Enclosed car transport benefits
Certain kinds of vehicles need specific attention and care. Classic, luxury, and sports car owners and dealerships look for the enclosed hauler. When a classic has undergone an expensive restoration or an exotic car got a costly paint job done, the dealers and owners desire to pay for extra protection. It ensures that their high-end beauties are protected from weather and roadside hazards. You can see such cars at the collector car shows, auctions, and events.
Peace of mind
The car arrives at the destination as clean as it was when it got loaded on the enclosed trailer. It gets full protection from the climate, traffic grime, and dust. The car looks spotless on delivery all ready to go on a long drive.
Low ground clearance
Cars with low ground clearance need racing ramps and hydraulic lift gates to load and unload. Professionals offer this service when you choose an enclosed carrier option.
Increased insurance coverage
High-end and exotic cars get shipped in an enclosed carrier instead of the regular models. If you want a car valued at more than $50,000, choose an enclosed trailer as your car gets more insurance coverage.
What’s the cost of an enclosed car shipping?
You can ask for a quote or check the shipping cost calculator to get an idea. The car transport rates get calculated using the following variables.
- Open or enclosed transport option [the latter is expensive]
- The final destination is a rural or metropolitan area
- Your cars condition, size, and model
- Destination distance
- Season, for example – snowbird and holiday season can turn out to be costly
Avoid the temptation to drive your classic car on your own because it is stressful and adds miles. Your car even gets exposed to weather elements. It is also vulnerable to getting stolen as you stay overnight at a motel. Driving on the road late at night is risky. Therefore, your own safety also matters! Contact shippers!
