Professional and Stress-Free Transport

Tiger Transport was recommended to me while shopping for an Auto transport company. Their quote was competitive but their process and personal communication was professional. I chose Tiger, although they weren't the lowest price. Chris handled the details of my transport from Las Vegas to Sarasota FL, seamlessly. Chris kept in constant communication with me to keep me aware of the pick up, transport and delivery schedules. read more...

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

Expand Answer Icon How do I book a reservation?

Simply contact us at (855) 720-5244 or use our online calculator to get an instant quote and make a reservation.

Expand Answer Icon How much does it cost to ship my vehicle?

Several factors affect the shipping cost, such as the year, make, and model of the vehicle, whether the vehicle is running, the time of year, and the weight of the vehicle.

Expand Answer Icon How long will it take to book a driver?

It typically takes about 1 to 3 business days to book a driver from your initial available pickup date. However, the shipping timeline can fluctuate depending on the season and specific locations.

Expand Answer Icon How long will it take to deliver my vehicle?

The average delivery time is approximately 1 day for every 300 miles. However, factors such as the driver's schedule, road conditions, weather, and other variables can affect actual delivery time.

Expand Answer Icon Can I put personal items in my vehicle?

Yes, you can place up to 100lbs of personal items in the trunk of your vehicle or in the back of your SUV trunk, below the window line. Items must be secured and won't be covered by insurance. Avoid placing valuables or fragile items in the vehicle during transport.

Expand Answer Icon Does someone need to be present for pick-up and delivery?

Yes, someone must be present to release the vehicle at pickup and sign the inspection report. This person can be anyone over 18 years of age.

Expand Answer Icon How far in advance should I schedule my transport?

We recommend scheduling about 10 days before your first available pickup date to ensure optimal pricing and timing. However, we accommodate last-minute requests frequently.

Expand Answer Icon Do you offer door-to-door service?

Yes. The driver will aim to get as close to your door as legally and safely possible. If access is limited due to street width, low trees, or regulations, pickup or delivery may occur at a nearby open space like a grocery store parking lot.

Expand Answer Icon Can you guarantee the pick-up and delivery dates?

No company can guarantee exact dates. If anyone does — buyer beware. We do, however, provide accurate estimates based on route and driver availability, and our team keeps you updated throughout the process.

Expand Answer Icon What is the difference between Open Transport and Enclosed Transport?

Open transport loads your vehicle onto a 10-car trailer, exposed to the elements — it's the most common and affordable method. Enclosed transport places your vehicle inside a covered trailer for extra protection, ideal for classic, restored, or luxury cars.

Expand Answer Icon Is my vehicle insured during transportation?

Yes. By law, all carriers must carry insurance that covers your vehicle during transit. The driver's insurance covers damage caused by their negligence.

Expand Answer Icon How do I pay for auto shipping?

A minimum $200 deposit is typically required at booking. The balance is paid on delivery by cash or cashier's check. Full prepayment by credit/debit card, bank transfer, Venmo, CashApp, or PayPal is also accepted.
