What is enclosed auto transport?
Enclosed auto transport—also known as enclosed vehicle shipping or enclosed carrier transport—offers an added level of protection for your vehicle. It’s an ideal option for owners of luxury, classic, or custom cars who want extra care during transit.
With enclosed transport, your vehicle is moved in a fully enclosed trailer, shielded on all sides from weather conditions and road debris. This ensures your car travels safely from pickup to delivery without exposure, giving you complete peace of mind throughout the journey.
What’s the difference between open and enclosed auto transport?
With open car transport, your vehicle is shipped on an open trailer alongside other cars. While this means it may be exposed to weather, dust, and road conditions, open transport remains a safe and cost-effective option, making it the most popular choice for standard vehicle shipping.
Enclosed auto transport, on the other hand, provides full protection. Your vehicle is carried in a fully enclosed trailer, shielding it from weather and road debris on all sides. This option is preferred for luxury, classic, antique, exotic, or high-value vehicles. Because of the added protection, enclosed transport typically costs about 30–40% more than open car transport.
