VEHICLES WE HELP MOVE

Transport Matched to Your Vehicle

A restored classic, a daily-driven luxury sedan, and a low-clearance exotic can have different loading and handling requirements. We start by learning about the actual vehicle.

Classic & Collector Cars

Vintage, restored, collectible, and auction-purchased cars may need careful loading and a clear condition record. Tell us about non-original parts, leaks, or mechanical issues before booking.

Luxury Vehicles

From premium sedans to high-end SUVs, we can help review an enclosed option when you want to reduce exposure to weather and road debris during transport.

Exotic & Performance Cars

Low ride height, wide tires, body kits, and unusual dimensions can affect how a vehicle is loaded and secured. Share photos and clearance measurements so the equipment can be reviewed in advance.

ENCLOSED AUTO TRANSPORT

Why Choose Enclosed Car Shipping?

An enclosed trailer shields the vehicle from direct exposure to weather and road debris during transit. Owners often consider it for classic, luxury, exotic, restored, or especially valuable cars.

Enclosed transport does not make every shipment identical. Trailer design, loading equipment, tie-down methods, availability, and carrier coverage should be reviewed for your specific vehicle.

Protection from road exposure

The vehicle travels inside a covered trailer rather than on an open carrier. It still needs a careful pickup and delivery inspection.

Loading suited to the vehicle

Low-clearance vehicles may need a liftgate, extended ramps, or another suitable loading approach. Tell us about front splitters, side skirts, and modified suspension.

A carrier matched to the move

We review the route and vehicle details before discussing available equipment and quoted terms. Specific trailer features must be confirmed for the assigned carrier.

SPECIALTY SHIPPING DETAILS

The Details We Check Before Your Car Moves

Ground Clearance

Measure the lowest point and disclose any front splitter, underbody component, or adjustable suspension. A low vehicle may require different loading equipment.

Running Condition

Tell us whether the car starts, steers, rolls, and brakes. A non-running classic or project car may need special loading arrangements.

Value and Coverage

Disclose the vehicle’s value and ask to review the assigned carrier’s insurance information, coverage limits, and exclusions before transport.

TRANSPORT PRICING

What Affects Enclosed Car Shipping Cost?

Enclosed transport is generally priced differently from standard open shipping. The cost of your classic, luxury, or exotic vehicle shipment depends on the route and the equipment needed for that particular car.

BEFORE PICKUP

Prepare Your Classic or Exotic Car for Shipping

Take Clear Photos

Photograph all sides, the roof, wheels, interior, and any existing damage. Keep a copy for your records and review the pickup inspection with the driver.

Secure Accessories

Remove personal items and toll tags. Secure or disclose detachable spoilers, splitters, loose trim, and other fragile or aftermarket parts.

Disclose Special Needs

Tell us about low clearance, air suspension, a manual transmission, battery issues, fluid leaks, or a vehicle that cannot roll or steer.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Classic, Luxury & Exotic Car Shipping FAQs

Should I choose enclosed transport for a classic car?

Many owners choose enclosed transport for a restored, collectible, or high-value car because the trailer reduces direct exposure to weather and road debris. The best choice depends on your vehicle, priorities, route, and budget.

Can you ship a low-clearance exotic car?

It may be possible with suitable loading equipment. Provide the car’s clearance measurements and photos of the front splitter and underbody. A liftgate or different ramp setup may be needed and must be confirmed for the assigned carrier.

Can a non-running classic car be transported?

Possibly. Tell us whether it rolls, steers, and brakes and whether it has leaks or loose parts. The carrier will need a loading method suited to its condition.

Is enclosed transport fully protected from damage?

No transport method removes every risk. Enclosed shipping reduces exposure to weather and road debris. Photograph the vehicle, review the pickup and delivery condition reports, and ask about the assigned carrier’s insurance terms.

Does the carrier’s insurance cover my vehicle’s full value?

Coverage depends on the assigned carrier’s policy, limits, and exclusions. Disclose the vehicle’s value and request the carrier’s insurance information before shipment. You can also ask your own insurer about any coverage that applies during transport.

How long does enclosed car shipping take?

Timing depends on the route, pickup window, equipment needs, and enclosed carrier availability. Ask for the estimated pickup and delivery windows for your specific shipment rather than assuming a fixed transit time.
