Shipping Every Kind of Vehicle
What changes for each vehicle type, and what to tell us so the quote is right the first time.
Open transport
The standard way to ship a car: on a multi-car open trailer, the kind you see on the highway.
What changes: The most carrier options and the lowest price. The car is exposed to weather and road dust, as it would be when driven.
Tell us: Year, make and model, and whether it has any modifications.
Enclosed transport
The car rides inside a covered trailer, protected from weather and road debris.
What changes: Fewer cars per trailer, so it costs more and has fewer pickup dates. Exotic, classic and high-value cars go to our sister brand, MilestoneBlack.
Tell us: Why you want enclosed, and any ground clearance or loading needs.
Inoperable vehicles
A car that doesn't start or can't be driven onto the trailer.
What changes: It needs a carrier with a winch and more loading time, which adds to the price. It must still roll, brake and steer.
Tell us: That it doesn't run, and whether it rolls, brakes and steers.
Electric vehicles
Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid cars and trucks.
What changes: EVs are heavier than similar gas vehicles, which affects which trailers and positions fit.
Tell us: That it's electric and the model. Leave enough charge to drive it on and off the trailer.
Oversized and lifted
Full-size pickups, lifted trucks, vans and vehicles with roof racks or oversized tires.
What changes: Extra height or width limits where the vehicle can ride on the trailer, and may need a different trailer. It usually costs more.
Tell us: The modifications and, if you can, the vehicle's height and width.
Low clearance
Lowered cars, sports cars and anything with a low front splitter.
What changes: Steep trailer ramps can scrape a low car. It may need a trailer with longer ramps or a liftgate, which can affect the price and dates.
Tell us: The ground clearance and any body kit or splitter.
