Check out this brief summary of the pros and cons of open and enclosed car shipping services.
Open auto shipping
Pros:
· It is the most common & lowest price way to transport vehicles across country
· Shipping by open transport is faster than enclosed transport because there are more open-air carriers on the road.
Cons:

Enclosed Auto Shipping
Pros:
· Your vehicle is transported inside a fully enclosed trailer.
· There is a higher degree of security and protection for your vehicle
Cons:
