Enclosed Auto Transport

Premium vehicle shipping in a fully sealed carrier for maximum protection against weather, road debris, and prying eyes.

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.

  • Complete protection from weather, dust, and road debris
  • Hydraulic lift-gate loading available on most carriers
  • Lower vehicle-per-truck ratio for extra care
  • Real-time GPS tracking throughout transit

Who It's For

Who Uses Enclosed Transport?

If your vehicle holds significant financial or sentimental value, enclosed is the smart choice.

Luxury Car Owners

Protect your BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, or Tesla from cosmetic damage during long-distance shipping.

Classic Car Collectors

Vintage and restored vehicles deserve sealed protection. Keep decades of restoration work safe in transit.

Exotic & Sports Cars

Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and limited-production vehicles with low ground clearance need lift-gate loading.

Auction Buyers & Dealers

Transporting inventory or auction wins? Enclosed carriers maintain showroom condition from lot to lot.

Advantages

Why Choose Enclosed Shipping

Four reasons enclosed transport is worth the investment for vehicles that matter most.

Total Weather Shield

Rain, hail, snow, and UV exposure cannot reach your vehicle inside the sealed trailer walls.

Privacy & Security

Your vehicle is hidden from view, reducing theft risk and keeping high-value cars out of sight during transit.

Zero Road Contact

No flying gravel, no kicked-up debris, no highway tar. Your paint and finish arrive in the same condition they left.

Enhanced Insurance

Enclosed carriers typically carry higher insurance limits, providing up to $500,000 in cargo coverage per vehicle.

🛡
★ Double-Layer Cargo Protection

Every carrier we dispatch carries FMCSA-compliant primary cargo insurance. We back that with $100,000 contingent cargo coverage through Great American Insurance — so your vehicle is covered twice.

FAQ

Enclosed Transport Questions

Enclosed transport typically costs 40-60% more than open. For a cross-country shipment, that difference usually ranges from $400 to $800. The added protection is well worth it for high-value vehicles.

Enclosed trailers carry between 2 and 7 vehicles depending on the carrier type. Fewer vehicles per load means more individual attention and care for your car during transit.

Yes. Enclosed carriers can ship sedans, SUVs, sports cars, motorcycles, and even some light trucks. If your vehicle fits within standard height and length limits, it qualifies for enclosed shipping.

It is not strictly necessary since new cars are often shipped open from the factory. However, if you want to avoid any cosmetic imperfections from road exposure, enclosed is the safest choice for a factory-fresh finish.

We recommend booking at least 1 to 2 weeks ahead. Enclosed carriers have limited availability compared to open, so advance scheduling helps secure your preferred dates and the best rates.
