Both open and enclosed transport are reliable choices, but if you want the highest level of protection, enclosed transport is the way to go. With an enclosed trailer, your vehicle is fully shielded from weather, dust, and road debris throughout the journey—except during loading and unloading. That’s why high-value vehicles, including classic, luxury, exotic, and modified cars, are best transported in an enclosed carrier for maximum safety and peace of mind.
Enclosed transport follows the same pricing model as open car shipping, but you can expect to pay 10-40% more for the extra protection it provides. This added cost ensures your vehicle is shielded from weather, debris, and potential road hazards—making it the ideal choice for luxury, classic, and high-value cars. Want a personalized quote?

Choosing enclosed transport depends on your vehicle’s value and your comfort level with exposure to the elements. While both open and enclosed shipping are safe, enclosed transport is the preferred option for luxury, classic, exotic, and collector vehicles, as well as motorcycles, powersports, and lowered or modified cars.
If maximum protection is your priority, enclosed transport is the best choice. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, open transport still provides reliable service at a lower cost. Need help deciding? Get a quote from QuickCar and find the best solution for your vehicle!
