What is classic car shipping?

Classic car shipping moves a collector, exotic, or vintage car in an enclosed trailer, away from weather, road debris, and the open road. It is the standard for any car where original paint, low mileage, or rarity makes it hard to replace.

Pricing follows our enclosed rates, and the full range lives on the enclosed page. What changes for a collector car is less the price than who we put behind the wheel and what the trailer can do.

How a collector car travels with us

Enclosed and insulated

The car rides in a fully enclosed trailer, insulated against heat and cold and closed to weather and road grime the whole way.

Soft tie-downs

Enclosed carriers secure the car with soft straps over the wheels. No chains, no hooks on the body, nothing touching the paint or the chrome.

$250,000 in cargo coverage

Enclosed carriers carry $250,000 in cargo insurance as standard. If your car is worth more, we look for a carrier whose policy covers its value before we book.

Carriers with a track record

We give collector cars to enclosed carriers with years on the road, top ratings, and a long list of completed shipments. The bar is experience, not the lowest bid.

Four things that set us apart.

Insured Transport

Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.

The Price is the Price

Door-to-Door

Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.

Common questions, plainly answered.

How much does it cost to ship a classic car?

Classic car shipping uses enclosed transport, which runs about $750 to $1,150 under 500 miles and $1,800 to $2,800 coast to coast. That is roughly 30 to 45% more than open transport. The exact number depends on the car, the route, and the season.

Is my classic car insured during transport?

Yes. The enclosed carriers we use carry $250,000 in cargo insurance as standard. If your car is worth more than that, we look for a carrier whose policy covers its full value before we book.

Should I ship my classic car enclosed or open?

Enclosed for almost any collector, exotic, vintage, or show car. It keeps the car out of the weather and off the open road, secured with soft straps over the wheels. Open transport is the better-value choice for a standard car you drive regularly.

Can you ship a classic car that doesn't run?

Yes. A non-running classic ships enclosed on a carrier equipped to load it, usually with a winch. Tell us the car rolls, brakes, and steers or not when you book, so we send a carrier with the right equipment.

How do you load a very low classic car?

For a low-clearance car, we look for an enclosed trailer with a lift gate, which loads the car at a shallow angle instead of up a ramp. Those trailers are less common, so tell us the ground clearance up front and we will source one for the route.

Are the trailers climate controlled?

Enclosed trailers are insulated, which shields the car from heat and cold on the road. Actively climate-controlled trailers exist but are rare. If your car needs one, tell us and we will see what is available on your route.

Open or enclosed?

If it's a car you drive every day, open is fine and costs less.

Enclosed earns its premium for collector, exotic, and show cars. For a standard car you drive regularly, open transport is the normal choice and costs less; enclosed runs 30 to 45% more. We won't move you to enclosed for a car that doesn't need it.
