Del Mar packs an outsized reputation into 2.1 square miles, making it San Diego County's smallest incorporated city. Locals fought to incorporate back in 1959 specifically to keep La Jolla-style high-rises off this stretch of coast, and the same protective instinct still governs the city's 30-foot coastal height limit today. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club has hosted the Breeders' Cup World Championships four times, most recently in 2025, drawing crowds that dwarf the city's own year-round population of under 4,500. When a place cares this much about how things look and arrive, enclosed car shipping tends to be the default, and Cyndy has been delivering exactly that level of care for years.

Coast to Coast Car Shipping
Interstate 5 runs along Del Mar's eastern edge, and the city is also served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and the Coaster commuter rail, giving residents plenty of ways to get around without a car during a move. With a median household income near $199,000 and a genuinely tiny year-round population, this is one of the more affluent, lower- volume markets we work in, but the Del Mar Fairgrounds alone brings in roughly 1.4 million visitors a year for the San Diego County Fair, on top of the crowds the racetrack draws each summer. We regularly coordinate routes with our Encinitas customers just up the coast, since both cities sit along the same North County I-5 corridor.
Premium and exclusive vehicle freight
Standard vehicle transport
Heavy vehicle hauling
People often ask us this, and it's a fair question because "car shipping" gets used as a catch-all term. We're not a towing company, and we're not hauling your car around town on a flatbed for a mechanic. Sweet Logistics moves vehicles long distance, nationwide, from Del Mar to any state in the country, using three main methods depending on what you're shipping and what you need.
Enclosed car carrier transport puts your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, shielded from road debris, weather, and dust for the entire trip. Given the concentration of high-value vehicles in this market, this is the option we recommend most often in Del Mar.
Open trailer transport is the standard option for everyday vehicles. Your car rides on a multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles, exposed to the weather the same way it would be if you drove it yourself. It's the most affordable option and works fine for daily drivers, SUVs, and trucks.
Heavy duty truck and equipment hauling covers everything too big or too heavy for a standard car carrier: box trucks, work trucks with equipment mounted, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. If it doesn't fit the usual definition of "car," this is the service that gets it moved.

Racing season shapes a real share of what we ship here. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club has hosted the Breeders' Cup World Championships four times, and each summer meet brings in owners, trainers, and visitors whose vehicles are worth protecting in enclosed transport rather than trusting to an open trailer.
The Del Mar Fairgrounds adds a completely different kind of volume. State-owned and drawing roughly 1.4 million visitors a year for the San Diego County Fair alone, this 340-acre venue turns a city of under 4,500 year-round residents into a seasonal magnet, and some of those visitors end up shipping a vehicle rather than driving it home.
Then there's the city itself. Incorporated in 1959 specifically to keep high-rise development off the coast, and still enforcing one of the strictest height limits in San Diego County, Del Mar residents tend to care as much about how a car arrives as they do about how their neighborhood looks.

Yes, for a high-value vehicle we recommend enclosed transport. It shields the car from weather and road debris for the entire trip, which matters more on a car worth six figures than a daily driver.
