How Much Does Enclosed Car Shipping Cost?

06/19/2012

Enclosed car shipping is shipping via a car carrier with a roof and walls, so that your vehicle is protected from the elements and has a reduced chance of any scratches or dings. Enclosed transport typically costs 25-50% more than shipping on an open carrier.

Shippers frequently choose enclosed car shipping for:

  • Antique cars (e.g. Ford Model T, 1955 Bel Air)
  • High-end sports cars (e.g. Ferrari, Maserati)
  • Luxury vehicles (e.g. Bentley, Jaguar)

Some car owners also ship more “typical” cars via enclosed transport. It is a matter of whether the extra cost of enclosed transport is worth it to you.

While most car shipping companies offer enclosed transport as an option, you may want to work with a company that specializes in enclosed transport. This is particularly true if you are shipping an antique, high-end sports car, or luxury vehicle,. See the Enclosed Car Shipping section of MoveCars.com to find these specialized car shipping companies.
