Enclosed Auto Transport for Luxury, Classic & Exotic Cars
Fully covered trailers, hydraulic lift gates and soft-tie straps for vehicles that should never see road debris.
Enclosed transport puts your car behind solid walls for the entire trip. No rock chips, no road salt, no weather, and no curious eyes at truck stops. It is the standard choice for exotics, restored classics, show cars, high-value electric vehicles and anything with a wrap or fresh paint.
Enclosed trailers carry two to seven cars instead of nine or ten, and there are far fewer of them, so booking earlier gets you a better rate and a better date.

Lift-gate loading
Hydraulic gates load low-clearance and slammed cars without ramps or scraping.
Soft-tie straps
Wheel-strap tie-downs instead of chains on the chassis or suspension.
Weather sealed
No rain, salt, dust or road debris touches the paint between pickup and delivery.
Discreet transit
The vehicle is not visible on the road or at overnight stops.
Enclosed vs open transport
Open transport is the industry default: cheaper, far more availability, faster to book, and how nearly every new car reaches a dealership. Your vehicle is exposed to weather and road spray, which is fine for a daily driver.
Enclosed transport costs more per mile and takes a little longer to schedule, but the car is fully protected and handled by drivers who move high-value vehicles for a living. If the vehicle is rare, freshly painted, extremely low, or simply worth more than you would want to repaint, choose enclosed.
Which vehicles belong in an enclosed trailer
Classic and antique cars, exotics and supercars, show vehicles, luxury sedans and SUVs, motorcycles that require full protection, custom builds with unique paint or wraps, and anything with a ground clearance too low for standard ramps.
Owners of collector vehicles that have not been driven for years also use enclosed transport because the trailer is a controlled space and the driver is used to handling cars with delicate fluids and old tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much more does enclosed transport cost than open?
Enclosed usually costs substantially more than open transport on the same lane because enclosed trailers carry fewer cars and are far less common. We quote both side by side so you can compare on your actual route.
Can enclosed carriers handle very low cars?
Yes. Ask for a lift-gate trailer when you request a quote and we assign equipment that loads without ramp angles, plus race ramps where needed.
How far ahead should I book enclosed transport?
Give us as much notice as you can. Enclosed capacity is limited, so a week or more of lead time meaningfully improves both price and pickup date.
