Enclosed Auto Transport
Hard-sided, climate-aware protection for luxury, exotic, classic and collector vehicles. Zero exposure to weather or road debris.
Enclosed auto transport: maximum protection for high-value vehicles
With enclosed transport, your car rides inside a hard-sided or soft-sided trailer, fully shielded from rain, hail, sun, road debris and prying eyes. It's the choice of collectors, dealerships and manufacturers moving vehicles where even a rock chip is unacceptable.
Horizon enclosed carriers are typically 1-car to 6-car trailers equipped with hydraulic liftgates (no steep ramps), soft nylon straps over the tires, and drivers who specialize in high-end cars.

How much more does enclosed transport cost?
Plan on 40–60% above the open-carrier price for the same route. Single-car dedicated enclosed service costs more; multi-car enclosed is the most economical enclosed option.
Is enclosed shipping slower?
Slightly, because there are fewer enclosed trucks on the road. Expect 1–3 extra days of lead time for pickup. Transit time once loaded is the same.
Do enclosed carriers have liftgates?
Most in our network do. If your vehicle has low ground clearance, tell us at booking and we'll guarantee a liftgate-equipped trailer.
