Enclosed car shipping is a high-end vehicle shipping service that keeps your vehicle fully covered in an enclosed trailer during shipping. This shipping method shields your vehicle from rain, wind, road hazards, and other elements—ideal for luxury, exotic, classic, or high-end cars. AmeriStar offers insured, door-to-door enclosed car shipping in the USA for complete peace of mind.

Yes. Enclosed car shipping provides better protection by having your car fully covered from the outside world. As opposed to open carriers, enclosed trailers are not exposed to rain, dust, UV, and debris—making them the best for precious vehicles such as sports cars, collectibles, and exotic models

Enclosed car transport is usually 30–50% more than open trucking because of added protection and limited carrier supply. Prices depend on distance, vehicle, route, and season. To provide an exemple, transporting a luxury sedan 1,000 miles can cost $1,200–$1,800. Ask AmeriStar for their free quote for competitive, dependable prices.

Enclosed shipping is recommended for vehicles requiring special attention or are very valuable. They are:

• Old or vintage cars
• High-performance luxury cars

• Customized buildings or remanufactured cars

If your car is worth over $70,000 or has sentimental value, then the best option would be enclosed shipping.

In fact, AmeriStar's enclosed car shipment service provides comprehensive insurance protection during transportation. Your car is protected from possible damage, theft, and unexpected incidents, thus providing you with utter peace of mind. You can also ask for proof of this coverage before booking a reservation.

Transport times for enclosed auto shipping are generally 1–7 days, depending on distance, route, and carrier availability. Because enclosed carriers maintain a more selective schedule, pickup may be slightly longer than open shipping but delivery is rapid, safe, and efficient.
