WHAT IS CLASSIC CAR SHIPPING?
Classic car shipping is a specialized vehicle transport service designed for vintage, antique, and collectible automobiles that require enhanced care during transit. Instead of driving a valuable classic long distances, your vehicle is professionally transported using experienced carriers trained in handling high-value cars. Most classic vehicles are shipped using Enclosed Car Shipping for added protection, though Door To Door Car Shipping is commonly used to simplify pickup and delivery. This service is ideal for collectors, restorations, auto shows, and long-distance classic car relocations.
HOW LONG DOES CLASSIC CAR SHIPPING TAKE?
At Tiger Auto Transport, classic car shipping timelines are planned around distance, carrier availability, and the level of protection selected. Because classic and collectible vehicles are typically transported using Enclosed Car Shipping, transit times may differ slightly from standard open transport. Below is a realistic overview of what owners can expect when shipping a classic vehicle.
Typical Transit Windows
• Short & Mid-Range Moves: 3–7 business days • Long-Distance State-to-State Routes: 7–10 business days
- Classic vehicles often require specialized trailers and carefully scheduled routes. While this can extend transit slightly, it ensures proper handling and protection throughout the journey.
Sample Route Timelines
• Regional (Under 600 Mi): Georgia to Tennessee — Around 2 Days
• Mid-Range (600–1,400 Mi): Texas to Illinois — Approximately 4–6 Days
• Long Distance (1,800+ Mi): California to Florida — Typically 8–12 Days
Classic Car Shipping vs. Open Transport
While open car shipping often moves faster due to higher carrier volume, classic car owners typically prioritize safety over speed. Enclosed transport offers added protection from road debris and weather, making it the preferred option despite slightly longer delivery windows.
What Can Impact Delivery Time
- • Weather conditions or seasonal demand
- • Traffic congestion or route adjustments
- • DOT-regulated driver hours and rest periods
- • Pickup or delivery locations with restricted truck access
Tips to Avoid Delays
- • Reserve early during peak seasons like snowbird relocations
- • Stay flexible with pickup and delivery windows
- • Choose Door To Door Car shipping near accessible streets
