Sealed from road & weather

What Is Enclosed Transport?

A Sealed Trailer. Maximum Security. Zero Compromises.

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.

Classic & Vintage Cars

Irreplaceable originals and lovingly restored classics deserve zero exposure to the elements — ever. We treat them like museum pieces.

Most popular enclosed request
Luxury Car

Luxury & Exotic Vehicles

Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Ferrari — when a scratch is unacceptable and a dent is out of the question, enclosed is the only option.

White-glove standard
Collector Vehicle

Collector & Show Cars

Award-winning show cars, rare limited editions, and collector pieces need to arrive flawless — exactly how they left.

Restored Vehicle

Restored Vehicles

Years 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 used
High-Value Dealership

High-Value Dealership Inventory

Dealerships transporting their highest-margin units — pre-owned exotics, certified luxury — can't afford transport damage. We protect your bottom line.

Low-Clearance Vehicle

Low-Clearance & Modified Cars

Custom lowered vehicles, wide-body kits, and modified suspension setups often can't load on standard open carriers. Our liftgates handle them safely.

Why It Matters

4 Layers of Protection Open Transport Simply Can't Match

Open carriers are great for everyday vehicles. But for yours, here's what enclosed adds that you just can't get otherwise.

Total Weather Protection

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.

No hail damage risk
No UV paint fade
No road salt exposure

Road Debris Shield

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.

No stone chips or cracks
Paintwork stays pristine
Windshield stays intact

Privacy & Security

High-value vehicles attract attention. Enclosed transport keeps your vehicle hidden from view during loading, transit, and delivery — reducing theft risk entirely.

GPS tracking included

Specialized Handling

Our enclosed carriers use soft-tie systems — not hooks or chains — to prevent any contact with your vehicle's undercarriage, frame, or custom bodywork.

What to Expect

What Does Enclosed Transport Actually Cost?

Enclosed transport typically runs 30–40% more than open transport — but the gap is smaller than most people expect. For a vehicle worth $50,000 or more, the extra protection is a fraction of the vehicle's value.

Pricing depends on several factors. Here's what affects your quote:

Distance

Cross-country routes cost more than regional hauls. We'll give you the exact number upfront.

Vehicle Size & Type

Oversized, lowered, or wide-body vehicles may need special equipment and pricing.

Season & Timing

Peak seasons and last-minute bookings can affect rate. Book ahead for the best price.

Expedited vs. Standard

Need it there faster? We offer priority pickup and dedicated single-vehicle enclosed runs.

Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

How much more does enclosed transport cost compared to open?
Enclosed transport typically costs 30–40% more than open transport. For example, if open transport on a given route costs $800, enclosed might be $1,100–$1,200. For vehicles worth $30,000 or more, most owners consider this a small price for complete peace of mind.
Is my vehicle insured during enclosed transport?
Yes. All carriers we work with carry cargo insurance. For high-value vehicles, we can also discuss additional coverage options to fully match your vehicle's market value. We'll walk you through what's covered before you book.
What's the difference between hard-sided and soft-sided enclosed trailers?
Hard-sided trailers offer the most protection — they have solid metal walls, completely sealing your vehicle from weather and view. Soft-sided trailers have canvas covers that protect from most elements but aren't completely airtight. We'll recommend the right option based on your vehicle and route.
How long does enclosed transport take?
Transit times are similar to open transport — typically 1–7 days depending on distance. Because enclosed trailers carry fewer vehicles (usually 2–6 vs. 8–10 on open), scheduling can sometimes be slightly faster since there are fewer stops. We'll give you an estimated delivery window when you book.
Can you ship a non-running vehicle in an enclosed trailer?
Absolutely. Our enclosed carriers are equipped with hydraulic liftgates for vehicles that don't run or can't be driven onto a ramp. Just let us know the vehicle's condition when you request your quote so we can match you with the right equipment.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?
You (or a trusted representative) should be present for both pickup and delivery to sign the Bill of Lading and complete the condition inspection with the driver. This protects both you and us. If you absolutely can't be there, a designated representative with your written authorization can step in.
