What's the difference between enclosed and open auto transport?
+
Open transport carries your car on an exposed multi-car trailer — the standard, lower-cost option most cars ship on. Enclosed transport encloses the car in a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, road debris, and prying eyes, and typically costs meaningfully more. For most exotics, supercars, and collector cars, enclosed is the right call.
How much does it cost to ship an exotic or luxury car?
+
There's no flat rate — price depends on distance, enclosed vs. open, whether you want a single-car (not shared) trailer, ground clearance and liftgate needs, declared value, season, and route demand. Because every high-value move is different, we quote per job rather than publishing a number. Tell us the car, the route, and your dates and we'll send a tailored quote.
How long does it take to ship a car door-to-door?
+
As a rough guide, short moves under about 500 miles usually take 1–2 days, and cross-country runs take about 5–9 days, since carriers cover roughly 300–500 miles a day. Enclosed transport can add a few days to scheduling because there are fewer enclosed carriers. We'll give you a realistic window for your route when we quote.
Are you a carrier or a broker — and does that matter?
+
We coordinate transport rather than own a fleet of trucks: we match your car to vetted, DOT/FMCSA-registered, insured carriers and manage the job end to end. Because we run a luxury and exotic rental operation, we know these cars and pick carriers accordingly — liftgate, soft straps, single-car trailers — instead of handing you off to a call center.
How do you load a low-clearance or lowered car onto the trailer?
+
For low, lowered, or aero-heavy cars we arrange carriers equipped with hydraulic liftgates (no steep ramps) and soft nylon straps instead of chains, and we can specify a single-car or dedicated trailer. Tell your coordinator the car's ground clearance and any modifications up front so we match the right equipment.
Is my vehicle insured during transport, and for how much?
+
Yes. We verify that each carrier we assign carries active cargo coverage appropriate to your car's value before it's loaded, and enclosed carriers typically carry higher limits than open haulers. For very high-value cars we'll confirm declared-value coverage as part of the quote.
Do you ship to and from Chicago, Tampa, and Los Angeles — and in snowbird season?
+
Yes. We're door-to-door nationwide, and Chicago, Tampa, and Los Angeles are our home hubs, so we tend to have more carrier capacity and faster scheduling on those lanes — including seasonal Chicago ↔ Florida moves. During the snowbird rush (southbound in October/November, northbound in March/April), book earlier, since enclosed capacity tightens quickly.
