What makes it different

Most overseas car shipping uses roll-on/roll-off vessels, where the car is driven aboard by port staff and parked in an open deck. For valuable vehicles we recommend containers instead: the car is loaded and secured by our agent and the container is sealed until it reaches destination.

We coordinate the domestic enclosed leg, port delivery, export documents, the ocean freight and destination agent, so there is one point of contact from your garage to the arrival port.

Common questions

Questions on this service

If yours is not here, calling is faster than waiting on an email. A coordinator picks up, not a menu.

Shared enclosed transport typically runs $450–$1,050 for short regional moves and $1,650–$2,700 coast to coast. A dedicated single-vehicle truck is roughly double. Route, season, vehicle size and timing all move the number, and your coordinator confirms an exact rate before you commit.

An enclosed trailer carries two to six vehicles instead of eight to ten, uses more expensive equipment such as lift gates, and carries higher cargo insurance. You are paying for fewer cars per truck and a meaningfully higher level of protection.

Yes. We quote what specialist carriers are actually accepting on your lane, not a low number designed to win the booking. Nothing is added at pickup. If your details change, such as a non-running vehicle or a new address, we re-quote before dispatch.

A booking deposit secures your carrier once one is assigned. The balance is typically due at delivery. Business accounts can be set up on net terms.

Every carrier we assign holds active cargo insurance, which we verify on the load, not from a profile. For high-value vehicles we match the carrier's cargo limit to your declared value, with $1M+ policies available. Your own policy may also provide cover; it is worth checking.
