When your vehicle needs more than standard protection, enclosed car shipping is the best option for you. In case you are transporting a classic car, luxury sedan, sports car or high-end electric vehicle, enclosed auto transport shields your vehicle from road debris, weather and dust along the way.

At Baltimore Car Transport, we provide reliable and professional covered auto transport using enclosed car carriers operated by experienced drivers. From start to finish, your vehicle is handled with the best care possible.

Why Choose Enclosed Car Transport?

Enclosed auto shipping is the preferred method for customers who want maximum safety and protection. Here is why this service is special:

  • Total Protection: Vehicles are transported inside a car transport enclosed trailer, fully sealed on all sides, so there is no exposure to rain, snow, dirt or debris.
  • Ideal for High-Value Cars: Best for exotic, luxury, classic or collector vehicles.
  • Insurance Included: Every enclosed vehicle transport includes insurance coverage for high-value shipments.
  • Special Handling: Carriers are trained to handle low-clearance and specialty vehicles with lift gates and soft tie-downs. This is white-glove service from start to finish.

If your car is more than just a daily driver, covered car shipping offers the highest level of care and security.

How Enclosed Auto Transport Works

  • Request a Quote: Get your enclosed car shipping quote online or by phone. We will be happy to discuss options and timelines with you.
  • Vehicle Pickup: Our enclosed car transporter arrives at your location (or dealership, showroom, auction, etc.), and a detailed inspection is performed before loading. Because you are shipping a high-value vehicle, we recommend you take detailed photos of your car for your own record. You will need those records in case you file a damage claim in the future, although damage with enclosed car transport is extremely rare.
  • In Transit: Your vehicle is secured in an enclosed car carrier and protected from all outside elements. We keep you updated throughout the journey. There are usually only 1-2 vehicles shipped in an enclosed carrier at a time.
  • Delivery: Upon arrival, we perform a final inspection and deliver the vehicle to your doorstep.

We make enclosed carrier auto transport easy, efficient and tailored to your needs.

When to Choose Enclosed Auto Shipping

You should opt for enclosed carrier transport if you’re shipping:

  • Classic, vintage or antique cars
  • Supercars or luxury models
  • Collector’s vehicles or museum pieces
  • Cars with custom paint, wraps or bodywork
  • Low-clearance or performance-tuned cars
  • Modified and custom vehicles
  • High-value electric or imported vehicles.

If you are not comfortable with your vehicle traveling in bad weather, you should also opt for enclosed car transport services. This service is usually 30%-40%, sometimes 50% more expensive than open vehicle shipping due to extra safety and carrier availability. Note that during peak seasons car transport rates tend to go up.

Open car transport is more budget-friendly and overall safe, but it doesn’t offer the full protection that enclosed auto transport provides. If your vehicle is a huge financial or emotional investment, then go ahead and choose covered exotic car transport.

Is enclosed vehicle transport the safest car shipping option?
Yes, enclosed vehicle transport is the safest method of shipping a car. Your vehicle is fully covered on all sides and protected throughout the journey. Additionally, all shipments include insurance coverage for complete safety.
 
There are specialized enclosed trailers that haul only one car for maximum protection. Some larger enclosed car haulers can fit as many as eight vehicles.
 
Yes, for specialized vehicles that need extra protection. The higher cost is justified by the prevention of potential loss of thousands of dollars in damage from dings, scratches and outside exposure.
 
If you are planning to ship two cars, you will need a min. 32-foot long trailer. As for the width, 82″ is the standard width for most carriers, but there is also 102″ width configuration for extra-wide vehicle models.

 

 

 

We generally use two main types of enclosed car carriers: soft-sided and hard-sided trailers. Hard-sided trailers have aluminum or steel walls to provide the highest level of protection against weather and debris. Soft-sided trailers have a weather-resistant tarp covering the sides, which offers partial protection. For the most valuable vehicles, we recommend hard-sided trailers.
