smoother transition from the cold north to your sun-soaked southern getaway.
Driving from Canada to southern U.S. states involves covering thousands of kilometres. The long journey puts miles on your vehicle, increasing the risk of mechanical wear and tear. Shipping your vehicle avoids this, allowing you to preserve your car’s condition. It saves you from potentially costly repairs down the line and helps maintain your vehicle's resale value.
Why subject your car to unnecessary use when you can have it transported safely and securely? Your vehicle will arrive at your destination in the same condition it left Canada.
Driving from Canada to popular snowbird destinations can take days, depending on your starting point and final stop. It’s a long and often tiring journey involving potentially challenging weather and road conditions. Shipping your car allows you to fly to your destination and avoid spending days on the road. Instead of mapping out a road trip itinerary and stopping at hotels along the way, you can arrive well-rested and ready to enjoy your winter escape.
Crossing the U.S. border with your vehicle can be complex, often requiring additional documentation, inspections, and potential fees. At Hansen’s, we are well-versed in the necessary paperwork and customs regulations, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free border crossing.
By shipping your vehicle, you can avoid the uncertainty and stress of navigating customs and focus instead on planning your winter activities. Let the professionals handle the logistics while you make the most of your trip south.
Long drives can be unpredictable, with risks ranging from poor weather to road hazards. Snowbird travel often coincides with winter storms, icy roads, and rapidly changing weather conditions, making driving more dangerous. Shipping your vehicle eliminates these risks, allowing you to avoid hazardous road conditions entirely.
Arrive safely at your destination without the worry of encountering breakdowns, accidents, or delays caused by unpredictable weather.
When you ship your vehicle ahead of time, it can be ready and waiting for you as soon as you arrive at your destination. This is incredibly convenient for snowbirds who prefer to travel at their own pace. You can fly out later, spend more time at home preparing for your trip or even enjoy a short stopover along the way. Shipping allows you to plan your journey as you wish, knowing that your car will be at your southern home when you need it.
