Some vehicles deserve more than standard auto transport. Luxury cars, exotic supercars, restored classics, museum pieces, and irreplaceable collector vehicles need handling that matches their value — single-vehicle attention, enclosed protection, experienced drivers, and the kind of careful coordination that doesn't fit into the standard auto transport process. Heartland Auto Transport's white glove vehicle delivery service is designed for these vehicles and these customers.
What Heartland's White Glove Vehicle Delivery Includes
Single-Vehicle Enclosed Transport
Standard enclosed transport carries 4-8 vehicles per trailer. White glove dedicates the entire enclosed trailer to your vehicle alone — no other cars, no loading and unloading stops, no multi-customer routing. Your vehicle travels exclusively and arrives on its own schedule.
Climate Control & Soft Tie-Downs
Climate-controlled trailers maintain consistent temperature for sensitive paint finishes, leather, and aged components on classic and collector cars. Soft tie-downs (wheel straps that contact only the tires, never the vehicle's body or wheels themselves) protect rare wheels and finishes from any pressure.
Experienced Specialty Drivers
White glove drivers have years of experience with high-value vehicles — they know how to load classics with finicky transmissions, how to handle convertibles, how to fire up cold-storage classics for inspection, and how to deliver the vehicle with the care its owner expects.
Pre and Post-Delivery Service
White glove service often extends beyond just transport. Pre-pickup inspection with detailed photographic documentation, in-transit updates with photos at major waypoints, white-glove unloading without forklift contact, post-delivery vehicle inspection alongside the owner, and detailed condition reporting throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Heartland dispatch a white glove vehicle delivery service shipment?
For most routes, we can dispatch a carrier within 1-3 business days of booking. Time-critical situations (hot shot, expedited) can dispatch same-day depending on origin and current carrier availability. Standard shipments dispatch on a 3-5 day pickup window with the carrier confirming a specific arrival 24 hours before pickup.
What does white glove vehicle delivery service cost?
Pricing depends on distance, vehicle or load specifications, route popularity, time of year, and service urgency. Standard shipments range from a few hundred dollars for short routes to $1,500-$2,500+ for cross-country. Specialty services (enclosed, expedited, hot shot, oversize) cost more but the premium reflects real operational differences. Every Heartland quote is transparent and all-in — no fuel surcharges, no rate increases at delivery, no hidden fees.
Is my shipment insured?
Yes. Every carrier in our network maintains active FMCSA-required cargo insurance, with coverage limits typically $100,000-$250,000 per vehicle for standard auto transport. Specialty cargo (commercial freight, oversize loads, high-value vehicles) often requires supplemental coverage which we arrange and document at the quote stage. Insurance covers transit-related damage from pickup through delivery.
