Frequently Asked Questions
Enclosed vehicle transport is a premium car shipping service that provides maximum protection by transporting your vehicle in a fully enclosed trailer. This method shields your car from weather, road debris, and other external elements.
Enclosed transport is ideal for:
- Luxury, exotic, and classic cars that need extra protection.
- Low-clearance vehicles that require specialized handling.
- Collectors and dealerships shipping high-value cars.
- Owners who want added security and peace of mind.
Enclosed transport typically costs 30-60% more than open transport due to the added protection and limited space. Prices vary based on:
- Distance
- Vehicle type and size
- Route demand
- Seasonal factors

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional Auto Carriers was assigned to transport our vehicle from New Orleans Louisiana to Washington state. They were in contact with us from the very start till the end of the transport. Our vehicle was not operable and needed extra attention and Al went above and beyond to ensure that our vehicle still made it to us. The vehicle is a classic car and very sentimental to our family. They spent an extra hour with us on the final delivery helping us get the vehicle securely parked. 5 stars all around and highly would recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. was nice working with themTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently shipped a total of four vehicles from Renton, Washington to Winter Garden, Florida using an open car carrier, split across two separate trips during the summer. In both instances, the transport process was smooth and issue-free. All the vehicles arrived in excellent condition, with only the expected road dust from a cross-country journey. One vehicle, positioned on the top of the carrier was covered with bugs on the back due to being rear loaded — which is completely normal for that placement. Working with Professional Auto Carriers (Al and Vlad) was a fantastic experience. They were professional, courteous, and consistently kept us updated with accurate delivery timelines. Communication was timely and transparent, and we always knew what to expect. Their pricing was very competitive, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. What they quoted is exactly what we paid. It’s rare to find a shipping company that combines affordability with reliability and great customer service, but Professional Auto Carriers delivers on all fronts. If you’re looking to transport a car — whether a single vehicle or multiple — I highly recommend Professional Auto Carriers. They took great care of our cars and made the entire process stress-free from start to finish.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did the job exactly as they said. Would definitely recommend and use again!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsive, helpful, and professional! Even got my car delivered early.

Al was my driver and did a fantastic job transporting my rare truck across country.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They shipped my car on time and it came in one peice and undamaged. My sister had an amazing experience and recommended them to me. Taking out the broker and going directly saved me 300 bucks! Who would have thought. Thank you AL!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Definitely professional in every aspect of a car transport! Quick, reliable, and they actually pick up on phone calls. What more do you need in a transport company? Al and Angel took care of my car and were really a pleasure to speak to the entire time.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down a great experience! I tried another shipping company and they jerked me around for a week after my scheduled pickup date…called Professional Auto and they were able to pick up at my door within 2 days! Bravo Zulu y’all!
