Frequently asked questions

Have questions? Browse through the topics below to find what you need about Covered Vehicle Transport.

How Does Covered Vehicle Transport Work?

Auto transport companies move vehicles inside fully enclosed trailers to shield them from the environment. Drivers use specialized ramps or hydraulic lift gates to load cars onto the carrier deck. Once inside, workers secure the vehicle with soft tie-down straps to prevent shifting during transit. This method keeps the car clean and discreet.

What Is The Main Benefit Of Choosing Covered Car Shipping?

Covered transport provides a protective barrier against road debris, weather elements, and sunlight. Enclosed trailers prevent rock chips, rain, and snow from reaching the vehicle surface. This service also offers increased privacy and security by keeping the car out of public view. Most providers suggest this option for high-value or delicate vehicles.

What Factors Influence The Cost Of Covered Auto Transport?

Price depends on the vehicle size, transport distance, and current fuel rates. Covered transport typically costs 30 to 60 percent more than open-air shipping due to specialized equipment and lower trailer capacity. Seasonal demand and the choice between hard-sided or soft-sided trailers also impact the final quote.

Is Covered Transport Slower Than Open-Air Shipping?

Delivery timelines are usually similar to standard shipping, though scheduling a pickup might take longer. Fewer enclosed trailers operate nationwide compared to open carriers, which can limit immediate availability. Most providers deliver vehicles within five to ten days for cross-country routes, depending on weather and road conditions.

How Should A Vehicle Be Prepared For Enclosed Shipping?

Owners must wash the exterior to allow for an accurate condition inspection before loading. The gas tank should be approximately one-quarter full to reduce weight while allowing for necessary movement. Most providers require the removal of all personal items and the deactivation of car alarms. Checking for fluid leaks ensures the trailer remains clean.

Do Auto Transport Companies Conduct Inspections For Covered Moves?

Drivers perform a thorough walk-around inspection at both pickup and delivery to record any existing imperfections. This information is documented on the bill of lading, which acts as an official condition report. Comparing the vehicle to this document at the destination ensures any new damage is identified for insurance purposes.

What Insurance Coverage Applies To Covered Vehicle Transport?

Carriers maintain cargo insurance to protect vehicles against physical damage, theft, or fire during transit. Many auto transport companies offer higher liability limits for covered loads to reflect the value of premium inventory. Owners should verify the specific coverage amounts and deductible details before signing a contract.

Is Covered Transport Safer For Low-Clearance Vehicles?

Most enclosed trailers feature hydraulic lift gates that keep the vehicle level during loading and unloading. This equipment prevents the undercarriage and bumpers from scraping on steep ramps. Auto transport companies use these specialized systems to safely handle exotic supercars and custom vehicles with minimal ground clearance.

Can Inoperable Cars Be Moved Via Covered Transport?

Many carriers can ship non-running vehicles if the trailer is equipped with a winch. The car must still be able to steer and roll to be pulled onto the carrier deck safely. This service typically requires an additional fee to cover the extra labor and specialized equipment needed for the loading process.

Does Covered Shipping Include Door-To-Door Delivery?

Most providers offer door-to-door service where the driver picks up and delivers at the specified addresses. If a large enclosed trailer cannot navigate narrow residential streets, the carrier coordinates a meeting at a nearby accessible location. This ensures the vehicle is handled minimally between its origin and destination.
