Gateway Classic Cars works with top rated transport companies to handle shipping needs to around the corner or around the globe.
If this is your first time shipping a vehicle, here are some of the more common questions we receive:
Shipping A Classic Car
-
The cost for classic car transport can vary based upon the specific make and model as well as the distance from the showroom to your driveway.
Gateway Classic Cars can quickly get you shipping quotes for you with the options available to transport your classic car right to your driveway. Once you have decided on the best option, you will be able to work directly with the transport company for final delivery arrangements.

Door-to-door transport is the choice for many of our customers. The delivery truck will pick up your vehicle from our showroom and it will be delivered as close to your home as legally possible. Some cities may restrict where large trucks may drive in residential areas. This is something to discuss with the transport company when scheduling your shipment. They may have other delivery trucks available which would not conflict with any municipal regulations.
-
Our transport partners have two options available – Open Transport and Enclosed Transport.
Enclosed Transport carriers are often recommended for exotic and classic cars. This may also depend upon the time of year you are having your vehicle shipped. An enclosed trailer will better protect your vehicle from the elements during its journey to your driveway.
Open Transport car carriers are the popular choice for most new car dealerships as they can typically carry 8-10 vehicles at a time. -

No. Once you have received your vehicle, you will be able to register the vehicle with your local department of motor vehicles. Except for international shipping, we do not ship the title along with the vehicle for your protection. Your title and any additional paperwork will be sent directly from Gateway Classic Cars separately. International shipping will require the title to be present for customs processing.
