Enclosed Auto Transport — Premium Shipping for Luxury & Classic Cars
Enclosed auto transport is the premium option for vehicles that shouldn't touch the weather or the road. Fully covered trailers, lift-gate loading, soft tie-downs, and higher insurance limits — the way collectors, dealers, and exotic owners move their inventory.
What You Get With Enclosed Transport
Weather protection, road debris protection, low-angle loading, and higher-value carrier insurance. Enclosed drivers are typically the most experienced in the industry — many exclusively haul exotics and collector cars.
- Fully weather-protected trailer
- Hydraulic lift-gate for low-clearance vehicles
- Soft nylon tie-downs (no wheel straps)
- Higher insurance limits available
- Experienced high-value handling
When Enclosed Is Worth the 30% Premium
Any time replacement cost exceeds insurance limits on open transport, or when weather/road debris would meaningfully depreciate the vehicle. Classic paint jobs, exotic aero, low-splitter builds, and museum-grade restorations all justify enclosed.
