OPEN car shipping

Most people shipping a car to or from Carmel will select open car shipping. Open trailers allow for the easiest and most efficient loading and arranging option for vehicles. For this reason, open trailers are usually less expensive. The only downside is open car shipping leaves vehicles exposed to weather conditions and road debris, meaning vehicles may require cleaning upon arrival.

ENCLOSED car shipping

If you’re a classic car collector, performance car owner or have luxury vehicles in your fleet, enclosed shipping may be the best option for you. Enclosed carriers add an additional barrier of protection to eliminate any damage from weather or road debris. These trailers also offer more careful handling through hydraulic lifts and special ramps for lower clearance vehicles.

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

  • Moving means becoming a resident of a new county, city, or state, which requires updating your license. In the state of Indiana, you have 30 days from moving to transfer your license.
  • Your driver’s license isn’t the only home address that requires updating. Remember your auto insurance also requires a valid home address. Contact your insurer to update your home address and find out if your move will impact your rates.
  • Emergencies don’t wait until you’re settled to happen. Be sure you sign up for emergency alerts so you’re aware of any hazardous weather or other public safety concerns.
  • Explore your new city by keeping up with upcoming events and festivals. Remember, some events may impact travel and cause road closures, so even if you don’t plan to attend, it’s good to stay aware of the local happenings.
