Why Choose Our Armored Vehicles for Ultimate Protection?

At Alpine Armoring, our unwavering commitment to excellence drives our mission to set the standard for armored vehicle protection. Our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality and service set the standard for others to follow.

Over the past three decades, armoring more than 275 vehicle makes and models, Alpine Armoring has established itself as a pioneer and internationally recognized leader in the technology, design, engineering, and manufacturing of armored vehicles for sale.

We are proud to report that not a single incident of armor penetration has occurred in any of Alpine Armoring's vehicles.

30+ Years of Manufacturing Excellence and Innovation

What started 30+ years ago as selling armored cars to banks overseas and to civilians working for foreign governments who needed bulletproof SUVs for protection in high-risk areas, Alpine Armoring has grown to provide professionally retrofitted protective vehicles to clients in nearly 90 countries worldwide.

Using cutting-edge innovation, meticulous craftsmanship, and a dedication to personalized security solutions, we deliver unmatched safety and peace of mind to thousands of clients, including the United States government, the U.S. military, security firms, embassies, private clients, foreign militaries, and law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and around the world. No one protects you better than Alpine Armoring.

Military-Grade Materials, Rigorous Testing Protocol, and Quality Assurance

Not all bulletproof vehicles are created equal. Our certified materials undergo rigorous ballistic testing by globally recognized independent laboratories, such as the US Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG). These materials meet or surpass rigorous standards, including CEN 1063 BR testing, ensuring top-tier protection.

Alpine Armoring frequently conducts both third-party and in-house live-fire certification testing on opaque and transparent ballistic materials using various firearms to determine how many rounds, at what angles, and the grain/weight of the round it takes before penetration occurs.

Unlike others in the industry, Alpine not only tests standalone ballistic materials, but we also conduct in-house live-fire testing at our exclusive testing facility on our bulletproof cars for sale, validating their ability to withstand assaults in dangerous environments. This is one more reason that separates Alpine Armoring from all others in the industry and makes us a respected leader in this field.

Case Study: Armored G-Wagon vs Flipped Vehicle

In July 2024, an Alpine Armoring client was impacted by another vehicle that had just been in an accident and flipped over and into the client’s armored Mercedes-Benz G63. Here is their story:

“I was stopped at a red light when two vehicles collided at an intersection. One of the vehicles flipped over on its side and slid right into my car, the Mercedes G-Wagon I purchased from you.

My first thought was that, since the gas tank from this car was right next to me, if the car exploded, I was in trouble. My second thought was, “wait a minute, I am driving an armored vehicle, so I am probably safe”. I was able to crawl over the center console to get out through the passenger-side door and then assist the people in the car to get out of their damaged vehicle.

I am very grateful for having your Alpine-modified vehicle, as it was able to provide me with peace of mind on what was otherwise a very stressful day. It will be a long time before I get back into one of my sports cars again.”

We are proud to report that not a single incident of armor penetration has occurred in any of the thousands of vehicles manufactured and supplied by Alpine Armoring to our customers worldwide.

Our Available Armored Vehicles for Sale Collection: Models and Pricing

Alpine Armoring offers more than 80 different makes and models of armored sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and law enforcement vehicles, custom-armored to each client's unique specifications.

Alpine Armoring maintains a selection of in-stock armored vehicles for sale and ready for quick delivery to meet urgent security needs. These vehicles offer immediate protection and are perfect for anyone who needs something right away.

If you’d like a new SUV or Sedan that is armored, we can modify it for you, which usually takes about 8 to 12 weeks. This timeframe allows us to carefully add the protection features while ensuring the vehicle still performs well and looks great.

The price of an armored vehicle can vary widely depending on several factors, making it hard to pinpoint an exact cost. One of the biggest influences is the type of base vehicle used; luxury cars or those with strong engines typically cost more. The level of protection you want is also very important. Higher levels of armor and special materials will drive up the price.

Luxury Armored SUVs: Custom Escalade, Suburban & Range Rover

Gone are the days of clunky armored Chevrolet Suburbans typically used by law enforcement or the military. Increasing threats around the world mean that high-profile individuals, government officials, and corporate executives seek transportation solutions, such as luxury armored SUVs, that offer protection without sacrificing comfort or style. Alpine Armoring offers a variety of Armored SUVs for Sale, including the GMC Yukon Denali, Cadillac Escalade, Range Rover Autobiography, and Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG.

Typically armored to Alpine Level A9 (CEN B6+), these civilian armored SUVs protect against high-power rifles, as well as floor protection from blast threats.

Alpine’s bulletproof SUVs look almost identical to their unarmored counterpart. This is accomplished using advanced techniques to integrate ballistic protection seamlessly into the vehicles without compromising aesthetics. And to maintain performance, a reinforced suspension, upgraded brakes, and run-flat tire systems are installed.

Executive Armored Sedans: Mercedes, BMW & Lexus Protection

From America’s tech moguls and A-list celebrities to diplomats and dignitaries from around the world, security and privacy are critical aspects in day-to-day life. They value vehicles from brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Lexus that offer discreet protection.

What You Get for Your Investment

Alpine Armoring’s commitment to providing high-quality, custom-armored vehicles has earned us a strong reputation in the industry.

We have a simple payment structure in place for all purchases. A 50% deposit to initiate the order, and the remaining 50% is due before the vehicle is shipped. Although we don’t provide financing ourselves, we can help connect you with banks, lenders, and credit unions of your choice if you're looking to finance your purchase.

New vs Pre-Owned: Which Armored Vehicle Is Right for You?

Now that you’ve decided you are ready to purchase an armored vehicle, how do you know if you should buy a newly armored vehicle vs a pre-owned armored vehicle? Either option is an investment in personal security, but there are several key differences between the two options, including cost, customization, technology, and availability.

Advantages of Factory-New Armored Vehicles

The main advantages of a newly armored vehicle include the latest technology, advanced safety features, customization options, manufacturer warranties, and choice of specific makes and models.

While these advantages are important, one aspect - cost - can be a major deciding factor for a cost-conscious buyer. Another is time, especially if a specific make and model are desired. Alpine Armoring helps mitigate the time factor by offering a large selection of in-stock, newly armored vehicles for sale, available for immediate delivery.

Used Armored Vehicle Market: Risks and Opportunities

The biggest advantages of a pre-owned armored vehicle are cost, followed by availability. A pre-owned armored vehicle could save you anywhere from 20% to 40% of a brand new one, plus it will be available immediately. And typically, armored vehicles aren’t driven that much, so they usually have very low mileage, even after several years of use.

While used armored vehicles for sale offer lower cost alternatives, the main disadvantage of purchasing a pre-owned armored vehicle include outdated technology and older safety features. There are also risks, including unknown maintenance history and modifications that have been made since the original armoring.

Custom Armoring Services: Transform Any Vehicle into a Fortress

At Alpine Armoring, we focus on creating custom armored vehicles to meet your specific safety needs, making sure you and your passengers are protected in any situation.

Can Any Car Be Armored?

With the right skills and materials, our team can transform nearly any vehicle into a bulletproof fortress, leveraging our expertise and state-of-the-art facilities to work with a wide range of vehicle types. Larger-framed vehicles with high-performance engines, such as three-row SUVs, full-size sedans, and pickup trucks, are ideal candidates for armoring, as they are designed to handle additional weight effectively. However, certain vehicles pose challenges: convertibles, older vehicles with high mileage, and small to compact-sized cars are difficult or nearly impossible to armor. Luxury and exotic vehicles, while feasible, require additional research and development to ensure optimal material integration, resulting in higher costs.

Global Shipping and Delivery: Getting Your Armored Vehicle Anywhere

The armored vehicle market spans continents, with Alpine Armoring serving clients in nearly 90 countries worldwide who require discreet, reliable protection in diverse environments. Whether you need your armored vehicle delivered domestically or internationally, we ensure it reaches you safely and efficiently, no matter where you are in the world.

For complete details about our comprehensive transportation options and specialized handling procedures, read more about our Shipping & Logistics.

Outside of the US, the freight forwarders under contract with Alpine Armoring have extensive experience with shipping vehicles by Ocean Freight. Thanks to these relationships, we can handle all necessary paperwork and move cargo with maximum efficiency.

Alpine has shipped all over the world, including South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Most vehicles are shipped in 20ft and 40ft containers, while oversized vehicles, like SWAT or CIT vehicles, must be shipped Roll On/Roll Off (RO/RO).

Depending on the final destination, ocean freight delivery times can range from 30 to 90 days barring any unforeseen global interruptions.

For fast international shipments of sedans and SUVs, air cargo is the best method. It is also the most costly method. Depending on the final destination, air freight delivery times can range from one to three weeks, depending on cargo plane availability and number of stops in between.

International Shipping Procedures and Documentation

Export of certain armored vehicles is subject to United States Export Guidelines, including those from the US Department of Commerce and the US State Department. Alpine Armoring reviews information about our customers, whether domestic or international, planning to export our products by cross-checking with the "Consolidated Screening List" accessed via the BIS website to confirm and validate that the customer/end-user is not:

  • In a Restricted Country (i.e., on the Nonproliferation Sanction list)
  • On the Denied list
  • On the Debarred List (i.e., not allowed to order defense articles)
  • On the Specially Designated Nationals List

Vehicles subject to the United States Export Guidelines are required to complete the Form BIS-711 before any export.

Customs Clearance for Armored Vehicle Imports

Our logistics team will provide you with the final Bill of Lading (BOL) from the freight carrier and all other vehicle paperwork, like title, before the vehicle arrives at the final destination port. The BOL has been professionally prepared by our expert freight forwarders, ensuring that the proper codes for your armored vehicle have been applied.

Customs laws and regulations vary for each country, so we suggest our customers handle the import; however, we are happy to help and guide you through the process of importing your vehicle.
