Does enclosed mean lift-gate loading?

Not necessarily. Many enclosed carriers use specialized ramps. If your vehicle has extremely low ground clearance and requires a hydraulic lift-gate to load safely, you must request this specifically during the quote process so we can assign a carrier with the correct equipment.

What clearance information is needed?

We need to know the exact ground clearance of the lowest point of your vehicle (such as a front splitter or air dam). Providing accurate measurements helps us ensure the assigned carrier's ramps or lift-gate can safely accommodate your car without damage.

Is insurance automatically higher for enclosed transport?

While many enclosed carriers maintain higher cargo insurance limits to accommodate high-value vehicles, coverage varies by carrier. Each assigned carrier provides cargo coverage subject to its own policy. We verify the carrier's insurance before dispatching your vehicle.

How does enclosed compare to open transport?

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle from weather, road debris, and salt air, making it the preferred choice for investments. Open transport is more common and economical but leaves the vehicle exposed. We do not ship inoperable vehicles on either equipment type; all cars must run and drive.

The Enclosed Advantage

Reduced Exposure

By choosing enclosed transport, you eliminate the risks associated with road salt, gravel, and Gulf salt air. Your vehicle remains inside a covered trailer throughout the journey, arriving in the same condition it was picked up.

Low-Clearance & Lift-Gates

Many modern performance cars and classic restorations have extremely low ground clearance. When standard ramps aren't enough, we can coordinate with carriers equipped with hydraulic lift-gates. It is essential to confirm your vehicle's measurements during the booking process to ensure the correct equipment is assigned.

Enclosed vs. Open Transport

While open transport is the standard for daily drivers, enclosed transport is a specialized service for investments. It offers a higher level of protection but comes with a higher price point and often requires more specific scheduling.
