Benefits of choosing enclosed car transport

Double Safety

It can be risky to transport a vehicle without the benefit of a cover. Thieves can quickly get to it when the trailer is under parking, and the driver is resting. Besides, your car may be exposed to all manner of elements, such as road hazards and inclement weather, which could damage it. Not to mention a traffic collision that might occur, causing even more damage. Remember, the more expensive your vehicle is, the costlier the repairs will be.

Our enclosed car shipping stands out as a major theft deterrent since a thief will have difficulty figuring out how to access the enclosed trailer first. Besides, our enclosed trailers only ship a few vehicles at a go, which minimizes the number of breaks a driver can take, reducing the chances of someone stealing your cargo.

We further protect your car from damage. Our enclosed auto shipping provides maximum protection against unfavorable weather, road debris, and accidents as the trailer shields your vehicle with four walls, a floor, and a roof.

Better Coverage

Only a few car carriers would be willing to obtain more cargo coverage and liability insurance than what’s mandated to operate legally. We offer sufficient insurance for all our covered car shipping services to guarantee added safety during shipping. We furnish you with a shipping quote that is fully insured, and we vet each carrier to ensure that they comply with our strictest insurance standards. That’s to imply that your luxury vehicle is covered against total loss or extensive damage while under our care.

Hassle-free Vehicle Transportation

We understand how stressful it can be to transport your vehicle safely to your preferred destination. That’s why at Ghost Pepper Logistics, we offer a fast, convenient, and cost-effective enclosed car shipping option for your vehicles. We will work closely with you to find the best option that works with your budget and timelines. Besides, we make arrangements for how your car will arrive at the front door of your house.

Specialized Services

By going for enclosed auto transport, you subject yourself to better treatment. All the people involved in our entire transportation process, from customer service agents and dispatchers to loaders and drivers, treat you and your vehicle with added respect and care.

On top of that, you can access more specialized services, like ramps or lift gates, that help load low-clearance cars into a trailer safely. We specifically use hydraulic lifts and horizontal loads to protect your vehicle from scrapes or dents.

Moreover, you can talk to a team of qualified specialists who can handle the shipping of custom, non-standard, and non-operational vehicles. It can be hard to find such services when shipping your car with an open trailer.

Superior Stability

As a top-rated enclosed car shipping carrier, we strive to protect our customers’ vehicles by all means. And that’s why we strap down cars with nylon straps rather than chains. Chains may require your car to have specific frame types and can be challenging to use. In addition, they may generate a lot of pressure that can negatively affect the suspension, increasing risks.

On the other hand, nylon straps are somehow flexible and minimize straining of the suspension. Since they are not attached directly to the frame, they rarely come into contact with anything apart from the tires. As a result, they protect your car from damage without the need to sacrifice stability during transportation.

Route Flexibility

Ghost Pepper Logistics can organize and accommodate your car delivery on numerous routes and destinations. We boast a wide range of fully-enclosed, multi-tiered car trailers, which enables us to choose for you a trailer size that can easily take tight corners, maneuver overpasses, and fit on smaller roads. This makes it possible for us to deliver a door-to-door service on your shipment. If it is not possible to deliver your car to your front door, you can arrange with our driver to meet at an accessible, nearby location.

Yes, it is necessary that someone comes to accept and release the vehicle, give our driver keys, and sign both the initial and final car inspection reports. If you are not available, you can send anyone of the right age you trust to accept or release your car.

The driver can deliver your car safely to your doorstep. However, we understand that some cities restrict the movement of large trucks in residential areas. Also, due to the large size of our transport trucks, accessibility to certain delivery and pickup locations maybe be restricted by tight turns, narrow roads and streets, and low-hanging trees. In such scenarios, the driver may request you to meet at a specified location nearby with a sufficient parking lot.

Yes. We use hydraulic lifts or lift gates to load any vehicle with less than 4 inches of ground clearance onto the enclosed trailer.

Your car should have gas reaching nearly a quarter of the tank if it is going to be driven onto the trailer. This will be enough to facilitate the loading and unloading of the car on the carrier without adding extra weight.

Open-air transport is the most common and cost-effective car shipping method. On an open track, your car is transported alongside other vehicles, mostly 8-10 cars. You can also find smaller open carriers that can hold about 2-3 cars and are more suitable for local moves. The trailers have exposed sides, which gives external elements access to your vehicle.

With enclosed auto transport, your car rides in an enclosed trailer and is a perfect choice for shipping luxury, classic, and exotic vehicles. The shipping method provides maximum protection against exposure to external road elements. We suggest that you book your covered auto transport in advance to enable us to process your shipment in good time.

You must thoroughly clean your car both inside and outside. It will enable the driver to efficiently conduct an inspection to determine any pre-existing damage on your car. It will be best also to ensure that you are not leaving any personal belongings in the car unless you plan to ship them with it. If that's the case, ensure the items don't exceed the specified weight. You might also want to notify the driver of any special circumstances with your car.

It will be easier for us to meet your time requirements if you make your booking in good time. We suggest you schedule your shipping about 2 to 3 weeks prior. Feel free to call us any time to discuss with our vehicle shipping experts about your options in regard to car transport scheduling.

We have the single-vehicle enclosed trailers which we use to transport a single automobile, especially luxurious or sports cars. The option works best for deliveries within short distances.

Another option is the single-level multi-vehicle trailer which can accommodate about 2 to 5 cars. These trailer types are ideal for both short and long distances. They have a faster unloading and loading time compared to the enclosed multi-level multi-vehicle carriers.

Multi-level multi-car enclosed trailers are large enclosed carriers with the ability to hold about six to eight cars at ago. Powerful semi-trucks usually haul these trailers, and most have adjustable deck ramps to load and unload cars.

It is worth noting that the various enclosed carrier types come either soft-sided or hard-sided. Soft-sided enclosed trailers feature PVC-coated vinyl side curtains in place of hard walls. Hard-sided trailers, on the other hand, mainly consist of aluminum and steel walls, offering ultimate protection to all the cars inside.
