Apparatus for transporting smaller vehicles using a larger vehicle includes a single-gradient, semi-flexible supporting structure and an attachment mechanism coupling the supporting structure to the larger vehicle. The supporting structure is at an angle with respect to the larger vehicle and is suspended in air in close proximity to but without touching the ground, allowing the smaller vehicle to be loaded, transported, and unloaded without having to stow, store, fold, adjust, unhitch, remove, assemble, or otherwise alter or move the apparatus. The vehicle transportation apparatus provides an efficient solution for transporting smaller vehicles using a larger one that is safe to drive; requires no assembly, adjustment, storage, or removal between loading, transporting, and unloading; and allows a truck or utility vehicle owner to easily carry smaller vehicles without the typical hassle, inconvenience, risk, complexity, or inefficiency of current systems.
