The 2026 Detroit Auto Show wraps up in mid-January. Thousands of people will need to get their vehicles home after the event. That’s why Tempus Logix is offering 10% off all Detroit shipments for show participants.
Why Show Attendees Skip the Drive Home
Car enthusiasts travel to Detroit from across the country for this show. A lot of them bring exotic vehicles or vintage classics they’ve been working on. After spending a week showcasing these cars, most owners don’t want to drive them back through Michigan winters.
Auto transport takes care of this headache. Your car avoids wear and tear from the long trip. You don’t have to stress about winter driving conditions. Plus your vehicle stays protected from road salt and whatever else the highway throws at it.
How the 10% Discount Works
Tempus Logix gets what auto show participants need. We’re giving you 10% off any Detroit Auto Show shipment booked within a week after the show ends.
The discount applies to both standard and expedited services. You can use it with open or enclosed trailers. Most show attendees go with enclosed transport since it offers better protection for their vehicles. An attendance proof will be required for the discount.
What You’ll Pay on Popular Routes
Let’s look at two common routes to give you an idea of the costs before the discount kicks in.
| Route | Transport Type | Distance (miles) | Original Price | Price per Mile | 10% Discount | Final Price |
| Detroit → New York | Enclosed | 1,370 | $1,330 | $0.97 | $133 | $1,197 |
| Detroit → Miami | Enclosed | 1,290 | $1,869 | $1.45 | $187 | $1,682 |
Both prices include door-to-door service and full insurance coverage. Enclosed trailers keep your vehicle safe from weather and road debris the whole way.

When Faster Shipping Makes Sense
Typical transportation takes between 5-7 business days for pick up. The overall delivery time, depending on location, adds another week.
Expedited transportation significantly shortens this time frame. They remove your vehicle within 48 hours of being booked. Your vehicle receives favorable routing so that transportation time shortens.
The cost of this is about 30% higher than that of normal delivery. Most car exhibition participants find this delivery cost-effective as they had already planned to spend this time without their cars.
Pre-booking ensures you a better output. The carriers’ availability tends to become tight once the program ends. Booking your position early ensures you receive fast service.
Why Show Cars Need Enclosed Trailers
The use of enclosed trailers for show cars makes sense for many
Open trailers are sufficient for normal cars. They are cheaper and more accessible. However, it is better to use enclosed trailers for show cars instead.
Closed trailers provide walls and a roof that protect your vehicle from rain and snow. Debris protection is also a priority. Winter transport also involves avoiding salt spray from road crews.
The show cars will typically be carrying more value. There will be classic vintage collectible cars and exotic sports cars of high worth. Having the extra protection of enclosed carriers will safeguard such investments.
Having peace of mind alone justifies the higher price. You will not worry about the damage that weather or the road could cause to your car.
How to Book Your Discount Transport
Contact Tempus Logix once you confirm your show attendance. Just mention the Detroit Auto Show when you request your quote to claim the 10% discount.

A Few Things to Remember
Detroit Auto Show creates high demand for transport services. Early booking locks in your preferred dates and times.
Build some flexibility into your schedule though. Michigan winters can delay pickups even with careful planning. Safety matters more than strict timelines.
Get your vehicle ready before transport. Take out all personal items and snap some photos. Keep fuel below a quarter tank since most carriers require that.
The 10% discount helps offset what you’re spending on transport. Whether you’re shipping to New York or Miami, Tempus Logix delivers reliable service at competitive rates.
