Enclosed Car Shipping
Why Choose Enclosed Car Shipping for Your Classic Car?
When it comes to shipping a classic car, open auto transport simply doesn't offer the necessary safeguards. enclosed transport is the “Gold Standard” for a reason:
Ultimate Protection
Enclosed trailers act as a mobile vault, shielding your vehicle from rain, snow, hail, dust, road salt, and harmful UV rays. This prevents rust, and damage to paint and delicate finishes and components that can occur during open transport.
Maintaining Vehicle Value
By protecting your classic car from potential damage during transport, enclosed shipping helps preserve its value and integrity, crucial for collectors and enthusiasts.
Enhanced Security
The rarity and value of classic cars make security a top concern. Enclosed trailers offer a higher level of security against theft and vandalism.
Ideal for Delicate and Low-Clearance Features
Many classic cars have unique design elements, such as low ground clearance or delicate trim, that can be susceptible to damage during loading and unloading on open carriers. Enclosed transport, especially with lift-gate options, minimizes these risks.

Peak seasons, like spring and summer for car shows can see higher demand and potentially increased prices.
Shipping to or from major metropolitan areas and popular classic car routes may cost less. This is because there are more carriers available. Less common or remote routes might incur higher costs.
If you require faster delivery, expedited services are available but will come at an additional premium.
Haulify provides comprehensive insurance, however some owners may opt for additional third-party insurance at an additional cost.
If your classic car cannot run, it may need a winch or special tools to load it. This can also increase the cost.
Cost of shipping vary widely, typically ranging from a few hundred dollars for a local trip to several thousand for a long-distance or international shipment. Factors include distance, transport type (enclosed is more expensive), vehicle condition, size, and seasonality.
