OPEN car shipping
Open transport is the most common shipping type due to its safety, reliability, and volume of available trailers. Because vehicles can be easily loaded, unloaded, and arranged on open trailers, this is a cost-effective and efficient method for Austin car shipping near you. Remember, open trailers are uncovered, so cars may arrive at their destination with dust and dirt from the road.
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
Enclosed transport is the preferred method for shipping classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles. Enclosed trailers are also often equipped with hydraulic ramps and lift gates, which may be required to load and unload vehicles with low ground clearance. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering you additional peace of mind.

- In Texas, including Austin, you have 30 days to register your vehicle after you purchase it or after moving to the state. Make sure you register your vehicle with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
- New residents to Texas must get a state drivers license within 90 days of residency (voting in a state election, paying resident tuition, or other privileges and benefits not extended to nonresidents).

Is my car insured while transporting it to or from Austin, TX?
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.
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 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.
What’s the cheapest way to ship a car to or from Austin?
A simple way to save money on your Austin car shipping 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.
