Overview

White-Glove Protection for High-Value Vehicles

Enclosed auto transport places your vehicle inside a fully sealed trailer, shielding it from rain, snow, UV rays, road salt, gravel, and anything else the highway throws its way. This is the same method used by dealerships, auction houses, and collectors to move vehicles worth six and seven figures.

Our enclosed carriers hold 2 to 7 vehicles, and many feature hydraulic lift gates for ground-level loading to eliminate ramp-related risks. Every driver in our enclosed network undergoes additional training and background screening.
