What's the cancellation policy if weather cancels the show?

Full refund on the outbound leg if cancelled more than 7 days out, 50% within 7 days. Return-haul rebooks at no charge.

Quick answer

Car show transport with ShipCargo AI uses enclosed, climate-controlled trailers — usually single-car loads — to deliver concours and show vehicles directly to the show field or staging area. We coordinate gate passes, deliver during published load-in windows, and return-haul after the event. Typical pricing runs $1.50–$3.50/mile depending on distance, trailer type (hard-side vs. soft-side), and timing.

Why show cars need a different shipper

A 100-point restoration doesn't survive a regular open trailer. Road grime, brake dust, and a single tie-down strap in the wrong spot can cost you a class win. Show cars need enclosed trailers with soft straps, lift-gate loading, and drivers who've handled six-figure cars before.

ShipCargo's enclosed network specializes in this work — most of our enclosed carriers run hard-sided trailers with lift gates, climate control, and cargo coverage to match the value of what's inside.

Show-field logistics

We coordinate with show organizers to deliver during the official load-in window — Pebble, Amelia, Greenwich, Goodwood, and Barrett-Jackson all have published windows we work to. We also handle return-haul after the event so you're not stuck arranging two separate shippers.

For local and regional shows, we can stage the car at a nearby detailer the night before for final prep, then deliver in the morning.
