Memorial Day isn’t just the unofficial start of summer — it’s also the kickoff of peak relocation season across the U.S. Families, students, snowbirds, and military personnel all hit the road at the same time, making it one of the busiest times of the year for the auto transport industry.
Navi Auto Transport helps you stay ahead of the summer rush with Express Pickup options, real-time tracking, and transparent pricing — so you can move on your schedule, not the industry’s.
☀️ Why Summer Is the Busiest Auto Transport Season
From late May through August, auto transport volume surges. This is driven by:
- 🚚 Military relocations (PCS season)
- 🏡 Families moving during school breaks
- 🎓 College students heading home or starting internships
- 🕶️ Snowbirds returning north
- 🚗 Car buying and dealership activity spikes
More moves = higher demand for carriers. And when demand surges, pickup windows shrink and last-minute bookings get expensive fast.
“Every summer, we see shipping requests double. The customers who book early save money and get the best carriers,” says Ivan Karakostov, CEO of Navi Auto Transport.
🕒 Book Early to Lock in Lower Rates
Just like airline tickets, car shipping prices rise as space fills up. Carriers prioritize customers who book early — especially on high-demand routes like:
- Florida ↔ Northeast
- California ↔ Texas
- Midwest ↔ Arizona / California
- East Coast ↔ West Coast
