First class airline cabin -- fly while your car ships
The smarter way

You Fly First Class. Your Car Ships First Class.

Skip the road trip. Protect your investment. Arrive rested.

Why ship instead of drive?

Driving Your Exotic Cross-Country Is the Most Expensive Option

Most people assume driving is "free." It's not. When you factor in odometer depreciation, tire wear, fuel, hotels, food, road risk, and 40+ hours of your time, driving a high-value vehicle cross-country costs more than shipping it -- and exposes your investment to thousands of miles of road hazards.

The math is simple: ship your car enclosed, book a first-class flight, and arrive at your destination rested with your vehicle in pristine condition. Your car keeps its value. You keep your sanity.

40+ hrs

miles added

Zero Miles on Your Vehicle

A cross-country drive puts 2,500-3,000 miles on your odometer. Every mile driven reduces resale value, accelerates tire wear, and increases the risk of road damage -- rock chips, highway debris, windshield cracks. Shipping keeps your odometer exactly where it is.

100%

road risk removed

Eliminate Road Risk Entirely

6 million car accidents happen on U.S. roads every year. That's 16,000 per day. Driving your high-value vehicle cross-country exposes it to every one of those risks -- distracted drivers, construction zones, severe weather. An enclosed carrier removes your car from the road entirely.

40+

hours saved

Get Your Time Back

A coast-to-coast drive takes 40-45 hours of windshield time across 4-5 exhausting days. That's time away from work, family, and life. Ship your car and fly to your destination in 5 hours. You arrive rested. Your car arrives pristine.

5

hour flight vs 5 day drive

Arrive Stress-Free

No white-knuckle interstate merges in an unfamiliar city. No hunting for hotels that let you park a $200K car safely overnight. No anxiety about that semi truck riding your bumper in a construction zone. You fly first class. Your car ships first class. Everyone arrives in perfect condition.

$3-5K

value preserved

Protect Your Investment

A 3,000-mile road trip can reduce your vehicle's resale value by $3,000-$5,000+ between odometer depreciation, tire wear, and potential road damage. The cost of enclosed shipping is often less than the depreciation you'd suffer driving it. Shipping isn't an expense -- it's value preservation.

0

bugs, chips, or road grime

Arrive Show-Ready

No 3,000 miles worth of bug splatter baked onto your front end. No highway rock chips in your paint. No road salt eating at your undercarriage. Your vehicle arrives in exactly the condition it left -- detailed, pristine, and ready to drive.

Why enclosed transport

Your Vehicle is Not a Commodity. We Don't Treat It Like One.

Open transport is perfect for everyday vehicles. But when you're shipping a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, or any vehicle that represents significant financial and emotional investment -- enclosed transport is not optional. It's the standard.

Scott's enclosed carriers are purpose-built for high-value vehicles. Every detail -- from the hydraulic lift gates that eliminate ramp angles, to the soft wheel straps that never contact your paint, to the climate-controlled interior -- is designed to deliver your vehicle exactly as it left.

Fully Enclosed Protection

Your vehicle is completely shielded from road debris, weather, UV exposure, bird droppings, and dust. The trailer walls and roof create a sealed environment.

Hydraulic Lift Gates

Zero-angle loading for vehicles with 3-4 inches of ground clearance. The lift gate lowers to the ground -- no ramps, no scraping, no risk to low splitters or front lips.

Soft Wheel Straps

Soft nylon wheel nets secure your vehicle without touching the paint, body, or trim. No chains, no hooks, no contact with your vehicle's finish.

Fewer Cars Per Carrier

Enclosed carriers transport 2-6 vehicles vs. 1-10 on open carriers. Fewer vehicles means more space, more careful handling, and individual attention to each car.

$750K+ Cargo Insurance

Every carrier in our enclosed network carries a minimum of $750,000 in cargo insurance. For vehicles valued over $500K, we arrange supplemental agreed-value coverage.

Experienced Handlers

Enclosed transport drivers specialize in high-value vehicles. They understand low-clearance loading, proper tie-down points, and the care your vehicle demands.

Hydraulic lift gate loading a low-clearance exotic sports car with zero ramp angle

Hydraulic Lift Gate Loading

Platform lowers to ground level -- zero angle, zero risk of scraping low splitters, diffusers, or front lips.

Low-clearance specialists

Why Lift Gates Matter for Exotic Cars

Most exotic supercars have 3-4 inches of ground clearance. A standard carrier ramp at 15-20 degrees will scrape the front splitter, diffuser, or undercarriage of a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, or any low-slung sports car. This is not theoretical -- it happens every day with carriers who aren't equipped.

Scott's enclosed carriers use hydraulic lift gates that lower flat to the ground. Your vehicle drives straight on at zero degrees. No angle, no risk, no damage. Period.

Insurance & protection

Your Vehicle's Value Is Fully Protected

Every enclosed carrier is verified for cargo insurance before we dispatch them with your vehicle. For high-value exotics, we go further -- arranging supplemental agreed-value coverage so your vehicle's full worth is protected.

Included with every shipment

Standard Enclosed

$750,000

Every carrier in our network. Covers most luxury vehicles up to $750K in declared value. No additional cost.

Enhanced Coverage

$1,000,000+

For vehicles valued $500K-$1M. Supplemental agreed-value policy arranged before dispatch. Nominal surcharge.

Ultra-High-Value

Custom

For vehicles over $1M. Bespoke coverage through specialty insurers. Dedicated single-car transport with full agreed-value protection.

Your personal collector car insurance also applies

If you carry collector car insurance through Hagerty, Grundy, American Collectors, or similar -- your policy typically covers your vehicle during professional transport. Check with your insurer to confirm coverage extends to third-party carrier transit.

How it works

Ship Your Luxury Vehicle in 3 Steps

Step 01

Tell Us About Your Vehicle

Share your vehicle make, model, year, and any modifications (lowered suspension, wide body, aftermarket parts). We use this to match the right enclosed carrier -- lift gate equipped, correct interior clearance, and soft-strap compatible.

Vehicle details determine carrier match
Modifications affect loading requirements
Photos help us plan the safest approach
Step 02

We Match an Enclosed Specialist

Your coordinator hand-selects a carrier from our enclosed network -- not a dispatch board. Every carrier is verified for $750K+ cargo insurance, hydraulic lift gates (if needed), soft wheel straps, and a clean FMCSA safety record. You receive carrier details, driver contact, and real-time GPS tracking.

Hand-matched, not dispatch-boarded
$750K+ insurance verified pre-dispatch
Driver name, number, and GPS shared
Supplemental coverage arranged if needed
Step 03

White-Glove Pickup & Delivery

Your vehicle is loaded via hydraulic lift gate (zero-angle for exotics) or low-angle enclosed ramp, secured with soft wheel straps, and transported in a climate-protected enclosed trailer. Full condition report at pickup and delivery. Your deposit is charged when the carrier is confirmed -- the price locked at booking.

Prepare Your Luxury Vehicle for Enclosed Transport

Proper preparation ensures the smoothest possible experience. Follow this checklist before your carrier arrives.

01

Wash and detail your vehicle -- a clean surface makes the pre-transport inspection thorough and accurate

02

Photograph every angle in natural light: all four corners, roof, undercarriage, wheels, and any existing imperfections

03

Remove all personal items, electronics, aftermarket accessories, and anything not bolted to the vehicle

04

Leave fuel at 1/4 tank or less -- reduces weight and meets carrier safety requirements

05

Disable aftermarket alarms, tracking kill-switches, and any device that could drain the battery or trigger during transit

06

Fold mirrors inward and retract antenna if applicable -- protects against enclosed trailer wall contact

07

Check tire pressure and inflate to manufacturer spec -- properly inflated tires prevent flat-spotting during transit

08

Provide one working key to the driver (a valet key is ideal for exotic vehicles)

09

Note any pre-existing damage, modifications, or special handling instructions in writing

10

If your vehicle has lift/raise suspension mode, set it to the highest position for loading clearance

Air Freight

Fastest option for urgent international moves

Your vehicle is loaded into a specialized air freight container and flown directly to its destination. Air freight is the premium choice for time-sensitive moves -- delivering a newly purchased supercar from Europe, relocating for an international assignment with a tight deadline, or shipping to an overseas car show. Every vehicle is fully enclosed in a climate-controlled container with custom bracing.

Ocean Container (RoRo & Enclosed)

Cost-effective for international and overseas moves

Ocean shipping offers two methods: Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) where your vehicle drives onto the ship, or enclosed container shipping where your car is loaded into a private 20ft or 40ft container. For luxury and exotic vehicles, we exclusively recommend enclosed container shipping -- your vehicle is sealed in its own container with no exposure to salt air, other vehicles, or port handling.

Private enclosed container -- your vehicle ships alone
No salt air, no shared space, no port-side exposure
Customs clearance and destination port handling included
Full marine cargo insurance with agreed-value coverage

5 Things to Know Before Shipping a Luxury or Exotic Car

The details that separate a flawless experience from a stressful one.

01

Enclosed carriers book faster -- reserve 2-3 weeks early

There are significantly fewer enclosed carriers on the road compared to open carriers. While open carriers are widely available within 1-5 days, enclosed transport typically requires 3-7 day scheduling and benefits from 2-3 weeks advance booking, especially during peak seasons (January-March for snowbird routes, summer for show car season).

02

Your carrier's insurance should match your vehicle's value

Standard carrier cargo insurance covers $750,000 per load, not per vehicle. If you're shipping a vehicle worth over $500,000 as part of a multi-car load, the per-vehicle coverage may not fully cover a total loss. Scott's arranges supplemental agreed-value coverage for high-value exotics -- ensuring your specific vehicle's full declared value is protected.

03

Not all enclosed carriers have hydraulic lift gates

Some enclosed carriers use low-angle ramps rather than hydraulic lift gates. For vehicles with 5+ inches of ground clearance (most luxury sedans, SUVs), a low-angle ramp works fine. But for supercars with 3-4 inches of clearance (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Ford GT), a hydraulic lift gate is essential. Always confirm your carrier is lift gate equipped if your vehicle is low-clearance.

04

Condition reports are your legal protection -- don't skip them

The Bill of Lading (BOL) completed at pickup and delivery is a legal document. It records every scratch, ding, and imperfection on your vehicle before and after transport. For high-value vehicles, also take your own timestamped photos and video before the carrier arrives. In the rare event of a damage claim, these documents are your proof.

05

Beware of lowball enclosed quotes -- they almost always increase

A common tactic in the auto transport industry is quoting an unrealistically low enclosed rate to win your booking, then raising the price 2-3 days before pickup claiming 'market conditions changed.' Legitimate enclosed transport has real costs -- fuel, specialized equipment, insurance, and driver experience. If a quote seems 30-40% below the market, it's likely bait-and-switch. Scott's ScottPrice Lock eliminates this entirely.

FAQ

Luxury Car Shipping Questions

Enclosed luxury car shipping averages $1.30-$1.90 per mile depending on vehicle size and requirements. A 1,000-mile enclosed shipment runs $1,300-$1,900. Exotic supercars requiring lift gates add 10-20%. Single-car dedicated enclosed transport for ultra-high-value vehicles ranges $4,000-$6,000 coast-to-coast.

Enclosed carriers transport 2-6 vehicles vs. 1-10 on open carriers -- fewer vehicles per load means higher cost per vehicle. Additionally, enclosed carriers have specialized equipment (hydraulic lift gates, soft straps, climate systems), higher insurance premiums, and drivers who specialize in high-value vehicles.

Every carrier in Scott's enclosed network carries $750,000+ in cargo insurance. For vehicles valued over $500,000, we arrange supplemental agreed-value coverage before dispatch. Your personal collector car insurance (Hagerty, Grundy, American Collectors) also typically covers professional transport -- verify with your insurer.

Yes -- this is exactly what our enclosed carriers with hydraulic lift gates are designed for. The lift gate lowers flat to the ground, allowing vehicles with 3-4 inches of clearance (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Ford GT) to drive on at zero degrees. No ramp angle, no scraping risk.

Yes. We coordinate transport to Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, SEMA, and every major event. Event-deadline scheduling ensures your vehicle arrives show-ready. We recommend booking 3-4 weeks before your event date.

Multi-car enclosed carriers transport 2-6 vehicles in a shared enclosed trailer. Single-car (dedicated) enclosed means your vehicle is the only one on the trailer. Single-car is recommended for vehicles over $1M or when you need guaranteed scheduling. It costs 60-100% more than multi-car enclosed.

Enclosed pickups typically take 3-7 days to schedule due to fewer available carriers. Transit times match open transport: under 500 mi = 1-3 days, 500-1,000 mi = 3-5 days, 1,000-2,000 mi = 5-8 days, coast-to-coast = 8-12 days.

Yes. Non-running vehicles require carriers with winch or forklift capability. This is common for classic car restorations and barn finds. A $150-$300 surcharge typically applies. Let your coordinator know the vehicle's condition when requesting a quote.

Wide body kits, lowered suspension, oversized wheels, and performance modifications all affect transport requirements. Provide full details when booking -- modifications may affect carrier selection, loading method, and pricing. Photos are extremely helpful for our coordination team.

Every carrier in Scott's network is verified for valid FMCSA operating authority, $750K+ cargo insurance, clean safety record, and experience with high-value vehicles. We share the carrier's name, MC number, driver contact, and insurance certificate before dispatch so you can verify independently.
