special car transport essentials for discerning owners
What makes it special
Special car transport serves vehicles that need more care than a standard carrier. Lowered suspensions, long wheelbases, delicate aero, and concours paint call for enclosed trailers, soft straps, and liftgates. Expect tighter schedules, driver checklists, and thorough condition reports before and after transit.
Choosing a provider
Look for enclosed equipment, cargo insurance limits matching your car’s value, and drivers trained on non-invasive tie points. A good carrier explains routes, weather plans, and how they prevent battery or alarm drain.
Preparation tips
- Document photos, mileage, and quirks the driver should know.
- Measure ground clearance; ask for a liftgate if ramps are risky.
- Secure splitters, spoilers, and loose parts; set transport mode.
- Confirm pickup windows and inspection steps at delivery.
Pricing is transparent: base rate, distance, enclosed premium, and any accessorial fees. Ask for ETA updates and a single point of contact. Done well, the experience is calm, predictable, and respectful of your car’s quirks.
