Don’t Risk Your Car! Why Enclosed Auto Transport is a Must in MD

Not all car shipping services offer the same protection. While standard tow operations work for some cars, valuable classics and luxury vehicles demand safer handling. Open-air towing simply presents far more risks to your property to the point that enclosed auto transport offers a safer and more cost-effective option.
In addition to general junk removal and hauling services, Tyler’s Hauling specializes in loading and transporting a range of high-end cars across the state. Our team leverages the proper equipment and specialized skills to ensure that your car transportation is completed efficiently and safely.
If you value your car and want to maintain its value, you’re going to want enclosed vehicle transportation services. In our post, we’ll drive into why this is the case by covering: 
  • What is enclosed auto transport?
  • Enclosed vehicle transportation VS standard vehicle transport
  • Key considerations for auto transport 
  • When to choose enclosed auto transport for your car
  • What makes Tyler’s a go-to auto transport service

What is Enclosed Auto Transport?

Enclosed auto transport, or enclosed auto hauling,  relies on loading a car into a trailer equipped with solid walls, a ceiling, and a floor to provide full-scale protection during delivery.

The Differences Between Enclosed Vehicle Transportation VS Standard Vehicle Transport

Standard vehicle transportation and enclosed car shipping services essentially have the same objective, but go about it in different ways and with different equipment. Here’s what to know.

Enclosed Vehicle Transportation

  • More expensive than standard car shipping services, but with more safety benefits. 
  • Vehicles are sheltered from weather, road debris, and potential thieves. 
  • Due to the secure container, the risk of scratches, dents, paint damage, and wheel/tire damage to your car is significantly reduced. 
  • Enclosed vehicle transportation offers higher insurance coverage for specialty vehicles.
  • Vehicles are handled with more care by professional movers experienced with high-value or classic vehicle transport techniques.
  • As a niche market, smaller enclosed vehicle transport services like Tyler’s Hauling offer personalized rates to save you money while offering better service.

Standard Vehicle Transport (Open-Air)

  • Standard vehicle transport and towing options are cheaper than enclosed car shipping.
  • Because your vehicle isn’t covered, it’s exposed to weather, road debris, and could be targeted by potential thieves. 
  • Standard towing/transport increases the chance of scratches or related damages, which could lead to significant repair costs depending on your vehicle. 
  • Vehicles might be stacked or loaded close together, depending on the chosen service, which can increase damage risks as well. 
  • Standard vehicle transport services do offer insurance options, but are often more limited compared to enclosed hauling.
  • Vehicle movers might not be equipped or prepared to deal with luxury vehicle transport or the safe handling of specialty cars, posing risks to your investment. 
  • Towing is typically ideal for everyday, less high-end vehicles because the risk to these cars is more acceptable.

Key Considerations for Auto Transport

The details are very important when it comes to auto transport deals. While pricing is a key consideration, your biggest decision factor should be the safety and preservation of your car.  If your vehicle is sentimental, customized, or extremely valuable, investing more money to ensure that it doesn’t suffer any damage is definitely worth the higher rate. Due to the greater protection offered by enclosed trailers, the risk of damage to transported vehicles is less than 1% of vehicles. On the other hand, if your vehicle isn’t an antique or particularly special, standard towing could be a good alternative.

When Should I Choose Enclosed Auto Transport for My Car?

Choose enclosed auto transport for your vehicle transportation if your car is truly valuable to you, a custom, luxury, or classic vehicle that’s extremely expensive. Imagine if your luxury vehicle transport goes wrong and your deeply personal dream car is damaged. Not only would you have to refrain from driving it for a while during its repair, but you’d likely have a high auto shop bill. If it’s a classic car, even relatively mild damage could result in $2K+ in vehicle repairs. For more luxury or specialty car brands, damage repairs could be extremely high. Tyler’s vehicle hauling team is aware of up to $20K worth of damage occurring to vehicles without proper protection in place. If your car is customized, a high-performance vehicle, or an antique, there’s a strong chance that if damaged, repairs might not be complete. You might be looking at a significantly devalued car. And that’s not considering the potential loss of special characteristics from your prized vehicle. Enclosed auto transport is the best way to ensure none of this happens.
