No coupon code. No fine print. If you're 65 or older, you get $25 off any car shipment with Bold Auto Transport. Open transport, enclosed transport, any distance, any vehicle.

How to claim it: Just mention you're 65+ when you request a quote or call (469) 942-5444. That's it. The $25 comes off your total.

A family member booking on your behalf? Same discount. As long as the customer is 65 or older, it applies.

When Seniors Ship Their Cars

We ship cars for seniors every week. Here are the most common reasons people call:

• Retirement relocation — You've earned the right to skip the 1,200-mile drive down I-95. Fly to your new home and the car shows up at your door a few days later.
• Seasonal / snowbird moves — Heading to Florida or Arizona for the winter? Snowbird auto transport is one of our most popular services. Ship the car down in October and back up in April.
• Moving closer to family — Downsizing to be near the grandkids is already a big enough project without adding a multi-day road trip on top of it.
• Downsizing or selling the house — When you're juggling movers, real estate, and a new address, the last thing you need is a two-day highway drive.
• Health reasons — Long-distance driving is tiring for anyone. If a multi-day trip isn't safe or comfortable, shipping the car is the smart call.

Senior Car Shipping Prices (After $25 Discount)

Here's what you actually pay after the senior discount. These are averages for open transport, the most common method:

If you're shipping a luxury vehicle, classic car, or anything over $50,000, enclosed transport adds full weather and debris protection for about 30–40% more.

Why Seniors Choose Bold Auto Transport

We work with seniors every day. We understand this is more than just a car shipment — it's part of a bigger life change. Here's why people trust us with it:

• Personal coordinator, not a phone tree — You talk to the same person every time. They know your name, your car, your situation. No hold music, no transferring to a different department, no repeating yourself.
• $0 deductible insurance included — Full coverage cargo insurance on every shipment at no extra cost. Your car is protected from pickup to delivery. Most competitors charge extra or stick you with a $250–$500 deductible.
• Transparent pricing — The price you're quoted is the price you pay. No fuel surcharges added later, no surprise costs at delivery. What we say is what you get.
• Door-to-door service — The carrier comes to your address for pickup and delivers to your new address. No driving to a terminal. No extra trips. More about door-to-door →
• Patient, unhurried service — Your coordinator takes the time to answer every question. Want to call three times to double-check things? That's perfectly fine. We don't rush anyone through the process.

Popular Routes for Senior Relocations

We track every shipment we handle. These six corridors account for the majority of senior relocations we book each year:

These are the most common senior relocation corridors we see. Florida and Arizona lead by a wide margin — no surprise there. But the Carolinas and Pacific Northwest are growing fast among retirees who want a lower cost of living without the extreme summer heat. North Carolina in particular has become a magnet for seniors leaving the Northeast.

Best Time to Ship for Retirement Moves

Timing makes a real difference in what you pay. Auto transport pricing shifts with demand, and demand follows predictable seasonal patterns.

Spring (March through May) and fall (September through November) offer the best rates for senior relocations. Carrier availability is high, prices are moderate, and weather is cooperative across most of the country. If you have any flexibility in your retirement date, these windows save real money.

Summer (June through August) is peak season. Families are moving, students are relocating, and demand spikes across every corridor. Expect prices to run 15–25% higher than spring or fall. If you have to ship in July or August, book at least 3 weeks ahead to lock in a better rate before carriers fill up.

Winter (December through February) is mixed. Snowbird routes heading south are busy and priced accordingly. But if you're shipping within the South or West, winter can be one of the cheapest windows of the year. The key is direction — carriers heading south in October are in high demand, while carriers heading north have open spots and lower prices.

Bottom line: if your move date is flexible, shipping in April or October typically saves you the most. For more strategies on keeping costs down, read our guide on the cheapest way to ship a car.

Stacking Your Senior Discount

The $25 senior discount applies per vehicle. Shipping two cars to your new home? That is $50 off your total. We see this all the time with couples who each have a vehicle — one sedan and one SUV, or a daily driver and a weekend car.

Multi-vehicle shipments already come with better per-unit pricing because carriers prefer to pick up two cars from the same address on the same day. The senior discount stacks on top of that built-in savings. Two vehicles from the same location on the same route is the most cost-effective way to ship.

Returning customers may also qualify for loyalty pricing. If you shipped with Bold before — maybe for a previous snowbird season or a family member's move — ask your coordinator about combined savings. We reward repeat business.

Want to know exactly what your multi-vehicle shipment would cost with all discounts applied? Call (469) 942-5444 and ask about combined savings. Your coordinator will walk through every option.
