Why Anchor Down
What You Get With Every Enclosed Auto Transport Shipment
Fully Enclosed
Zero road debris, weather, or UV exposure. Ideal for show cars and long-haul luxury delivery.
Lift Gate Loading
Hydraulic lift gates for low-clearance and non-running vehicles. No risk of front-splitter contact.
Soft Strap Tie-Downs
Wheel nets and soft straps only — never over the frame or suspension.
Higher Insurance Limits
Enclosed carriers typically carry $250K–$1M in cargo coverage per vehicle. Additional coverage available on request.
About the Service
About Enclosed Auto Transport
Enclosed auto transport is the premium service tier — vehicles ride inside a fully enclosed trailer instead of on an exposed open carrier. It is the correct choice for exotics, classics, collector cars, low-clearance modifications, brand-new deliveries, and any vehicle where paint, aerodynamic hardware, or resale condition must be preserved.
Our enclosed carriers use hydraulic lift gates rather than ramps, eliminating the risk of splitter, valance, or exhaust contact during load. Vehicles are secured with wheel nets or soft straps — never chains over the frame or suspension. Most trailers accommodate 2–7 vehicles, with dedicated single-vehicle transport available on request.
Insurance limits are meaningfully higher than open carriers. Standard enclosed policies carry $250,000–$1,000,000 in cargo coverage per vehicle. If your vehicle exceeds those limits, we arrange supplemental coverage before dispatch.

FAQ
Enclosed Auto Transport — Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions customers most often ask us before booking a enclosed auto transport shipment. If you don't see yours here, call our dispatch team any time.
How much more does enclosed transport cost?+
Enclosed auto transport typically costs 40–60% more than open transport. On a coast-to-coast lane, this often works out to $600–$1,000 above the open rate. For a $150,000+ vehicle, the added protection is inexpensive insurance.
Do I need enclosed transport for a new car from a dealer?+
Not always. Most dealer trades and OEM deliveries move on open carriers — the same way vehicles reach the dealership. Consider enclosed for exotic, low-production, or extremely high-value units.
Can enclosed transport handle a low-clearance car?+
Yes. Our enclosed carriers use hydraulic lift gates rated for ground clearances as low as 3 inches. Notify your dispatcher of the exact clearance when booking so we assign the right trailer.
