Single Car Enclosed Transport

Single Car Enclosed Transport - Isolated Car Shipping

When it comes time to move your vehicle from one place to another, peace of mind comes from knowing it’s protected every mile of the way. This is especially true for high-end cars—whether it’s brand-new, a luxury model, or an irreplaceable classic.

That’s where single-car enclosed transport comes in.

By choosing this premium method, you’re taking the extra step to safeguard your investment and ensure your vehicle arrives in the same pristine condition it left in.

What is Single Car Enclosed Transport?

Single car enclosed shipping is provided by using a smaller car trailer as pictured. It is normally done with a dually truck for pulling and supporting the weight of a one vehicle enclosed trailer.

Single-car enclosed transport means your vehicle travels alone in a fully covered trailer—shielded from weather, debris, and prying eyes. This premium method is the go-to choice for luxury, exotic, and classic cars where maximum protection is non-negotiable.

Why Choose Single-Vehicle Enclosed Transport?

1. Maximum Safety & Peace of Mind

Single-car enclosed shipping delivers the highest level of protection available. Unlike open trailers, your vehicle rides in a fully enclosed environment, shielded from harsh weather, flying debris, road dust, and even the risk of vandalism. It’s the preferred choice for owners of luxury, exotic, and collector cars who won’t compromise on safety.

2. Advanced Features for Extra Protection

This premium service isn’t just about walls and a roof—it’s about specialized equipment designed to keep your car in showroom condition:

  • Hydraulic liftgates allow smooth, low-angle loading—ideal for low-clearance exotics.
  • Sealed, leak-proof flooring prevents exposure to fluids or contaminants.
  • Climate-controlled trailers maintain stable temperatures, protecting sensitive finishes or interiors.
  • Custom electronic track flooring locks your vehicle in place, eliminating unwanted movement during transit.

The Cost of Exclusive Shipping

Several factors influence the price of single-car enclosed transport, including vehicle size, distance, pickup and drop-off locations, trailer type, and scheduling urgency.

On average, you can expect this level of service to cost about double the price of standard open transport. Since your car is the only vehicle on board, pickup windows may also require a bit more flexibility—but in return, you gain unmatched privacy, exclusivity, and protection.

FAQ:

Q. Is Single Car Enclosed Transport Available?

The answer is, it depends. The business of shipping cars is based on numbers. So, when a carrier is taking vehicles from one location to another they are looking for more than just one to maximize the profit that they could make per route. As a result, it could be very difficult to find a carrier that will take all by itself. If you are a very popular route, we can screen carriers and attempt to hold one for one that will have the vehicle ride alone.

Q. Is it worth Holding Out for Single Car Enclosed?

A. In our experience a vehicle traveling on an enclosed trailer with other cars going with it does not pose any extra risk of damage or inconvenience. The vehicle may however arrive slightly quicker because there are no others to pick up or drop off along the way. If a multilevel carrier is used, they will have barriers protecting yours (if below) from leaks or other fluids, which is common in classic cars.

Q. Are Multiple Car Trailers for Enclosed Transport Safer?

A.Some may argue the larger trucks provide extra safety as these larger trailers are almost like a rolling fortress. Larger Enclosed Transport trucks hold up to 6 vehicles, sometimes more.
