How enclosed transport works
Enclosed trailers typically carry between two and seven vehicles, often with soft straps rather than chains and, on many trailers, a hydraulic liftgate instead of ramps. That combination is what makes them suitable for low-clearance and collector vehicles.
Because each trailer holds fewer cars and the equipment is more specialised, enclosed capacity is more limited than open. On seasonal lanes into and out of Southwest Florida it is the first thing to fill up in peak months.
- Full protection from weather, road spray and debris
- Liftgate loading available for low ground clearance
- Soft-strap tie-downs to protect wheels and suspension
- Vehicle is not visible in transit
Who typically chooses enclosed
Owners of classic, collector, exotic and high-value luxury vehicles, anyone shipping a freshly restored or newly detailed car, and customers moving vehicles to or from northern states in winter, where salt and slush coat the highways.
Booking considerations
Give enclosed transport more lead time than open, particularly for October–December southbound and March–May northbound moves. Also confirm the delivery location can accommodate a longer trailer with room to lower a liftgate.
Best suited for
- Classic and collector vehicles
- Exotic and high-value luxury cars
- Low-clearance or modified vehicles
- Winter shipments where salt exposure is a concern
