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:

· The open transport trailer is open-air which means your vehicle is exposed to outside elements (wind, rain, hail, dust, debris, etc)

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:

· More expensive than an open carrier. – On average 40% more expensive than an open carrier
