What is enclosed car transport?
Enclosed car transport is a type of auto transport that adds protection for vehicles. It’s a great car shipping option if you need to transport a classic or luxury car. Enclosed carriers can often only carry a few vehicles at the same time, in most cases, up to 7 automobiles.
What are enclosed car transport prices?
Enclosed car transport service prices are calculated the same as open car transport, but you’ll pay about 10-40% more per trip for added protection. For standard-sized vehicles: short routes (1-500 miles) average $709, medium routes (500-1500 miles) average $929 and longer routes (1500+ miles) average $1179.
Do I need enclosed car transport?
Here are a few questions to ask yourself if you’re considering enclosed transport:
- Is it a classic, luxury or collectible vehicle?
- Are you concerned about harsh weather?
- Are you concerned about debris or hazards your vehicle might encounter during transport?
- Does it have any modifications?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, enclosed transport is the right choice for you.
Peace-of-mind protection
We know that you want your car to arrive as clean as when you left it. Avoid exposure to the elements or extreme weather with enclosed auto shipping. Your enclosed car transport cost will just be a little bit extra.
Safe from rain, weather and road hazards
Enclosed carriers keep your vehicle shielded from the elements and road hazards during transit. Most customers don't mind a little rain or snow, but when you're dealing with exotic, luxury collectible, or high-value vehicles, enclosed shipping provides an extra layer of protection.
Ship cars with low ground clearance
Hydraulic lift gates are necessary when loading and unloading a car with low ground clearance, and are only available with enclosed auto transport. When booking, make sure you let our enclosed auto transport quote specialists know, and they will make sure your enclosed car shipping comes equipped with this feature.
