OPEN car shipping
Choosing an open trailer for your car shipping needs in Alabama is a popular and dependable transport method. With this service, vehicles can be quickly loaded and unloaded, making it an efficient and affordable solution. With open car shipping, it’s important to remember that the cars are exposed to the elements during their journey, so it’s expected that they may gather some dust or dirt along the way.
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 owners of classic, luxury, or exotic cars, motorcycles and powersports vehicles, enclosed transportation stands out as the top choice. This option may also be necessary for vehicles with low ground clearance, that require a lift gate or a ramp for loading onto the transport truck. Shipping your car on an enclosed trailer offers additional protection from a wide range of weather conditions and road debris.
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

Top 5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Alabama
- If you’re a new Alabama resident, you’ll need to get an Alabama driver’s license within your first 30 days. Similarly, you’ll be required to register your vehicle with the Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR) within the first 20 days of buying the vehicle or becoming a resident.
- The state of Alabama does not require an emissions test to register your vehicle. If you’d like to test your vehicle, there are several locations that offer smog checks and emissions testing.
- By law, all vehicle owners must maintain minimum insurance coverage. The minimum required coverage limits may vary, so it’s important to stay up-to-date with current insurance requirements.
- Be cautious while driving in rural areas, especially during dawn and dusk. Alabama has a significant population of deer and other wildlife. Collisions with wildlife can be hazardous.
- Alabama has several toll roads and toll bridges. E-ZPass is not accepted in Alabama, but you can pay with Freedom Pass, cash or card. If you’re shipping your car, be sure to remove any toll tags or passes during transport to avoid undue fees.

Alabama car shipping FAQs
Is my car insured while transporting it to or from Alabama?
Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, we have our 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 ship personal items in my car?
With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.
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 or disable any kind of security system that 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.
How far in advance should I book my Alabama car shipment?
You should book your car transport as soon as you know pick up and delivery dates and locations. The further in advance you can schedule shipping, the more likely your vehicle will be delivered within your desired timeframe. We suggest booking between two and three weeks prior to the pick up date. Expedited pickup options are also available at an additional cost.
What’s the cheapest way to ship a car to or from Alabama?
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 interesting cheap car shipping tips to help keep money in your pocket.
Can I have my vehicle delivered directly to my home in Alabama?
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 Alabama. 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.
