What is the difference between Open and Enclosed transport?

Open transport is the most common car shipping method. Almost 97% of all vehicles delivered in USA are on this type of trailers. Keep in mind that the car is exposed to outside elements such as rain, sun, dust, etc. However, it is considered a safe and secure way of transporting your vehicle. Most new cars are delivered to dealers by open trailer. Enclosed transport is often desired for owners of collector cars and used for classic, luxury, vintage, custom and sports cars. The vehicle is not exposed to weather elements and flying objects and prevents possible rock chips.

How much does it cost to ship a car on a open carrier?

When determining your shipping rate, there are a few things we consider to provide you with an accurate price quote. The mileage between the origin and destination is the biggest factor that contributes to your total rate. In addition to the distance of your relocation, another factor is the type and condition of the vehicle being shipped. The final factor is the date of desired transportation.

Is my vehicle insured during transport on an open carrier?

All shipments include basic liability coverage. Comprehensive insurance options are available for an elevated level of shipment coverage during transit. You will be able to select a level of coverage during the booking process.
