Our Enclosed Car Shipping Service
Our enclosed car shipping service provides the ultimate protection for your vehicle. This is the perfect choice for luxury, classic, and exotic vehicles that need extra care. Your car will be fully protected from all weather and road debris from pickup to delivery.
How Enclosed Transport Protects Your Vehicle
Our enclosed transport carriers offer maximum protection from all harsh elements and road debris. Your car is safely secured inside to prevent any shifting during transit. We use a specialized platform that provides a gentle slope for a safe and easy loading and unloading process.
Soft-Sided vs. Hard-Sided Enclosed Transport
Our enclosed service offers two types of carriers to give your vehicle the perfect level of protection.
- Soft-Sided Enclosed Transport
A soft-sided enclosed carrier uses a durable, non-rigid cover to protect your vehicle. This option keeps your car safe from branches, blowing debris, and weather. It’s the perfect choice for luxury and sports vehicles that need to maintain a pristine finish. Soft-sided enclosed auto transport service can also cost slightly less then the hardside.
- Hard-Sided Enclosed Transport
A hard-sided enclosed carrier is a fully sealed, rigid trailer that provides the highest level of security. It protects your vehicle from all possible damages and fluid spills during transport. We recommend a hard-sided carrier for all exotic and classic cars.
Why choose Hard-Sided over Soft-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport?
While soft-sided transport is an excellent option, a hard-sided trailer is a completely sealed and rigid container. This protects your car from all road debris and the elements. The fully enclosed space also shields your car from extreme heat and cold, ensuring a more stable environment for your valuable vehicle.
When Should I Use Enclosed Auto Transport?
Enclosed transport is the best choice for vehicles that require maximum protection and care. Consider the following questions to decide if it’s the right choice for you:
Is your vehicle a classic, luxury, or exotic sports car?
Does your vehicle have sentimental or investment value?
Does it have a high-end paint job or exterior modifications?
Is your vehicle very low to the ground?
Are you shipping your vehicle at a time with expected bad weather?
Is the value of your car greater than an open carrier insurance policy covers?
If you answered yes to any of these, enclosed auto transport is the best way to ensure your vehicle is fully protected from start to finish.
How Long Does Enclosed Car Shipping Take?
The shipping timeline depends on the distance and location. Because enclosed carriers are highly specialized, the pickup window can sometimes take longer than with open transport.
Most vehicles are picked up within 24-72 hours of being ready, though this may take up to five days in remote areas.
Once your car is on its way, here are the estimated delivery times:
Under 1,000 miles: 2-3 days
1,000 to 1,750 miles: 4-6 days
1,750 to 2,500 miles: 7-10 days
We will provide you with a specific delivery window once your order is confirmed.

Cons of Enclosed Auto Transport:
While enclosed transport offers maximum security, it has a few drawbacks to consider.
Higher Cost: Enclosed transport is more expensive than open shipping due to the specialized trailers and higher insurance coverage.
