What is enclosed auto transport?

Enclosed auto transport moves a vehicle inside a hard-sided trailer instead of on an open two-deck carrier. The car is shielded from weather, road debris and other people's eyes for the whole trip. Brandt runs enclosed only, in its own trailers, loading with a lift-gate and soft straps on the wheels.

Is Brandt Logistics a carrier or a broker?

Brandt is a licensed motor carrier, USDOT 8241239 and MC 88061603, not a broker. The specialist who quotes your transport runs it in a Brandt trailer under Brandt's authority and cargo insurance. Nothing is handed to a third party. You can verify the authority on FMCSA SAFER before you book.

Where does Brandt pick up and deliver?

Everywhere in the fifty states, door to door. Brandt is based in Austin, Texas and runs the corridors exotic and luxury inventory moves on most: Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Las Vegas, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville and New York. A route that is not listed is still covered; those lanes simply run most often.

What vehicles does Brandt move?

Exotic, luxury, performance and collector vehicles: low-clearance supercars, wide-body builds, high-value SUVs, classics, and cars on their way to auctions, shows and dealers. Ride height, width, whether the car runs and quirks like a nose lift or a battery tender are covered at quote, so the right trailer and straps are on the job.

How much does enclosed transport cost?

It depends on the lane, whether the vehicle shares the trailer or travels alone, its size and ride height, pickup and delivery access, and timing. Brandt does not publish a rate card. A specialist calls back within two hours with a firm written quote, and that figure is the figure. What moves the price is explained here.

How is my vehicle loaded?

On a lift-gate rather than up a steep ramp, so low front splitters and diffusers stay off the ground. Inside, the car is strapped by the wheels with soft loops, never by the frame or the suspension, and the trailer is sealed. The load is photographed and timestamped before the doors close.

What insurance covers my vehicle in transit?

Brandt carries $1M+ in cargo insurance and sends the certificate before pickup, on every transport. It covers the vehicle while it is in Brandt's care, from the condition report at pickup to the signature at delivery. Personal items left in the car are not cargo and are not covered, so take them out.

What is the difference between a shared and a private trailer?

A shared enclosed trailer carries your vehicle with a small number of others on a scheduled lane. A private trailer carries your vehicle alone, leaves when it is loaded and drives straight to the delivery address on your schedule. Private is for high-value, time-sensitive and event moves; shared is the sensible default for most. The full comparison.

How do I get a quote, and how fast?

Send the vehicle and the route through the request form, or call 972 207 8728. A specialist calls back within two hours between 9AM and 9PM, seven days a week, with a firm quote and a pickup window. If you go ahead, a deposit is paid on a Brandt page and the documents land in your account.

How should I prepare my car for pickup?

Wash it so the condition report is accurate, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, take out personal items and toll tags, switch off aftermarket alarms, and have the keys ready. Tell the specialist about a nose lift, a battery tender, a wrap or anything unusual. The full checklist is in the supercar shipping guide.

Can I track the transport?

Yes. Location, status and the estimated delivery sit in your account and update as the transport moves, with the quote, condition report, insurance certificate and invoice attached where they belong. You also have your specialist's direct number for anything the account does not answer.

What happens at pickup and at delivery?

At pickup the specialist photographs the vehicle, records the mileage and any existing marks on the condition report, straps the wheels and seals the trailer. At delivery you inspect the car against that report before signing. Anything you notice goes on the document there and then, which is what protects you.

Do you move cars that do not run, or track cars?

Tell the specialist at quote. Whether the car runs, its ride height and how it steers decide how it is loaded and which trailer is assigned, and that is confirmed before the pickup window is set. Race cars, project cars and auction purchases are regular work.

Do you deliver to dealers, auctions and events?

Yes. Dealer-to-dealer moves, auction consignments with an arrival deadline, and event deliveries such as Formula 1 in Austin, SEMA in Las Vegas and Monterey Car Week are a large part of what Brandt does. Event moves usually run on a private trailer so the timing is yours.

How do I pay?

After you accept the quote, a deposit is paid on a Brandt payment page and the booking is confirmed. The balance is invoiced at delivery, and the invoice sits in your account with the rest of the documents. There are no fees that were not in the written quote.

Who will I actually be dealing with?

One Brandt specialist, assigned when the quote is issued. That person confirms the window, watches the car onto the trailer, answers the phone during the trip and hands over the car at the other end. There is no call centre and no ticket number.
