Most carrier drivers are car people at heart. It’s one reason why they love moving cars. These types will handle each vehicle with respect and diligence, and that’s especially true for classic automobiles. Everyone in this business understands the time and effort it takes to maintain and restore an antique vehicle, and we all enjoy the opportunity to see stock, custom and rare cars.
When you use an enclosed carrier, there aren’t any worries about road debris, dirt or scratches. It’s possible to use a single-car enclosed carrier for shorter trips, but multi-car enclosed trailers are generally used for longer ones. The multi-car enclosed trailers can haul about 7-9 cars, and we typically recommend their use for valuable automobiles. Available options include lighting and climate controls, while some of the larger trailers provide space for additional items you may need, such as room for spare tires or a place for car show trophies to be stored.
Some vehicles are just too nice to take a chance driving on the highway when you’re participating in a car show. If that’s the case, it’s no problem to coordinate with a carrier to meet you at a designated area of a show to drop-off a vehicle, or maybe even a few miles away so you can enjoy a short cruise to the event.
Another benefit of shipping a car with an enclosed trailer is the ability to completely clean and polish it at home. There’s typically no need to attempt a quick touch-up before the judges arrive since your car will be ready as soon as it rolls off the trailer. With an enclosed trailer, you don’t have to worry about insects, tree pollen, sap or bird droppings during transport, either.
If you’re looking to avoid the need for carrier drivers to reorganize vehicles in transit, one solution is to have your car club rent an enclosed trailer for all participants. This way, the trailer picks up all the vehicles at the same place and deposits them all together at the same time. You can check the odometers, there’s no reason for a driver to move them!
If you’re ready to determine what it will cost to ship your classic car, get an immediate list of quotes for the vehicle you want to ship. All we need to know is what kind of vehicle you want to ship, where it is now, where you want it to go, and the date you would like it picked up.
