Extremely low clearance
Many exotics can't climb standard carrier ramps without scraping, so liftgates are essential.

Exotic Car Shipping Experts
Exotic and supercar owners need specialized transport. Very low ground clearance, wide bodies, and six-figure values mean these cars usually travel in hard-sided enclosed trailers with hydraulic liftgates.
Haulin.ai matches exotic shipments with enclosed carriers that have liftgates, soft-tie securement, and insurance limits suited to high-value vehicles.

Why Is Exotic Car Shipping Different?
Very high values
Many exotics exceed standard carrier insurance limits, so you need carriers with higher per-vehicle coverage.
Hard-sided protection
Hard-sided enclosed trailers offer the most protection from weather, debris, and prying eyes.

Exotic Car Shipping FAQs
Have another question? Ask Tessa →
How much does it cost to ship an exotic car?
Enclosed exotic car shipping typically costs about $1,250–$1,800 for a 1,200-mile route and $1,800–$2,600 cross-country.
What's the difference between hard-sided and soft-sided enclosed?
Hard-sided trailers have solid walls and roofs; soft-sided trailers use heavy curtains. Hard-sided offers more protection and is preferred for exotics.
Do I need a liftgate?
For most exotics, yes. A liftgate raises the car into the trailer level so it never climbs a ramp.
Is my exotic car fully insured?
Every carrier on Haulin carries cargo insurance, but limits vary. Confirm the per-vehicle limit covers your car's value before booking.
Can I get a dedicated single-car carrier?
Yes. Single-car enclosed transport is available for an added cost and offers the most 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.
How can I track my shipment?
