Why luxury and exotic car shipping is different
Shipping a luxury vehicle differs from shipping a normal sedan. Exotic and luxury cars have special requirements that call for specific tools and skilled technicians who are aware of the delicate and valuable nature of these vehicles. These vehicles frequently have:
- Reduced ground clearance
- High-performance tires
- Particular characteristics and modification
- High-end paints and finishes
To protect your car from weather, road debris, and other factors, Wimple uses enclosed auto transport. Our drivers are skilled in handling these kinds of cars, and they will use liftgates, custom loading ramps, and soft straps to make sure your car is loaded, moved, and unloaded safely.
Open vs. enclosed transport for luxury and exotic cars
Enclosed car transport (Recommended for most luxury cars):
Enclosed trailers offer your car the best protection possible while being transported because they are completely covered. For expensive, rare cars that require protection from the weather and road debris, this is perfect. Your car will be protected inside from elements that could harm its finish, such as weather, dirt, and salt.
We strongly advise enclosed transport for cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Rolls-Royce to guarantee they reach their destination undamaged.

Open car transport (For sturdy, durable high-end cars):
Although open transport is frequently used for regular cars, it can also be used for luxury cars that are more resilient and do not require the superior protection of an enclosed carrier. Although open transport is the most economical choice, it exposes your vehicle to the weather, which makes it less suitable for rare or highly customized models.
See open transportAdvice: It is always safer to use enclosed transportation if your vehicle is a low-clearance model or has a custom finish.
What to expect from luxury and exotic car transport
1) Customized prices and quotes
We are aware that each exotic or luxury vehicle is different. The following criteria will be used to tailor your quote:
- Make, model, and condition of the vehicle
- Route and distance (metro-to-metro is less expensive than rural routes)
- Open or enclosed transportation open and enclosed
- Windows for pickup and delivery
- Extra services, such as special equipment (liftgates for low-clearance cars) or expedited shipping
Our staff provides you with an upfront quote that is free of any hidden costs.
2) Experienced, licensed, and insured drivers
We designate carriers who have expertise moving exotic and high-end automobiles. Every one of our drivers has a DOT/MC license and insurance to handle expensive cars. You can feel secure during the shipping process by asking to see the carrier's insurance coverage.
3) Dedicated advisors and real-time updates
Your committed advisor will keep you updated at every stage of the procedure. Your advisor will arrange for pickup, transit updates, and drop-off information from the time of initial booking until delivery. To ensure you're never in the dark, you'll get proactive updates on the estimated time of arrival for your car.
4) Specialized equipment and handling
To load and unload low-clearance vehicles safely and without scraping, we utilize liftgates and specially designed ramps. Wheel nets and soft straps are used to secure the vehicle without harming the body, suspension, or tires.
How much does luxury and exotic car shipping cost?
A luxury or exotic car's shipping cost is determined by a number of factors, such as:
Distance
The cost increases with distance. Shipping from one coast to another usually costs between $1,000 and $2,500.
Vehicle Type
Expensive sports cars and rare collectibles frequently need enclosed transportation, which raises the price by 20% to 50% compared to open transportation.
Locations for Pickup and Delivery
Travel routes between large cities are typically less costly than those to more isolated locations.
Time of Year
When there is a greater need for transportation, such as during the summer or holidays, shipping prices may increase.
For example:
- • New York to Los Angeles (Enclosed): starting at $1,250
- • Miami to Chicago (Open): $950
- • San Francisco to Florida (Enclosed): starting at $1,500
Tip: Having flexible dates can help you get a better deal, particularly during off-peak times.

Road conditions and the distance between the pickup and delivery locations affect shipping times. Following pickup, the following timelines are typical:
500 to 1,000 miles: about 2 to 4 days
1,000 to 1,800 miles: about 3 to 6 days
2,000 miles or more: about 5 to 8 days
Remember that longer routes with fewer carriers may take a little longer, particularly if you're traveling to a remote or difficult-to-reach location.
How to prepare your luxury or exotic car for shipping
Making the necessary preparations guarantees the timely and safe delivery of your vehicle. Take these actions:
Before shipping, make sure the car is clean from the inside out so we can properly check its condition.
Take pictures of your car from all sides, making sure to get close-ups of any damage. The condition at delivery will be contrasted with these pictures.
Take personal belongings out. Personal belongings are typically not permitted in cars while being transported by most carriers.
Maintain a ¼ tank of fuel. In terms of weight and safety, this is perfect.
Make sure the vehicle is in good operating order and look for leaks. Tell your advisor if the vehicle is unusable so that we can arrange for a winch or other special equipment.
Insurance, licensing, and safety
Insurance coverage is included with every luxury and exotic car transport, guaranteeing your car's complete protection in the event of damage while in transit. Liability and cargo insurance are usually included in the standard coverage, but for extra peace of mind, you can always ask for a higher limit.
Pro tip: Make sure to confirm the current coverage limits and ask your advisor about the carrier's insurance details.
