Enclosed Auto Transport — For vehicles that matter most.
When your car is irreplaceable — whether it's a classic, a luxury ride, or an exotic — we ship it in a fully enclosed trailer, shielded from weather, road debris, and prying eyes. Every mile, every detail.
What Is Enclosed Transport?
Enclosed auto transport means your vehicle rides inside a fully covered, hard-sided or soft-sided trailer — completely hidden from the elements. Unlike open transport where cars are loaded on a multi-level open carrier exposed to the highway, enclosed keeps your vehicle as if it never left your garage.
It costs more than open transport — but for the right vehicle, the peace of mind is worth every penny. We use soft-tie systems, hydraulic lift gates for low-clearance vehicles, and conduct a full inspection before and after loading.
Is This Right for You?
If your vehicle has sentimental, financial, or collector value — enclosed transport is the right call.
Irreplaceable originals and lovingly restored classics deserve zero exposure to the elements — ever. We treat them like museum pieces.

White-glove standardAward-winning show cars, rare limited editions, and collector pieces need to arrive flawless — exactly how they left.
Full documentation providedYears of restoration work shouldn't be put at risk during shipping. One road pebble on an open carrier can undo months of paintwork.
Soft-tie systems usedDealerships transporting their highest-margin units — pre-owned exotics, certified luxury — can't afford transport damage. We protect your bottom line.
Volume accounts availableCustom lowered vehicles, wide-body kits, and modified suspension setups often can't load on standard open carriers. Our liftgates handle them safely.

Open carriers are great for everyday vehicles. But for yours, here's what enclosed adds that you just can't get otherwise.
Your vehicle is completely sealed inside a hard or soft-sided trailer. Rain, hail, snow, dust, and UV rays never touch it — the entire journey.
Rocks, gravel, and debris kicked up on the highway are the #1 cause of transport damage on open carriers. Inside an enclosed trailer, there's zero exposure.
High-value vehicles attract attention. Enclosed transport keeps your vehicle hidden from view during loading, transit, and delivery — reducing theft risk entirely.
Our enclosed carriers use soft-tie systems — not hooks or chains — to prevent any contact with your vehicle's undercarriage, frame, or custom bodywork.
