Classic Car and Truck Transportation
Closed Car Transport
Overall Advantages:
Overall Disadvantages:
That’s one reason it’s at the top of our list for classic car transport.
If you search through these, you’ll see that the company isn’t usually in damage control mode.
- A company should be able to provide proof of insurance when you ask for it. Find out what damage it’ll cover and what parts you’ll have to cover yourself.
- This convenient option will save you the hassle of driving to a terminal to pick up your classic car.
- Sometimes important dates sneak up on you, and that means you have to get your car somewhere fast. Many auto transport companies offer expedited shipping for an additional fee.
- You should be able to communicate easily with the carrier.
Open Car Transport
Overall Advantages:
Overall Disadvantages:
The average cost to ship a classic car using an enclosed carrier typically starts at $3.40 per mile for shorter distances under 100 miles (and at $1.15 per mile for distances under 1,000 miles).
Many auto transport companies offer a cost calculator to help you determine a rough cost estimate for shipping a classic car.
- Carriers are liable only for damage that’s their responsibility — not unforeseen events over which they have no control. Check that your insurance is up to date and covers any damage your valuable car might take.
- Keep in mind that auto transporters do not have regularly scheduled dates of departure like airplanes or trains. They typically leave once their carrier has been fully reserved and filled with cars.
- Photos are especially useful to have so you have evidence of prior condition in case your car is damaged during transportation.
