Automobile Shipping Quotes: Chevy Corvette

If you're looking for automobile shipping quotes to transport a Chevrolet Corvette, you should probably be looking at enclosed transportation quotes unless your Corvette is wrecked or in need of body repairs. The Corvette is one of those vehicles that you should try to ship enclosed if you can - open transportation is good, but not good enough for the Corvette, at least in this humble writer's opinion. Ultimately it's up to you - open transport is cheaper and more cost-effective, but enclosed transportation will protect your Corvette a lot better and will allow it to arrive in pristine condition. You can get free auto shipping quotes for either open or enclosed transportation by filling out our free form either way, though, and you can also read more about the Corvette by visiting our Chevy Corvette Automobile Shipping page.
