Newport Beach runs on money and horsepower in equal measure, and few cities its size ship as many high-value vehicles in and out. PIMCO, the bond giant headquartered in Newport Center with roughly $2.2 trillion in assets under management, anchors a corporate core that also includes Aviation Capital Group, one of the world's largest aircraft leasing firms. Down on Mariner's Mile along West Coast Highway, exotic dealers like Marshall Goldman, Phillips Auto Sales, and Wholesale Exotics move six and seven figure cars through the harbor corridor every week, which is exactly the kind of vehicle enclosed car shipping was built for. Whether it's a Ferrari headed to a new owner or a family SUV following a Fashion Island-adjacent move, we've built our dispatch network around getting cars in and out of this harbor city without a scratch.
Coast to Coast Car Shipping
Newport Beach vehicles need a shipper that treats the car like the asset it usually is. Enclosed car shipping is the default for anything coming out of a Mariner's Mile dealer lot or a Newport Coast garage, since it keeps road debris, weather, and prying eyes away from the vehicle for the entire trip, and that matters when the car is a six-figure exotic instead of a daily driver. Open trailer auto transport still covers the majority of what we move here, standard sedans, SUVs, and family vehicles headed out with a corporate transfer from PIMCO or Aviation Capital Group. Door to door pickup works fine in most Newport Beach neighborhoods, from the gated streets of Newport Coast to the harborfront homes on Balboa Island, and we regularly coordinate routes with Huntington Beach just up the coast to keep carriers running efficiently along the whole Orange County shoreline. Long hauls out of Newport Beach skew toward the East Coast and Texas, tracking the same relocation patterns we see from the corporate transfers based in Newport Center.
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 Newport Beach 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 how many exotic and luxury vehicles move through this city's dealer network, this is the option we recommend most often here, it costs more but adds real protection for a car worth protecting.
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.

Corporate relocations tied to Newport Center are a steady source of business. PIMCO alone manages roughly $2.2 trillion in assets from its Newport Center headquarters, and a firm of that scale brings in analysts, portfolio managers, and executives from other financial centers on a regular basis. Aviation Capital Group, one of the largest aircraft leasing companies in the world, adds another layer of corporate transfers to the mix. These moves often come with a short timeline, which is exactly when shipping the car instead of driving it makes the most sense.
Exotic and luxury car buyers and sellers make Newport Beach one of the more interesting shipping markets we serve. Mariner's Mile, along West Coast Highway, is home to Marshall Goldman, one of only four Marshall Goldman showrooms in the entire country, along with Phillips Auto Sales and Wholesale Exotics. A car coming out of one of these lots is rarely a vehicle its owner wants driven cross-country by a stranger, which is exactly why enclosed car shipping exists, and why we handle so many of these moves personally.
Fashion Island shoppers and the broader Newport Center business district bring in a steady stream of affluent residents and second-home owners who ship a vehicle rather than fly it in themselves. Whether it's a car following a seasonal move to a Newport Coast property or a vehicle headed out after a sale, we handle these shipments with the same door to door care regardless of the make or model.

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