How enclosed transport works
Enclosed carriers have solid or soft-sided walls and a roof, so the vehicle travels inside the trailer rather than on an open rack. Nothing from the road reaches the paint.
These trailers carry fewer vehicles, and many have liftgates or long ramps for cars that sit low. That extra care and smaller load is why enclosed shipping costs more than open.
There are fewer enclosed trucks on the road, so it helps to book a little earlier, especially in spring and fall.
A good fit when
- The vehicle is a classic, exotic, luxury or collector car
- It has low ground clearance or custom bodywork
- You want it to arrive as clean as it left
- The car is headed to a show, an auction or a new owner

Enclosed Transport questions
When is enclosed transport worth the extra cost?
When repairing a rock chip or repainting a panel would cost more than the difference in price, or when the car simply cannot be replaced. For a typical daily driver, open transport is usually the better value.
Does enclosed shipping include more insurance?
Enclosed carriers generally carry higher cargo limits than open carriers. Tell us the vehicle's value when you book and we will confirm the carrier's coverage is appropriate before pickup.
Does enclosed transport take longer?
Transit time on the road is similar. The wait for pickup can be longer because there are fewer enclosed trucks, so booking ahead helps.
