OPEN car shipping

This is the most common shipping type due to its safety, reliability, and number of available trailers. Open transport is also cost-effective and efficient when you need Charlotte car shipping near you, because your vehicle can be easily loaded, unloaded and arranged. Keep in mind that because these trailers are uncovered, the cars on them may arrive with some dust and dirt.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is preferred for shipping classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles. It may also be required for vehicles with low ground clearance that need a hydraulic ramp or gate for loading and unloading—a feature exclusive to enclosed transport trailers. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering you additional peace of mind.
