Should I ship my vehicle enclosed?
Deciding if you should ship your vehicle via enclosed transport depends on various factors such as the value of your car and your personal comfort level with potential exposure to the elements. Both open and enclosed transport are safe, although enclosed is the preferred choice for transporting collector vehicles and luxury, classic or exotic cars. This form of transport is also often used for motorcycles, powersports and lowered or modified vehicles.
Keep in mind that enclosed transport can be more expensive than open transport. If cost is a primary concern, open transport is a reliable and cost-effective option.
How long does it take to ship a car using enclosed transport?
The time it takes to transport a car in an enclosed trailer can vary depending on several factors, such as the distance of the journey, the specific route taken and overall weather conditions. For instance, if the transport is a short distance, say 1-200 miles, it could potentially be completed within 1-2 days. For medium routes (200-600 miles), it might take 2-4 days and for longer routes (1500+ miles), it could take 5 to 9 days. Please note that these are just general estimates and the actual time may vary.
