Enclosed transport for classic, collector, and exotic cars, handled by carriers chosen for experience rather than the lowest bid.
Classic car shipping moves a collector, exotic, or vintage car in an enclosed trailer, away from weather, road debris, and the open road. It is the standard for any car where original paint, low mileage, or rarity makes it hard to replace.
Pricing follows our enclosed rates, and the full range lives on the enclosed page. What changes for a collector car is less the price than who we put behind the wheel and what the trailer can do.
The car rides in a fully enclosed trailer, insulated against heat and cold and closed to weather and road grime the whole way.
Enclosed carriers secure the car with soft straps over the wheels. No chains, no hooks on the body, nothing touching the paint or the chrome.
Enclosed carriers carry $250,000 in cargo insurance as standard. If your car is worth more, we look for a carrier whose policy covers its value before we book.
We give collector cars to enclosed carriers with years on the road, top ratings, and a long list of completed shipments. The bar is experience, not the lowest bid.
Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.
Your price holds for 28 days. Cancel free until 7 days before pickup.
Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.

Really nice company, the whole process was fast and easy peasy.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.
Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.

Tell us where the car needs to go. The price you see is the price you pay, and it holds for 28 days.
We confirm a vetted carrier and schedule the pickup. A small deposit goes through then; nothing before.
The carrier picks up at your door and delivers to the address you gave us. The balance is paid at delivery.
Classic car shipping uses enclosed transport, which runs about $900 to $1,300 under 500 miles and $3,050 to $3,900 coast to coast. That is roughly 40 to 70% more than open transport. The exact number depends on the car and the route.
Yes. The enclosed carriers we use carry $250,000 in cargo insurance as standard. If your car is worth more than that, we look for a carrier whose policy covers its full value before we book.
Enclosed for almost any collector, exotic, vintage, or show car. It keeps the car out of the weather and off the open road, secured with soft straps over the wheels. Open transport is the better-value choice for a standard car you drive regularly.
Yes. A non-running classic ships enclosed on a carrier equipped to load it, usually with a winch. Tell us the car rolls, brakes, and steers or not when you book, so we send a carrier with the right equipment.
For a low-clearance car, we look for an enclosed trailer with a lift gate, which loads the car at a shallow angle instead of up a ramp. Those trailers are less common, so tell us the ground clearance up front and we will source one for the route.
Enclosed trailers are insulated, which shields the car from heat and cold on the road. Actively climate-controlled trailers exist but are rare. If your car needs one, tell us and we will see what is available on your route.
Enclosed earns its premium for collector, exotic, and show cars. For a standard car you drive regularly, open transport is the normal choice and costs less; enclosed runs 40 to 70% more. We won't move you to enclosed for a car that doesn't need it.
