Compromises On Care
HOW IT WORKS
The Journey Home
1. Inspection & Condition Report
Before your car leaves our care, our technicians complete a full photographic condition report and mechanical check, so there is an agreed record of exactly how it left us.
2. Custom Crating & Preparation
Convertibles are weatherproofed, batteries secured, and fluids checked. Each vehicle is wheel-strapped, never chained, inside an enclosed carrier or a bespoke crate for overseas moves.
3. Domestic Transport
An enclosed, climate-aware trailer carries your car to its port, showroom, or your driveway, with a single named driver for the entire route.
4. Ocean Or Air Freight
For international deliveries, vehicles travel in shared or exclusive-use containers, secured and monitored, by sea or, for time-sensitive moves, by air.
5. Customs & Documentation
Our brokers prepare the paperwork before your car ever leaves, including the title, bill of lading, and import duty estimates, so nothing waits at the border.
6. Final Delivery & Walkthrough
Your car arrives on a dedicated carrier, and we walk the condition report with you before you sign, the same ritual as the day it left.
CHOOSE YOUR ROUTE
Two Ways To Travel
Enclosed Domestic Carrier
Fully enclosed trailer with hydraulic lift-gate loading, so low classics never touch a ramp. Soft wheel nets, single named driver door to door, GPS tracked throughout.
- Best for moves under 1,500 miles
- Typical transit: 3–7 days
- Weather & road-debris protection
Global Ocean & Air Freight
Roll-on/roll-off or crated container shipping, with licensed customs brokerage in both the origin and destination country, and marine cargo insurance at full agreed value.
- Sea freight: 3–6 weeks typical
- Air freight: 5–10 days typical
- Full customs handling, both ends
Insured For What It Is Actually Worth
Standard carrier insurance rarely covers a numbers-matching classic. Every vehicle we ship is insured at its full agreed sale value for the entire journey, not a depreciated freight-line default, with coverage confirmed in writing before pickup.
- Agreed-value coverage
- Live GPS tracking
- Licensed customs brokers
- Named single driver, domestic
- Climate-aware transport
- Condition report, both ends
WHAT AFFECTS YOUR COST
Getting An Accurate Estimate
Every quote is built around four variables. Tell us these and we can give you a fixed price, not a range.
- Distance & route: port access and road distance both matter
- Enclosed vs. open transport: enclosed costs more, protects more
- Vehicle size & weight: oversized or heavy classics need larger equipment
- Timing & season: flexible pickup windows are less expensive than fixed dates
“They shipped our 1967 E-Type from the showroom to a buyer three states away. It arrived cleaner than when it left the workshop.”
