What Is Enclosed Car Transport?
If you’re shipping a luxury, exotic, or classic car and need the highest level of protection, enclosed auto transport is your best option. Unlike open trailers that carry 7–10 cars, enclosed carriers typically transport 3–4 vehicles, ensuring extra care and attention.
Your car remains fully covered and protected from weather, debris, and potential damage throughout the journey. With Sheik Transport, you can move your vehicle safely, discreetly, and with complete peace of mind.
Open and enclosed differences
Enclosed Car Hauler | Open Car Hauler | |
Capacity | Enclosed Car Haulers use smaller, fully covered trailers that typically carry up to 4 vehicles at a time. | Open Car Haulers use uncovered multi-level trailers that can carry 9 to 10 vehicles, depending on size and weight. |
Protection | Enclosed Car Haulers offer full protection from weather, road debris, dust, and other external risks. Your vehicle remains completely shielded at all times. | Open Car Haulers provide partial protection, as vehicles are exposed to outdoor conditions and road debris during transit. |
Efficiency | Enclosed car haulers can take longer to load and are also more expensive and less fuel-efficient. | Open Car Haulers are easier to load, more cost-effective, and offer greater availability, making scheduling faster and more flexible. |
Average Cost | $1,000 – $2,450 | $550 – $1,600 |
Average Cost Per Mile | $0.90 – $1.70 | $0.60 – $1.10 |
When should I use Enclosed Car Transport?
It is a fact that open car transport is the most common and cost-effective method on the market. However,if your vehicle is rare, valuable, or particularly delicate, enclosed shipping is the clear choice.
Before shipping in an enclosed carrier, ask yourself the following questions:
- Is your vehicle a luxury, exotic, or classic car?
- Has your vehicle been customized or modified?
- Are you concerned about exposure to weather or road debris?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, enclosed transport is the right service for you.
