Open vs enclosed car shipping. When to use each.

When shipping your vehicle, you'll need to choose between open and enclosed transport. Each option has its advantages and is suited for different situations.

Open Car Transport

Open transport is the most common and cost-effective option. Your vehicle is shipped on an open trailer, exposed to the elements but typically more affordable. This is suitable for most standard vehicles.

Enclosed Car Transport

Enclosed transport provides complete protection from weather, road debris, and other elements. This option is ideal for luxury vehicles, classic cars, exotic vehicles, or any car where maximum protection is desired.

Cost Comparison

Open transport is typically 30-40% less expensive than enclosed transport. However, the added protection of enclosed transport may be worth the extra cost for valuable vehicles.
