Classic & collector transport
Enclosed transport for classic, collector, antique, luxury and exotic vehicles. The risk with a collector car is not the highway — it is the wrong trailer, the wrong straps, or a cargo policy that does not reach the car's value.

A modern car that takes a stone chip gets a touch-up. An original-paint collector car that takes a stone chip loses originality that cannot be restored. That asymmetry is why enclosed transport, documented tie-down points and verified coverage limits stop being optional at a certain value.
Not every collector vehicle needs the same service. The deciding question is simple: would road exposure on this car cost more than the premium to avoid it? For most of what we move, the answer is yes.
| Vehicle | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Driver-quality classic | Enclosed | Original paint is the value; exposure is the risk. |
| Concours or numbers-matching | Enclosed with liftgate | Loading angle matters as much as cover. |
| Exotic, low clearance | Enclosed with liftgate | Standard ramps scrape front splitters. |
| Late-model luxury | Enclosed | Protects finish and keeps the car out of public view. |
| Non-running restoration project | Enclosed with winch | Declare rolls, steers and brakes separately. |
| Auction purchase | Enclosed, booked before the sale closes | Lot storage fees start almost immediately. |
Every collector shipment is quoted against the specific vehicle, its ground clearance, its running condition and its declared value. Coverage limits are confirmed in writing before booking, not after.
Most collector car damage traces to decisions made before loading rather than to anything that happened on the road.
Cargo insurance carries a stated limit written for ordinary vehicles. A collector car can exceed it. Ask for the coverage figure in writing and compare it against a current valuation, not what you paid.
Classics frequently lack standardised strap locations. Identify the correct frame or suspension points, photograph them, and state explicitly what must not be used — bumpers, trim and brightwork are not strap points.
Low vehicles are damaged on the ramp, not the highway. Give the clearance and front overhang at booking and confirm whether a liftgate or low-angle ramps are coming.
