Luxury Car Shipping Experts
Luxury vehicles deserve more than a standard shipment. Owners of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Range Rover, and other high-end models usually want enclosed transport, higher insurance limits, and careful loading.

Why Is Luxury Car Shipping Different?
Higher insurance limits
High-value cars may exceed a standard carrier's per-vehicle coverage, so carrier insurance limits matter more.
Careful loading
Soft straps, wheel nets, and top-deck placement reduce the risk of scuffs and fluid drips from other vehicles.

Luxury Car Shipping FAQs
Have another question? Ask Tessa →
Is enclosed transport worth it for a luxury car?
For most luxury vehicles, yes. Enclosed transport protects the paint and finish from weather and debris for roughly 40–50% more than open shipping.
How much does it cost to ship a luxury car?
Enclosed luxury car shipping typically costs about $1,050–$1,550 for a 1,200-mile route and $1,550–$2,250 cross-country.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier on Haulin carries cargo insurance. For high-value cars, confirm the per-vehicle limit before booking and check your own policy too.
What is top-load shipping?
Top-load means your car rides on the upper deck of an open carrier, so no vehicles sit above it. It's a lower-cost way to add protection.
Can I get a single-car carrier?
Yes. Dedicated single-car transport is available on many routes for an added cost and usually means a faster, more direct delivery.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Haulin matches carriers with active cargo and liability coverage. Confirm policy limits for your vehicle before booking.
