What is Classic Car Transport?
Classic Cars often require special attention for auto transporters, and we have the means and knowledge to get the job done the right way. There are a couple of different ways to transport vehicles, and each involves a different sort of transport vessel. Amongst these distinctions are Open and Enclosed Carriers. The open carrier is by far the most common sort of shipping vessel on the road. When you see tractor trailers hauling cars on the freeway, they do so via open carriers. The enclosed carrier is less common and harder to recognize. If you have a classic or exotic vehicle, you’ll definitely want to ship it on an enclosed trailer to ensure its safety.
How much does Classic Car Shipping cost?
The average cost to ship a classic car is generally $500.00 to $2,000.00 higher than the open carrier.
