Exotic Car Transport
Exotic, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder, or in the case of the car owner, the mind of the owner. If you think of your car as exotic, then it is exotic. If you need it transported, you will be looking for an exotic car transport company.
What is an exotic car transport company? It is a company that specializes in the transport of exotic cars offering security that is considerably above the industry standard. What is an exotic car? Well, the definition here is a bit hazy. Most people think of exotic cars as those expensive and rare vehicles owned by collectors and the very rich. Also, classic cars preserved or restored at great expense can be called exotic as well. The real truth is that the definition of exotic is largely left to the opinion of the owner.
The exotic car transport company is not going to argue with a customer over what is and what is not “exotic”, but rather they will offer a transport service that provides the very highest standard of safety, security, and special handling. This service is offered at a cost and so the transport company is happy to let the customer be the judge of which cars qualify.
The mainstay of exotic car transport is enclosed car carriers. The exotic transport company will always stress enclosed. It means more than covered with a tarp to them. The enclosed car carriers used by the exotic transport companies will usually be very solid and even environmentally controlled carriers. The enclosed concept carries over to loading, unloading, and especially any storage while waiting pick up. It is really a matter of priority order. The regular transport company moves your vehicle and protects it while doing so. The exotic transport company protects your vehicle and then moves it.
The advantage of using an exotic car transport company is that the entire organization is geared toward the transport of exotic cars. This orientation helps in such matters as insurance and inspections. The employees will not blink regardless of the stated value when filling out insurance forms, nor will they argue that a little, tiny scratch on the rear fender shouldn’t be photographed for condition documentation. It is this understanding of value and the mindset of the owner that makes using them the wise choice.
Most large transport companies will offer luxury and exotic car transport service for an additional price. The upgrade service usually refers simply to the use of an enclosed carrier. For most luxury cars, the upgraded service should provide the level of security expected at a reasonable price. For the truly exotic or rare car, the owner might want to look first to the specialty company. It will depend, ultimately, on priorities.
