Professional Nationwide Transport for Rare & Classic Cars

A classic car is never just a machine. It’s a preserved moment in history, a legacy on wheels, and a significant personal investment. Handing over the keys to a classic or vintage masterpiece requires more than a simple agreement—it demands absolute professionalism and trust. Our experienced team approaches every shipment with a standard of excellence, recognizing that your vehicle represents years of meticulous restoration and pride. We bridge the gap between logistics and delicate care by combining specialized expertise with a vetted nationwide network of enclosed carriers, providing maximum safety for your vehicle throughout its journey.

Our Special Approach to Classic Cars

[object Object]

Maximum Security Through Enclosed Transport - Every vehicle travels in a fully shielded environment, protecting it from road debris, unpredictable weather, and UV rays. This protection is the industry standard for preserving original paint and delicate exterior trim.

[object Object]

Expert Handling and Damage Prevention - We transport all types of classic cars—from auction acquisitions to barn finds to fully restored showpieces. Our experienced carriers use soft tie-down systems anchored to the tires, avoiding metal-to-metal contact and minimizing stress on aging suspension components and delicate chassis parts.

Vetted and Specialized Carriers Network -  A classic car should only be handled by professionals who understand its unique shipping requirements. We carefully vet every carrier in our network to verify their expertise with specialty vehicles, ensuring the driver behind the wheel is an expert in classic car transport.

Advanced Loading for Low Clearance Builds - Many classic cars have limited ground clearance that standard ramps cannot safely accommodate. We use hydraulic lift gates to keep your vehicle fully level during loading and unloading. This specialized equipment eliminates steep angles, preventing undercarriage damage, scraping, or unnecessary pressure on delicate suspension systems.

How Much Classic Car Shipping Cost

truck

Enclosed shipping for a classic car typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,500 for standard domestic routes. On average, you can expect to pay approximately $1.50 to $2.00 per mile for this premium level of protection.


However, your final quote depends on several factors:


Total Route Mileage: While the overall cost increases with distance, the rate per mile decreases on longer cross-country hauls.

Vehicle Size and Weight: Larger or heavier classic models command higher fees as they occupy more space and increase fuel consumption.

Current Fuel Prices: Market fluctuations in diesel costs directly impact carrier rates and may result in variable fuel surcharges.

Seasonal Demand: Prices often rise by 15% to 30% during peak summer months and holiday seasons when carrier availability is limited.

Operational Status: Non-running vehicles require specialized winching equipment and additional labor for loading, which adds to the total service fee.

Geographic Accessibility: Pickups and deliveries in remote or rural areas typically cost more than those in major metropolitan hubs due to extra distance and time required.

Urgency and Scheduling: Expedited delivery or guaranteed dates involve priority scheduling that can increase standard rates by 40% to 60%.

FAQs on Classic Car Shipping Service

It is highly recommended for high-value or restored vehicles because it provides complete protection from road debris, extreme weather, and UV exposure. Standard open transport leaves the vehicle exposed to the elements, which can damage original paint systems or delicate trim.
Transit times depend largely on the total distance: local moves take 1–2 days, cross-country trips typically take 5–10 days, and international shipping can range from 3–6 weeks. Factors such as route accessibility, seasonal demand, and weather conditions can also influence the final timeline.
Yes, you or a trusted representative must be present to release the vehicle, provide keys, and sign the Bill of Lading. This document is your official record of the vehicle's condition at both the start and end of its journey.
Our carriers use soft-tie down systems that anchor to the tires rather than the frame or axle. This professional method prevents metal-to-metal contact and avoids placing unnecessary stress on aging suspension components or fragile chrome finishes.
We utilize specialized enclosed trailers equipped with horizontal hydraulic lift gates to ensure your vehicle remains completely level during loading. This equipment is essential for protecting front splitters, exhaust systems, and undercarriages from the steep angles found on standard ramps.
We provide direct communication lines to the carrier and regular status updates throughout the journey.
Inform the driver during pickup and provide written instructions on how to disarm alarms, bypass kill switches, or reconnect battery cutoffs. This prevents issues during loading and unloading. If possible, temporarily disable complex systems before transport.
