Best Door-To-Door Luxury Car Shipping Services

Door-To-Door Luxury Car Shipping | Process & Procedure

Most of the vehicles shipped door-to-door are moved using an enclosed vehicle carrier, which works doubly well for customers transporting a luxury car. Standard car carriers are open-air and move multiple vehicles—sometimes up to 12 or more—at the same time. You’ve likely seen one driving on the highway stacked with several automobiles on two levels.

An enclosed carrier, alternatively, moves fewer cars at once, and they are completely covered in the truck's enclosed cargo area. Enclosed carriers usually move no more than four cars at once, and often just one or two.

At A-1 Auto Transport, we usually recommend enclosed transport for motorcars valued at or above $40,000, though that is ultimately up to the person having their motorcar shipped. As mentioned above, this is doubly true if you opt for door-to-door transport for a luxury automobile. The reason is that the vehicle is more protected, both from curious eyes and potential damages while in transit, and is easier to deliver to a specific address due to the smaller size of the car carriers.

Luxury Auto Delivery Timeframe

The delivery time for a luxury car isn’t much different from that for any other type of vehicle. Once the automobile is securely loaded onto the transport truck, the process moves forward like any other motorcar or truck.

To give you an idea of what to expect, most transport trucks can cover around 300 miles per day, depending, of course, on weather, road conditions, traffic, and other outside factors. A car shipped from coast to coast in the U.S. could take anywhere from 10 days to two weeks. Door-to-door transport is sometimes a little faster since the trucks carry fewer motorcars and can cover more distance in the same amount of time.

Types Of Luxury Vehicles

Regardless of your luxury car type, the transport process is the same. As mentioned above, most door-to-door shipping is done on an enclosed carrier, which we recommend for any luxury or high-end automobile. Here are some of the makes we most commonly arrange shipping for:

• Mercedes-Benz
• BMW
• Lexus
• Audi
• Cadillac
• Genesis
• Acura
• Porsche
• Jaguar
• Tesla

If you have a luxury brand vehicle that is a crossover, SUV, or larger than a standard car, some arrangements may need to be made for transport. For example, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz both have models that are larger and would require an enclosed carrier with more space in the cargo area.
