OPEN car shipping

Open transport is the most widely chosen vehicle shipping method, valued for its proven reliability, safety record, and widespread carrier availability. It’s a budget-friendly and practical choice for Baton Rouge car shipping services, with efficient loading, delivery, and scheduling. Since open carriers have no roof or walls, your vehicle may collect some dust or road debris during transit, but nothing a simple wash won’t handle.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is the top choice for shipping vintage automobiles, exotic sports cars, and luxury vehicles. This method is also recommended for low-clearance performance vehicles that need hydraulic lifts or ramps for damage-free loading and unloading. With enclosed shipping, your vehicle stays completely protected from road debris, weather, and Louisiana’s intense sun and humidity.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Baton Rouge

  • New Baton Rouge residents must transfer their out-of-state driver’s license within 30 days of establishing residency. You’ll also need to register all vehicles within the same timeframe at a Louisiana DMV—convenient locations include offices on Florida Boulevard and Airline Highway.
  • While Baton Rouge itself has no tolls, nearby routes like Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and Belle Chasse Bridge do charge tolls. Remove your GeauxPass transponder before your vehicle is shipped to prevent unnecessary charges during transport.
  • Before relocating to or from Baton Rouge, contact your insurance provider to update your home and auto coverage. Louisiana has unique insurance requirements, and not all out-of-state policies or carriers are accepted.
  • Military personnel stationed at nearby Louisiana National Guard facilities or traveling to other bases can take advantage of Montway’s military discount. Contact us to learn more about special pricing for active-duty service members and veterans.
