OPEN car shipping
Choosing an open trailer for car shipping in Kentucky is a dependable and secure choice, and it’s the most frequently used method in your area. The design of open transport allows for efficient organization and swift loading and unloading of vehicles, making it an economical option. While this method does leave vehicles exposed to weather elements and road debris, leading to potential dirt accumulation during transit, this is a normal part of the process.
Learn more about open car shipping.
Pros
- More affordable than shipping in an enclosed trailer
- Higher availability, making it easier to book your preferred date
- More fuel efficient than enclosed transportation
Cons
- Vehicles are exposed to the elements during transit
- Trailers often cannot accommodate vehicles with low ground clearance
- Less security and protection from vandalism
ENCLOSED car shipping
For vehicles of high value such as classic, luxury or exotic cars, as well as motorcycles and powersports, enclosed transport is the optimal choice. It’s also suitable for vehicles with low ground clearance, as these may need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp for safe loading onto the truck. Enclosed shipping shields your vehicle from most weather and road debris, providing an extra layer of assurance when transporting your cherished possession.
Learn more about enclosed car shipping.
Pros
- Vehicles are more protected from the elements and vandalism
- Often equipped with ramps to load vehicles with lower ground clearance
- Accommodates multiple vehicle types, including motorcycles
Cons
- Less affordable than shipping a vehicle on an open trailer
- Lower availability can make scheduling pickup and dropoff more difficult
- Enclosed carriers move fewer cars at once, which may drive up the cost

Kentucky car shipping FAQs
What’s the cheapest way to ship a car to or from Kentucky?
A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand. Discover more cheap car shipping tips to help keep money in your pocket.
Is my car insured while transporting it to or from Kentucky?
Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.
Can I have my vehicle delivered directly to my home in Kentucky?
With Montway’s door-to-door service, you can have your car picked up anywhere in the U.S. and dropped off at your home address in Kentucky. Keep in mind that local streets may need to accommodate a car carrier trailer that can be up to 80 feet in length and weigh 80 tons. Your driver will work with you to find a safe meeting place near your home if your location isn’t legally or physically accessible.
How should I prepare my car for shipment?
We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.
Can I ship a vehicle to or from Kentucky even if it isn’t running?
Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it. Be sure to indicate this when booking your shipment, since specialized equipment will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. If your inoperable vehicle is not able to roll, break and steer it will require added equipment and work, which will be an additional expense.
Does someone need to be present for pick up and drop-off?
Yes, a person must be present at both pick up and delivery to sign inspection reports, hand the keys over to the driver and release and accept the vehicle. If you are unable to be there, you must find a person over the age of 18 that you trust to oversee the process.
