Enclosed Car Shipping

An alternative to the common open-air car shipping, enclosed auto transport is a superior option. This is an alternative not many are familiar with, but it is highly advisable for those with luxury or classic, antique, or extremely valuable vehicles.

In this case your vehicle is boxed off, covered on the roof and the sides, completely safeguarded from weather and road hazards. The downside is that covered car transport can cost as much as 60% more than conventional open car transport since there are a fewer number of these trucks carrying fewer vehicles at a time.

Our truck drivers are experienced and professional, and well aware of the significance of and the probable sentiment attached to these exotic cars, so when you opt for enclosed auto transport our drivers are trained to take all possible measures to make sure the vehicle is delivered in perfect condition.

The option of cars housed in covered cars such as is the option of enclosed auto transport is in high demand for those with classic or custom cars. Unlike in open transport where up to 10 vehicles are being shipped at a time, these boxed trucks can cater only for 4-6 vehicles at a time. Though available for all cars, for the likes of classic cars, sports cars, luxury sedans and SUV’s, this is by far a smarter choice, keeping your possession safe from all outer elements.

The price depends on many factors but it is an obvious inquiry for all those looking to transport their vehicle in the safest possible manner. The variables it is dependable on are:

Vehicle size – this is of importance because the larger the car the more space it takes up in the truck, in turn leaving less space for other cars.

Vehicle type – Some cars require lift gate elevator, which pose a smaller risk than the usual ramps. This is usually requested for vintage cars. Additionally, door to door shipping makes sure that the car is protected from loading and unloading.

Destination – the cost here depends on how difficult it is to reach your destination. It is usually cheaper when using major routes.

Fuel Price – Fuel prices are always changing, so this will definitely impact the cost of the transportation of your vehicle.

Surcharges – Toll roads, leaving the state and overnight trips are considered surcharges and will impact the price.

Date – Rates are usually highest around the holidays when people are traveling across the country, with the summer being the most in demand season. Also bear in mind it may take longer for your car to ship during the holidays.

Insurance – Depending on the value of your vehicle, your insurance may be more expensive and be subject to additional costs.

Same Day / Expedited Auto Shipping - If you request same day enclosed auto shipment you will be subject to an additional fee. Depending on the distance, it is possible that two truck drivers might have to take on the transport so that they can take turns to rest, such as is the case with expedited auto shipping.

*It is important to mention that you should be available and prepared with payment at the scheduled time because this service runs on a tight schedule and you might incur extra costs should it be a failed delivery, which is when the driver either has to wait for you or take your vehicle to a storage yard, or you fail to pay on time.
