OPEN car shipping

Many choose open shipping for Alexandria car transport due to its economics and logistics. Exposed multi-car haulers cost substantially less than enclosed alternatives while maintaining solid availability even in this somewhat unique market. Your vehicle rides uncovered during the journey, which means it may accumulate some dust along the way.

Montway has experience arranging transport for everyday vehicles such as cars, trucks, and SUVs, as well as electric vehicles, classic cars, motorcycles, golf carts, ATVs, sports cars, and even exotic and luxury vehicles.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Also remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Remove any automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, try to leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading but not so much to start adding extra weight. For electric vehicles, it's recommended to leave the battery charge between 45%-65%.
