Frequently asked questions about car transport in Europe
From enclosed supercar transport to open vehicle transport, everything you need to know about how we work, what we transport, and what you can expect from our service.
Enclosed car transport
Why do owners of supercars, classic cars, and collector vehicles choose enclosed transport trailers? Here you will find the answer.
What does enclosed car transport involve?
Enclosed car transport means that a vehicle is transported in a fully enclosed trailer. This protects the car against weather conditions, road debris, dirt, and unwanted visibility from the outside.
This transport method is commonly used for exclusive vehicles such as supercars, hypercars, and classic cars.
Why choose enclosed car transport?
Enclosed car transport offers maximum protection, discretion, and security during the transport of valuable vehicles.
Owners of exclusive vehicles choose enclosed transport because they expect their car to arrive in exactly the same condition as when it was loaded. No stone chips on the paintwork, no unwanted attention during transport, and no compromises.
What is enclosed car transport used for?
Enclosed car transport is often used for:
- Transport after detailing, coating, or wrapping
- Purchase and sale of exclusive vehicles
- Circuit and track day transport & support
- Concours d’Elegance and event transport
- Dealer transport and automotive logistics
- International vehicle relocations
- Collection management and storage transport
- Winter storage and seasonal transport
Open car transport
Open transport on a Brian James T6 is robust, flexible, and suitable for a wide range of vehicles.
What does open car transport involve?
In open car transport, the vehicle is transported on an open trailer or carrier. This is a reliable and accessible option that still provides the same professional level of care.
For this service, we use the Brian James T6 Transporter, which is suitable for both standard vehicles and heavier or larger ones.
Where do you offer open car transport?
We provide open car transport mainly throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. Is your destination not listed? Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Vehicles that can be transported
From extremely low supercars to non-running vehicles, we have the right equipment for every type of transport.
Which vehicles can be transported in enclosed transport?
In our enclosed trailer, we transport virtually any type of car. The main limitations are that the vehicle must not exceed 2,100 kg in weight and 1.80 meters in height.
Vehicles we regularly transport via enclosed transport include:

- Sports cars
- Classic cars
- Vintage cars

Can low sports cars be loaded safely?
Yes. Our Brian James trailers feature a hydraulic tilting system and additional assistor ramps. Thanks to the very low loading angle, we can safely load extremely low vehicles as well.
