Premium enclosed carriers provide complete protection from weather, road debris, and prying eyes. The gold standard for valuable vehicles.
Enclosed auto transport is the premium vehicle shipping solution for owners who demand the highest level of protection during transit. With Quote Auto Ship's enclosed service, your vehicle travels inside a fully covered trailer — shielded from rain, snow, hail, UV exposure, road debris, and dust from the moment it's loaded until delivery.
Our enclosed carriers are the same trailers trusted by dealerships, collectors, and auction houses to move vehicles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Whether you're shipping a luxury sedan, a classic muscle car, a high-performance sports car, or any vehicle you simply want to protect, enclosed transport eliminates virtually all risk of cosmetic damage during transit.
Quote Auto Ship offers two types of enclosed trailers. Hard-side enclosed carriers feature rigid aluminum or steel walls and a solid roof, providing maximum protection against impacts and weather. Soft-side enclosed carriers use heavy-duty canvas coverings stretched over a steel frame — they block 100% of weather and debris at a slightly lower cost. Both options include hydraulic lift gates for gentle, ramp-free loading.
Enclosed trailers typically carry 2 to 6 vehicles at a time, which means your car receives more individual attention during loading, transit, and unloading. Drivers specializing in enclosed transport are among the most experienced in the industry, often with 10+ years handling high-value vehicles.
We recommend enclosed shipping for any vehicle valued over $50,000, all classic and antique cars, exotic and luxury vehicles, custom or modified cars, show cars, and any vehicle with a pristine or freshly restored finish. If your vehicle is irreplaceable or its condition is critical to its value, enclosed transport is the clear choice.
Enclosed transport typically costs 30-50% more than open carriers, but the peace of mind and protection are worth every penny for high-value vehicles. Quote Auto Ship offers competitive enclosed rates with full insurance coverage. Get your enclosed transport quote instantly — call 1-833-848-4600.
