One of the many decisions snowbirds face when they plan a trip south for the winter is whether they should take the car with them. If you plan to drive, this is a moot point. However, even if you plan to fly, you can still have your vehicle shipped to your winter home in time for your arrival.
There really is no wrong answer. Some people prefer to have their vehicle with them during their trip, while others don’t mind finding other ways to get around. There are pros and cons to each option.
Many snowbirds enjoy driving south. It gives them the opportunity to see the US, take their time and stop at their leisure. However, it is often more time-consuming than flying.
