What is classic car transport?
Classic car shipping (also referred to as exotic, luxury, expensive, or antique car transport) is an auto transport service designed specially for the owners of valuable vehicles such as exotic, luxury, classic, and sports cars. It’s a premium service that promises extra protection for your vehicle and total peace of mind.
How much experience does SGT Auto Transport have with providing classic car transport?
We have an excellent track record for providing safe, smooth, and secure classic car transport. We only work with the most professional classic car carriers and our compliance department checks each one before we add them to our network. This department is also responsible for checking that they all meet our very high insurance standards,specifically defined for such types of high value vehicles.
What is the safest way to ship a classic car?
The most popular auto transport service is open car transport. It’s affordable, quick, and easy to arrange. There is, however, a downside with this type of auto transport service, and that’s the level of protection provided for the vehicles. It is more than adequate for your average sedan, but owners of more valuable and expensive vehicles prefer enclosed auto transport. Because of the additional protection it provides you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your cherished possession is safe and secure throughout its journey.
How much does it cost to ship a classic car?
The cost of classic car transport services depends on several different factors. Smaller vehicles, for example, are cheaper to transport. Shorter distances also cost less. Other factors include the delivery time frame, condition of the vehicle and time of the year. If you choose enclosed auto transport it costs a little more, by around 30%-40%.

2016 Ferrari California
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
Luxury car transport is the service we provided for this red beauty when she needed to be shipped to her new home in Santa Monica, California. It was the first time this customer had ever shipped a car so he was a little nervous. We put his mind at rest and arranged a hard-side enclosed carrier for his baby. He was able to monitor the whole process to ensure the safe handling of his car.
2019 Porsche Panamera
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
When we provide exotic car transport, door-to-door service is one of the benefits. We delivered this Panamera right to the customer’s front door and it was there when he woke in the morning. He was understandably pleased when he saw his dream car and tipped the driver for a job well done.
2018 McLaren 720

1969 Buick LeSabre
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
An absolute classic deserves classic car transport and that’s what we provided for this beauty when the owner needed to ship it from the heart of Chicago to a restoration shop in East Bronx. The customer required no more than three cars on the trailer, so we arranged this as promised.
1970 Chevy Corvette
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
For this classic car transport, we were hired through uShip. The customer had a very tight timeframe for the pick-up and delivery. He required a pick-up within 24 hours because he wanted to be there to see the car get loaded and complete the inspection report himself. The shipment met his expectations and passed with flying colors.
2017 Porsche Panamera
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport

Lamborghini Huracan
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport

Bentley Continental
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
The previous luxury car transport carrier canceled on the customer at the last minute, so we jumped in to help. He found us late on a Friday afternoon but had a special requirement to arrange his transportation over the weekend due to time restrictions. It took seven days to ship this vehicle from Boston to Seattle.
Monster truck
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
We delivered this vehicle to the Monster Truck Show in North Carolina. As you can clearly see, the dimensions were a little unusual, so we arranged a single car carrier or flatbed.

Audi R8
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
A photo of the moment of delivery always makes us proud of the exotic car transport service we provide. The customer took this photo of the carrier as he unloaded his new R8. Right after the picture, the customer jumped into the new car to take a ride in the city. To say thanks, he sent us a bottle of wine.
1957 Triumph
Proudly shipped by SGT Auto Transport
1957 Triumph TR3 was afforded the luxury of antique car transport when the client hired us on uShip. This was a challenging pick-up as the seller of the car had owned it for the last 60 years. We successfully loaded the vehicle and delivered it to its new home.

2. We pick up your vehicle
A few hours before your scheduled pick-up time, your assigned carrier will get in touch to confirm the details. They also need to confirm that the pick-up location is safe and legal for large commercial vehicles. If it’s not, don’t worry. You can agree upon an alternative location, such as a wider street nearby, where you work, or in a parking lot, if necessary. They also require confirmation to make sure someone is available to release the vehicle. If you can’t be there, you can nominate a third -party to act on your behalf. Consider asking a neighbor, friend, family member, or work colleague.
Before the carrier loads your vehicle onto the classic car transport trailer, you first have to examine it along with the driver, checking for any existing damage. Make a record of this on the Bill of Lading, before you sign. You’ll be given a copy of this important document that you must keep safe.
Now all the paperwork is complete, you can say goodbye to your precious baby and they will load it very carefully onto the trailer. Even though you know the carrier will treat your car with respect, that might not stop you worrying. For your peace of mind, you can contact the driver at any time during the journey, so you can check on your vehicle’s progress. You’ll also receive regular updates by email, Live Chat, or phone.
3. You receive your vehicle
You’ll receive another phone call from your assigned carrier when your classic car is almost home. With a few hours notice, you can make sure you’re available to accept delivery of your car. Don’t worry if that’s not possible, because you can nominate a third-party to accept delivery on your behalf. The only stipulation is that they have to be over 18 years of age. Think about asking a neighbor, friend, relative, work colleague, or acquaintance.
You get another chance to inspect your car when it’s delivered. This is just to make sure everything is in order. Finally, you sign the Bill of Lading to accept delivery of your car. If you opted for the Discounted Cash Price, you now have to pay the balance. You can make payment in cash, cashier’s check, or money order.
