Single-car vs. multi-car enclosed
Two equipment types, picked based on vehicle value, ground clearance, and timing.
Single-car enclosed
Dedicated trailer for one vehicle. Used for ultra-high-value cars (Bugatti, Pagani, Koenigsegg), one-off concours pieces, modified exotics with unusual dimensions, and any shipment requiring single-handler chain of custody.
- · Capacity: 1 vehicle
- · Climate-controlled, hydraulic liftgate
- · Premium: ~50–80% over multi-car enclosed
- · Best for: $500K+ vehicles, concours condition, post-restoration
Multi-car enclosed
4–8 vehicles per trailer with soft tie-downs and individual stalls. The standard for most exotic, luxury, and classic shipments. More cost-efficient without sacrificing protection.
- · Capacity: 4–8 vehicles
- · Climate-controlled, individual loading stalls
- · Cost: standard enclosed rates ($1.30–$3.80/mile)
- · Best for: most exotic, luxury, and classic shipments
