Luxury cars deserve luxury trucks.
A new Porsche 911 GT3 has a front lip that scrapes on a steep driveway. Putting it on a 9 car open trailer means ramp angles that gouge that lip, rocks from the truck ahead chipping the paint, and rain spotting clear coat that just got polished. None of that happens in an enclosed trailer with a lift gate.
We dispatch carriers who do nothing but high value cars. They use soft straps over the tires, never over the suspension. They wear cotton gloves. They photograph every panel before loading. They know which trailers have hydraulic lift gates and which ones have ramps, and they pick the right one for your car.
Whether you bought a Bentley at Pebble Beach, you are taking delivery of an Aston from a dealer in Greenwich, or you are sending an AMG to a buyer in Miami, we route enclosed by default and quote open only on request.
Why luxury owners use Whipshipper
We do not run discount carriers on six figure cars.
Enclosed by default
Every luxury quote routes enclosed first. Open is available on request, but we tell you why we recommend against it.
Lift gate loading
Hydraulic lift gates, not ramps. Zero angle on the front lip, zero risk to splitter and chin spoiler.
Soft straps over the tires
Never over the suspension, never frame straps, never anything that can mark your wheel wells.
Two car or solo trailer
Two car enclosed for cost, solo for true white glove. Both are dedicated luxury carriers, not mixed loads.
Climate control available
For long hauls in summer or winter, climate control keeps leather, electronics, and fluids in spec.
Insurance to value
Standard carrier policies cover up to $250,000. For higher values, we line up high limit policies before pickup.
Solo vs two car enclosed
Both protect the car. Pick based on budget and priority.
Solo enclosed
- One car per trailer, dedicated dispatch
- Lift gate loading, climate control standard
- Direct lane, no detours, fastest transit
- Best for $200k plus cars and collector vehicles
- Recommended for show cars heading to events
- Premium pricing, books out 1 to 2 weeks
Two car enclosed
- Two cars, dedicated luxury carrier
- Lift gate or ramp, soft tie down
- Some lane sharing, slightly longer transit
- Best for luxury daily drivers and recent purchases
- Recommended for $50k to $200k cars
- Mid premium pricing, books out 3 to 7 days
Prep your luxury car
Standard prep plus a few luxury specific items.
Quarter tank of fuel
Carrier rule. Less weight, less risk. Top off after delivery at the station you trust.
Disable the auto trunk
Some cars have proximity trunks that open during loading. Turn it off in settings.
Set ride height to high
If your car has air suspension or magnetic ride, set the highest setting for loading. Driver knows what to do.
Pull aftermarket plates
Front and rear plate frames sometimes catch on tie down points. Remove before pickup if practical.
Cover the interior
Most carriers bring soft covers. If yours is bespoke, supply the cover and the carrier will use it.
Photograph every angle
Time stamped photos including wheels, splitter, mirrors, roof, inside. Carrier does the same at pickup.
Luxury volume by the numbers
Real volume, real protection.
