Transporting a luxury, exotic, or collector vehicle is a different experience from shipping an everyday car. Your Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, classic muscle car, or any vehicle worth $50,000+ deserves specialized handling, maximum insurance coverage, and a carrier with the expertise and equipment to protect it. This guide covers everything you need to know about premium auto transport.
White Glove Auto Transport
For ultra-high-value vehicles (over $200,000), dedicated trailer service — sometimes called "white glove" transport — places your vehicle as the sole occupant of a fully enclosed, climate-controlled trailer with a specialized driver. While it costs significantly more ($2,500–$5,000+ coast to coast), it provides the absolute maximum protection and personal attention your vehicle deserves.

When to Book Snowbird Transport
This is the most critical decision for snowbird shippers. The Florida-bound (southbound) rush begins in October and peaks in November–December. The return trip northbound peaks in March–April. During these peak periods, prices increase 15–25% and carrier availability tightens significantly.
• Southbound (fall): Book in September for October–November departure
• Northbound (spring): Book in February for March–April return
• Off-peak bookings in August–September or January–February get the best rates
