Give your valuable automobile additional protection during transportation with enclosed car shipping from TrustRoute Car Transport. Ideal for luxury, exotic, classic, and collector vehicles, enclosed trailers help reduce exposure to weather, dust, and road debris during transit.
Transporting a valuable automobile involves more than moving it between two locations. Vehicle owners often want to consider the type of trailer, loading equipment, securement methods, and environmental exposure involved in the journey.
TrustRoute Car Transport offers enclosed auto shipping arrangements for customers seeking an additional level of protection.
Based in Cooper City, Florida, we help customers explore suitable transportation solutions for specialty automobiles and other vehicles that may benefit from covered shipping.
Whether you’re purchasing a luxury car, relocating a collector vehicle, or arranging transportation to an automotive event, enclosed shipping can be an appropriate option.
Enclosed car transport involves placing a vehicle inside a covered transportation trailer.
Unlike open-air trailers, enclosed carriers have exterior walls and a roof that help protect vehicles from direct exposure to outdoor conditions.
These trailers are commonly used for vehicles with high values, sensitive finishes, limited production numbers, or specialized transportation requirements.
Some enclosed carriers feature equipment designed for low-clearance or specialty vehicles. Equipment varies by carrier, so special requirements should be discussed before booking.
Protection from Road Debris
Covered trailers help reduce direct exposure to stones, dirt, and other debris encountered during highway transportation.
Reduced Weather Exposure
Enclosed trailers help shield automobiles from rain, windblown dust, and other environmental conditions.
Appropriate for High-Value Vehicles
Luxury, exotic, and collectible vehicle owners often choose enclosed shipping because of the additional protection it provides.
Specialized Loading Possibilities
Certain carriers may offer hydraulic lift gates, extended ramps, or other equipment designed to accommodate low-clearance vehicles.
Greater Peace of Mind
For customers transporting rare or carefully restored automobiles, enclosed shipping may be worth the additional expense.
Enclosed shipping is commonly considered for:
The best option depends on the vehicle’s condition, dimensions, clearance, and handling requirements.
Step 1: Provide Vehicle Information
Tell us the make, model, year, operating condition, and relevant modifications.
Mention unusual dimensions, low ground clearance, or special loading requirements.
Step 2: Review Carrier Options
Discuss enclosed transportation availability, equipment requirements, scheduling, and estimated pricing.
Step 3: Confirm Your Shipment
Review the transportation terms, pickup arrangements, and delivery details before booking.
Step 4: Prepare the Automobile
Photograph the vehicle, remove loose items, and provide important operating instructions.
Step 5: Vehicle Pickup
The driver documents the vehicle’s condition and loads it using the appropriate procedures and equipment.
Step 6: Delivery and Inspection
Inspect the vehicle upon arrival and review the delivery condition documentation.
Enclosed transportation generally costs more than open car shipping because enclosed trailers often carry fewer vehicles and may involve specialized equipment.
However, price should not be the only consideration.
A vehicle with a rare finish, limited replacement parts, or special handling needs may benefit from the additional protection.
For a standard everyday vehicle, open shipping may be sufficient.
For a collector automobile or valuable sports car, enclosed transportation may be a more suitable choice.
Several factors affect enclosed shipping rates.
Longer distances typically increase the overall transportation cost.
Vehicle size and weight influence trailer capacity and loading requirements.
Low-clearance vehicles may require special equipment.
Route availability and seasonal demand can also influence the final quote.
Customers should provide accurate information about vehicle modifications and handling needs to help avoid unexpected complications.
Before confirming enclosed transportation, consider asking:
Understanding these details helps you evaluate the transportation arrangement more effectively.
Before pickup, thoroughly document the vehicle’s condition.
Take photographs of the paint, wheels, trim, glass, and interior.
Remove loose accessories and valuable belongings.
Disclose mechanical problems, aftermarket modifications, or nonstandard dimensions.
Keep copies of relevant shipping paperwork.
If the vehicle has unusual starting or operating procedures, provide clear instructions to the transportation provider.
