Enclosed car transport moves a vehicle inside a fully covered transporter rather than on an open trailer, protecting it from road debris, weather and prying eyes. CityGrip provides enclosed, insured, door-to-door transport for classic, prestige, supercar and other high-value vehicles across London and nationwide, with careful low-angle loading and a fixed price agreed before you book. Call 07960 200253.
Open transporters are fine for everyday cars, but a classic, a supercar or a freshly restored show car deserves better than a motorway's worth of stone chips, salt and rain. Enclosed transport carries the vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielded from the elements and from view, which is why collectors, dealers, restorers and auction houses insist on it for anything rare or valuable.
Our enclosed service is built around care: gentle low-angle loading for cars with minimal ground clearance, soft straps that protect wheels and bodywork, secure fastening, and a driver who understands how to handle a car that is worth protecting. Every move is fully insured for high-value vehicles and the car's condition is documented in detail at collection and delivery.
Enclosed transport does cost more than an open trailer, but for the right car it is money well spent: one deep stone chip or a coat of winter road salt can cost far more to put right than the difference in transport, and for a rare or freshly painted car the risk simply is not worth taking. It is why auction houses, insurers of high-value vehicles and manufacturers moving press and demonstrator cars specify covered transport as standard.
We collect from London homes, private garages, dealer showrooms, restoration workshops, auction houses and events, and deliver across the capital or anywhere in the UK, including to shows, concours events and ports for onward shipping. Tell us the vehicle and the two addresses and we will quote a fixed price.
Vehicle transport FAQs
What is enclosed car transport?
Enclosed car transport carries your vehicle inside a fully covered transporter rather than on an open trailer, protecting it from stone chips, road salt, weather and view. It is the standard choice for classic, prestige and high-value cars.
Why use enclosed transport for a classic or prestige car?
Because a single motorway journey on an open trailer can expose valuable paint to stone chips, salt and rain. Enclosed transport removes that risk, keeps the car clean and dry, and keeps a valuable vehicle out of sight in transit.
Can you transport low supercars with little ground clearance?
Yes. We use low-angle loading and, where needed, low-loading transporters so cars with minimal ground clearance are loaded without scraping. Tell us the make and model and we will bring the right equipment.
Is a high-value car fully insured in enclosed transit?
Yes. Enclosed moves are covered by goods-in-transit and liability insurance suitable for high-value vehicles, and we document the car's condition in detail at both collection and delivery.
Can you deliver to a car show, concours or track day?
Yes. We time delivery and collection to fit the event schedule so your car arrives when it needs to and is collected afterwards, covered and protected both ways.
Can you move a non-running classic or project car?
Yes. We can winch a non-running or project car gently into an enclosed transporter and deliver it to a restorer, buyer or new owner. Let us know it does not run when you request a quote.
How much more does enclosed transport cost than open transport?
Enclosed transport typically costs more per mile than an open trailer because it uses a specialist covered transporter and takes fewer cars at a time. For a valuable or freshly painted car the difference is usually far less than the cost of repairing stone chips or salt damage. We quote a fixed enclosed price up front so you can compare.
Can you deliver my car to a port for shipping abroad?
Yes. We deliver enclosed to the UK vehicle ports, including Southampton, Tilbury and Sheerness, and to shipping agents, and we provide a documented condition record at handover for your records and the shipping company.
