OPEN car shipping
Most owners shipping cars, trucks, SUVs, EVs, and other standard vehicles will opt for open car shipping. Vehicles ride on open trailers that are widely and readily available in all 50 states, which means wait time and cost is typically less. Open trailers do expose vehicles to weather and road debris, so they may arrive in need of a light wash.
Learn more about open car shipping.
ENCLOSED car shipping
Enclosed transport is the recommended option for high-value vehicles, classics, or exotic cars. These trailers keep vehicles protected from weather, dirt and road debris so your vehicle arrives in the exact condition you left it. Additionally, these trailers offer specialized loading and unloading equipment for safer handling of low-clearance vehicles.
