- Hydraulic lift-gate loading for low-clearance cars
- Soft-strap securement — nothing metal touches your wheels
- Licensed, insured carriers with photo condition reports
Tell us the route and the car. Your estimated range appears the moment your details are in — then a specialist confirms the exact figure with you personally. No obligation, and your car never shares a trailer deck with daily drivers.

Why Enclosed
An open trailer is a highway. Your car deserves a vault.
On an open carrier, your car spends days exposed to everything the interstate throws at it. Enclosed transport removes the road from the equation entirely.
Weather, sealed out
Rain, hail, snow, road salt and desert sun never touch the paint. The car arrives in the condition it left — not the condition the weather left it in.
Road debris & privacy
Hard walls stop rocks, gravel and tire fragments cold. They also keep a rare or valuable car out of sight for the entire trip — nobody photographs it at a rest stop.
Hydraulic lift gates
Low splitters and long noses ride up flat on a lift gate instead of scraping up steep ramps. It is the only safe way to load a car that sits inches off the ground.
Soft straps, higher coverage
Cars are secured with soft nylon straps over the tires — never chains over suspension or wheels. Enclosed carriers also carry substantially higher cargo insurance as standard for the valuable loads they haul.
The White-Glove Process
Handled like it is irreplaceable — because it is
01
Your estimate & exact quote
Submit the route and the car. Your range appears instantly, and a specialist confirms the exact, all-in figure with you — no surprises added later.
02
Carrier matched by hand
We match an enclosed carrier experienced with your vehicle category — lift gate for low cars, single-car attention for the rarest ones.
03
Documented pickup
The driver photographs and notes the car's condition with you present, loads by lift gate or extended ramps, and straps it down with soft ties.
04
Sealed trip, verified delivery
The trailer stays closed for the journey. At delivery, the condition inspection is repeated with you before you sign — the car should look exactly as it left.
Vehicles We Protect
If it would hurt to see it on an open trailer, it belongs in here
Low-clearance & lift-gate cars
That Thunderbird never touched a ramp angle. Lift-gate loading keeps splitters, spoilers and long overhangs off the pavement.
Exotics & supercars
Carbon fiber, ceramic brakes and six-figure paint jobs travel out of sight and out of the weather — the way the factory shipped them.
Luxury & new purchases
Bought it out of state? Skip the break-in miles, the stone chips and the detail bill. It arrives showroom-clean, exactly as inspected.
Collector & auction cars
Provenance is value. Documented, sealed, insured transport protects both the car and the paperwork story that comes with it.
Race cars & non-runners
Winch-equipped enclosed trailers move cars that cannot be driven onto a deck — slicks, aero and all — straight to the paddock or the shop.
Enclosed vs Open
The honest difference
Open transport is right for plenty of everyday cars. Here is what changes when the car matters more than the savings.
| Enclosed | Open | |
|---|---|---|
| Weather protection | Complete — sealed hard-sided trailer | None — rain, snow, salt & sun |
| Road debris | Blocked — walls stop rocks & gravel | Exposed — chips are a known risk |
| Privacy | Out of sight for the whole trip | Visible to everyone, everywhere |
| Loading | Hydraulic lift gate or long ramps — built for low cars | Steep ramps — risky for low clearance |
| Securement | Soft straps over tires | Chains or straps, varies by carrier |
| Cargo insurance | Higher coverage carried as standard | Standard coverage levels |
| Best for | Classic, exotic, luxury, collector & race cars | Everyday drivers & budget moves |
Either way, the choice in the quote form is yours — select Open or Enclosed in Step 2 and your estimate and booking honor exactly that selection.
Questions
Before you hand over the keys
Why does my estimate show only after I enter my details?
Your range is calculated from your actual route, vehicle and transport type — and it is tied to your request so a specialist can confirm the exact figure with you. Entering your details takes seconds, and the range appears immediately on the next screen.
What does enclosed transport cost compared to open?
Enclosed runs higher than open — you are paying for a hard-sided trailer, fewer cars per load, lift-gate equipment and higher insurance. Your personal range appears on the final step of the quote form for your exact route, and you can select Open in Step 2 if you would rather compare that way. The selection you make is the one we quote and book.
My car sits very low. Can it be loaded safely?
Yes — that is exactly what hydraulic lift gates are for. The car rides up flat instead of climbing a steep ramp angle, so splitters and spoilers stay clear. Mention any unusually low clearance when your specialist calls, and a lift-gate carrier will be assigned.
Is my car insured during the trip?
Every carrier in the enclosed network is licensed and carries cargo insurance, and enclosed carriers carry higher coverage levels as standard because of the loads they haul. The photo condition report at pickup documents the car's state before it moves, and the same inspection is repeated at delivery.
Can I put personal items in the car?
Carriers generally allow a modest amount of items secured in the trunk, but items inside the vehicle are not covered by the carrier's cargo insurance and excess weight can be refused. For a valuable car, we recommend shipping it empty — your specialist can confirm the carrier's exact policy.
How far ahead should I book?
Enclosed capacity is smaller than open, so a few days of lead time helps — especially around auction weeks and the winter snowbird season. Same-week pickups are often possible; your specialist will tell you honestly what the schedule allows.
Do you pick up and deliver at my door?
Yes — enclosed transport here is door to door wherever the trailer can safely access. If a street is too tight, the driver will meet you at the nearest suitable spot and walk the car the last short distance with you.
