Enclosed Auto Transport
Enclosed Auto Transport
Added protection for luxury, classic, exotic and high-value vehicles.
How It Works
Extra Protection for Vehicles That Matter Most
Enclosed auto transport carries your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, road debris and dust during the trip.
Owners of luxury, exotic, classic, collectible and other high-value vehicles often choose enclosed transport for added peace of mind. Enclosed carriers typically haul fewer vehicles per trip, which is one reason this option usually costs more than open transport.
