Classic cars are more than just vehicles; they are rolling pieces of history, each with its own story and character. Whether you own a fully restored muscle car, a vintage European sports car, or a timeless American classic, ensuring its safe transport requires careful planning and expertise. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about shipping your classic car while preserving its condition and value.
Why Classic Cars Require Specialized Transport
Unlike modern vehicles, classic cars come with unique transport challenges:
Age and Fragility: Many vintage vehicles have delicate parts that require extra caution.
High Value: The rarity and historical significance of classic cars make them irreplaceable.
Customized Components: Some classics have custom-built parts that can be difficult to repair or replace if damaged.

This ensures transparency and proper handling throughout the shipping process.
How to Prepare Your Classic Car for Transport
To ensure a smooth shipping experience, follow these essential preparation steps:
Clean and Inspect the Vehicle
Wash your car to expose any existing damage.
Take high-resolution photos for documentation.
Remove Loose and Personal Items
Empty the trunk and interior of any personal belongings.
Remove custom accessories that could be damaged during transit.
Check for Leaks and Mechanical Issues
Ensure all fluid levels are appropriate, and fix any leaks.
If the car isn’t in running condition, inform the transporter so they can arrange special equipment for loading.
Disable the Alarm System
Prevent unnecessary disruptions by turning off any alarms before pickup.
What to Expect During Shipping
Once your classic car is picked up, here’s what happens next:
Careful Loading Process
Carriers use hydraulic lift gates or ramps to prevent undercarriage damage.
Soft straps secure the car without putting pressure on fragile areas.
Safe Transit
Enclosed trailers provide climate control and added protection.
Regular status updates keep you informed on your vehicle’s location.
Final Delivery and Inspection
Upon arrival, inspect your vehicle to confirm it’s in the same condition as when it was picked up.
Sign the Bill of Lading only after verifying the car’s condition.
