What Is Enclosed Shipping?

Enclosed international car shipping is a premium option for transporting vehicles across borders that offers the highest degree of protection and security. 

Vehicles are strategically placed inside specially designed containers or enclosed carriers, shielding them from all external elements and potential damage during transit. This is particularly popular for shipping antique, classic, or exotic cars, as it ensures they arrive at their international destination in pristine condition.

 While it comes at a higher cost compared to open shipping methods, the added protection and security make it a preferred choice for those seeking the utmost care and safeguarding of their vehicles during international transport.

Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo)

RoRo is a popular and cost-effective method for transporting vehicles internationally. In this process, vehicles are driven directly onto the ship's deck, secured in place, and then driven off to the destination.

Container Shipping

Container shipping is the preferred choice for those looking to provide their vehicles with the utmost protection during international transport. It involves placing the vehicle inside a secure, weatherproof container. This method is ideal for valuable, luxury, classic, or delicate vehicles, as it shields them from adverse weather, potential damage from flying debris, and even theft.

Air Travel

When time is of the essence, air freight offers the fastest international car shipping option. However, this speed comes at a premium cost. 

Each international car shipping option has its advantages and considerations, and the choice depends on factors like budget, the value of the vehicle, the urgency of delivery, and the level of protection desired.
