​Shipping a classic car is an expensive service that can cost you more than necessary if you don’t know the perks about this transport. There are several factors that affect the price of your transport for you to get the service you need, it’s a costly service, yet not only meant for millionaires.

Although technology has evolved throughout the years and car companies bring out outstanding models every year, there is nothing like old classic models. The more the years pass these cars become more attractive to drivers. Cruising on “Eleanor” through a bridge in order to be “Gone in 60 seconds” just like Nicholas Cage is a lot of people’s day dream. In order to get this beauty safely to where you’re at you need it safely transported. Driving the distance on a car like this, although it must be a dream for any who touches this car, is not the most appropriate way to transport it. No matter how restored these cars may be, these are old cars that may not deliver as much as you wish. Repairing them may be very expensive and you will end up with a gorgeous piece of metal, that doesn’t run. Make sure you take careful thought on how you are going to transport your classic car in order to get it safely delivered without going bankrupt.

Although classic cars are very expensive, a simple scratch will through off their value by a couple thousands. Make sure you take the proper care to transport them without emptying out your wallet. As you probably already now, anything you want to preserve must be put away or covered, take this same life value with your classic car. In order to avoid any damage or unfortunate weather mistreatment, classic cars are required to be transported in enclosed carriers. Most companies will not even allow you to ship classic cars in open carriers; however there are some classic cars that are required to be shipped in open carriers, due to proper security measures.

Enclosed carriers are more expensive than open, as they offer secluded spaces for cars and protect them from weather conditions, insects, scratches and damages. A lot of people get thrown back by high prices compared to regular transport services, however what they do not realize is that these cars are worth every penny you pay, as repairing these bomb shells are no trip to a McDonalds dollar menu. Make sure you're aware of all the factors that will affect your cost, make sure you take them in consideration to break them down as much as possible, but still get a secure and proper service.
