A classic car on its way to auction, a prototype to the trade fair, a new car with a six-figure list price: such vehicles do not belong on an open car transporter. With Speed Logistics' enclosed car transport, your vehicle travels in a fully enclosed premium trailer – protected from stone chips, weather, UV radiation and prying eyes. You receive the fixed-price quote within a few hours; we run Europe-wide and, on request, all the way to non-EU countries including customs clearance.
Enclosed transport is the first choice for collector vehicles, sports cars, prototypes and pre-series models as well as new vehicles that must arrive at the consignee without any transport marks. The only structural disadvantage: fewer vehicles fit in an enclosed trailer than on open double-deck transporters, so the price per unit is correspondingly higher – in return, every vehicle receives maximum protection and retains its value.
Protection that open transporters do not offer
- No stone chips, no weather: paint, glass and add-on parts stay untouched by grit, rain, hail and road salt
- No UV exposure: important for sensitive paintwork, wraps and the interior of collector vehicles
- Climate-stable conditions: the enclosed body buffers temperature fluctuations and condensation
- Discretion: prototypes, camouflaged test cars and high-value vehicles are never visible from outside
- Securing with soft padding systems: soft lashing over the wheel rim, padding boxes and trained handling prevent pressure marks
How the enclosed vehicle transport works
You give us the vehicle type, condition (drivable or not), pickup and destination location and the desired period. We dispatch the suitable enclosed trailer and coordinate the handover dates with both sides – on request as a fixed date, such as for the auction or trade fair start. On takeover, the driver documents the vehicle condition in a handover protocol with photos; loading takes place via flat drive-on ramps, also for lowered vehicles, and non-drivable vehicles we winch on with a cable. During transport the journey stays traceable via GPS tracking, and at the destination the documented handover takes place to authorised persons.
Insurance and value transport
Every enclosed car transport is insured; for high-value vehicles we agree the insured value individually before the start of the journey, so that the cover matches the actual vehicle value. Combined with our premium handling for sensitive goods, enclosed transport is thereby also suitable for one-off pieces, restoration objects and vehicles of collector value. For the value assessment, a current appraisal or the purchase receipt is usually sufficient; for especially valuable vehicles we agree cover and transport process with you in detail in advance – before the vehicle is moved.
Lanes: Germany, Europe, non-EU
We run enclosed car transports within Germany and across Europe as a direct run without reloading – for example to auctions, trade fairs, events or between sites. Non-EU lanes such as Türkiye or the Middle East are also possible including export and customs clearance, door to door from EXW to DDP. We give you the fixed price per lane bindingly in advance – call us on +49 (0)30 346 467 850. For dealers, auction houses and vehicle collections with regular transport needs we set up fixed processes: stored contacts, well-rehearsed handover procedures and agreed terms, so that every further transfer starts with a short phone call instead of a new round of coordination.
