OPEN car shipping

Open transport moves most Aurora vehicles because of its practicality and cost savings. With this method, your car is loaded onto an exposed multi-vehicle trailer, which keeps logistics straightforward and availability high. The exposure means you may find some traces of road salt residue, highway dirt, rain spots, and dust on the surface of your car upon arrival.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport makes sense for specific vehicle categories, like vintage cars that appreciate in value, classic muscle cars, motorcycles, or other irreplaceable automobiles. Covered trailers protect against Midwest threats, like road salt, freezing temperatures, and highway debris. They also have hydraulic loading for lowered vehicles and those with clearance issues.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Aurora

  • Illinois gives new residents 90 days to get a state license after moving here. Visit the Secretary of State facility and bring your current license, Social Security card, and multiple proofs of residency. Unless you’re transferring from certain states with reciprocal agreements, you’ll have to take a written test and vision screening.
  • If you’re shipping your vehicle out of Aurora, remove your I-Pass transponder from your windshield before transport to avoid charges while your car travels through toll zones.
  • Metra trains connect Aurora directly to Chicago’s Union Station via the BNSF Railway line—handy if you arrive ahead of your vehicle.
  • Aurora winters can get harsh. Temperatures drop below zero regularly, and Kane County sees significant snowfall from December through March. Equip your vehicle with proper winter tires, keep an emergency kit in your car (blankets, extra gloves, hats, flashlight, phone charger, water, non-perishable snacks), and maintain above half-tank gas levels during winter months.
