Open and enclosed carrier options
Not every car has the same transport needs, so we offer different carrier types to match your vehicle and budget. During booking we help you choose the option that balances protection and cost for your specific situation.
Open carriers
Open multi-car carriers are the most common and cost-effective choice for standard cars. Your vehicle is securely fastened on a dedicated carrier alongside others and transported on well-planned routes. This is the same method used to deliver new cars to dealerships, and it offers excellent value for most relocations.
Enclosed carriers
For luxury, premium or high-value vehicles, enclosed carriers offer an additional layer of protection from dust, weather and road debris. Fully covered transport keeps your car pristine and is the preferred choice for owners who want maximum protection for an expensive or sentimental vehicle.
How we keep your car safe
Damage-free delivery is the entire point of professional car transport, and it is the result of method, not luck. Every step of our handling process is designed to eliminate the risks that cause scratches, dents and mechanical issues during transit.
- Secure loading using wheel locks and soft straps that hold the car without stressing the body.
- Careful spacing on the carrier so vehicles never make contact during the journey.
- A documented condition report at pickup so the car's state is recorded before transit.
- Experienced drivers operating on planned, reliable intercity routes.
- Optional transit insurance for complete financial protection against the unexpected.
Tracking and door-to-door convenience
We keep you informed from pickup to delivery with regular status updates, so you always know roughly where your vehicle is and when it will arrive. For maximum convenience we also offer a door-to-door option, collecting the car from your home and delivering it to your new address wherever road access allows the carrier to reach.
Joint inspection on delivery
On arrival we carry out a joint inspection against the condition report taken at pickup, so both you and our team can confirm the car has travelled exactly as it should. This transparency is your assurance that the vehicle has been handled with genuine care.
What affects car transportation cost
Several factors determine a fair price for shipping your car. A clear, upfront quote means no surprises when your vehicle is delivered.
- Distance between the pickup and destination cities.
- Carrier type — open carriers cost less than fully enclosed transport.
- Vehicle size and type — larger SUVs occupy more carrier space than compact cars.
- Door-to-door pickup and delivery versus terminal-based handover.
- Optional transit insurance based on the declared value of the vehicle.
- Seasonal demand and route availability.
How to prepare your car for transport
A few simple steps before pickup help ensure a smooth handover and a problem-free journey.
- Keep the fuel tank around a quarter full — enough for loading, not so much that it adds weight and risk.
- Remove personal belongings, toll tags and valuables from the cabin.
- Note any existing scratches or dents and photograph the car before pickup.
- Disable any aftermarket alarm to avoid it triggering in transit.
- Share a spare key and ensure the handbrake and locks are working correctly.
