Full protection from weather, road debris, and prying eyes. Hard-sided, liftgate-equipped carriers for vehicles that deserve extra care.
Fast, secure pricing in 30 seconds.
Enclosed transport puts your vehicle inside a fully sealed, hard-sided trailer, protected from rain, snow, road salt, gravel, sun, and the eyes of everyone on the highway. Enclosed carriers move fewer vehicles at a time, usually one to six, and the drivers who operate them specialize in high-value cars. Most enclosed trailers are equipped with hydraulic liftgates, so a low-clearance sports car is raised onto the deck flat rather than driven up a ramp.
Enclosed is the right choice when the cost of the vehicle, the condition of its finish, or simple peace of mind makes the extra expense worthwhile. It typically runs 40 to 60 percent more than open transport on the same lane.
Some carriers offer soft-sided (curtain) enclosed trailers at a slight discount. They protect from weather but less from road debris. We recommend hard-sided enclosed for anything valued above $100,000 or for vehicles with delicate finishes. Tell your dispatcher which you prefer; the quote tool prices hard-sided by default.
For the most valuable shipments, a dedicated single-vehicle enclosed carrier is available: one truck, one car, direct from your door to the destination with no other stops. It is the premium option and priced accordingly, but it offers the fastest transit and the least handling.
Enclosed carriers are fewer in number than open carriers, so pickup windows can be a day or two longer, especially outside major metro areas. From our New Jersey offices in Red Bank, Middletown, Princeton, and Cherry Hill, where enclosed demand is highest, availability is usually excellent. Every enclosed carrier in our partner network is verified for authority, safety record, and cargo insurance at limits appropriate to high-value vehicles; ask your dispatcher for the certificate.
Typically 40 to 60 percent more than open transport on the same route. A New Jersey to Florida shipment that costs around $1,000 open would run roughly $1,400 to $1,600 enclosed.
Enclosed carriers in our network generally carry cargo policies from $250,000 to $1,000,000 or more. Tell us your vehicle's value when booking so we match it with a carrier whose coverage is appropriate, and request the certificate before pickup.
