Choosing the right car shipping method depends on your vehicle, transportation needs, and preferred level of protection. Open and enclosed car transport are two common options.
What Is Open Car Transport?
Open car transport uses an uncovered trailer to carry multiple vehicles. It is widely used for everyday cars, SUVs, and trucks.
Benefits of open transport:
- Generally more affordable than enclosed shipping
- Widely used for standard vehicles
- Suitable for many local and long-distance routes
What Is Enclosed Car Transport?
Enclosed car transport uses a covered trailer to help protect vehicles from weather and road debris during transportation.
Benefits of enclosed transport:
- Additional protection from outdoor elements
- Suitable for classic, luxury, and collectible cars
- More privacy during transportation
Which Option Should You Choose?
Open transport may suit customers shipping standard vehicles who want a practical option. Enclosed transport may be preferable for valuable or specialty vehicles that need additional protection.
Consider your vehicle’s value, transportation requirements, budget, and available carrier options before deciding.
