Enclosed Auto Transport for the Cars You Care About Most
Classic, exotic, luxury and collector vehicles deserve more than an open trailer. Ship yours fully enclosed — protected from weather, road debris and prying eyes, door to door.
When enclosed transport is worth it
Open carriers are perfect for everyday cars. But for high-value or irreplaceable vehicles, the added protection of an enclosed trailer pays for itself in peace of mind.
Classic & collector cars
Rare and vintage vehicles get full protection from weather and road grime that could damage original finishes.
Luxury & exotic
Ferraris, Lamborghinis, high-end Mercedes and Porsches ride in a sealed trailer, away from debris and public view.
Low-clearance vehicles
Enclosed trailers use lift gates and soft straps, ideal for lowered or low-ground-clearance sports cars.
High-value & new
Just bought something special? Keep it in showroom condition from seller’s door to yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much more does enclosed auto transport cost?
Enclosed transport typically runs about 30–60% more than open transport, depending on route, vehicle, and trailer type. The premium reflects specialized equipment, lower vehicles-per-load, and higher insurance limits. Get a quote for your exact vehicle to see the difference.
Is enclosed shipping fully insured?
Yes. Enclosed carriers carry cargo insurance, and higher coverage limits are typically available for high-value vehicles. We’ll share the assigned carrier’s insurance details before pickup so you know exactly how your car is covered.
Can you ship a lowered or non-running classic car?
Absolutely. Enclosed trailers use hydraulic lift gates and winches, so lowered sports cars and non-running classics can be loaded safely without scraping. Just let us know the vehicle’s condition when you request your quote.
How long does enclosed transport take?
Transit times are similar to open transport — about 1–2 days for short hauls and 7–9 days coast-to-coast — though enclosed carriers run less frequently, so booking a few days ahead is wise.
Will my car be exposed to weather or debris?
No. That’s the point of enclosed transport: your vehicle travels in a fully covered trailer, shielded from rain, snow, sun, and road debris the entire trip.
