Columbia not your speed? Ship your car to another state using Montway’s nationwide network of professional carriers. Explore other destinations and transport options below.
OPEN car shipping
Open car shipping is likely the best option for your vehicle. As the most common shipping method, it provides a perfect balance of efficiency and cost-effectiveness without compromising on the safety and reliability Montway is known for. Just keep in mind that open trailers expose vehicles to the elements, which means vehicles may arrive with dust and debris from its journey.
Learn more about open car shipping.
ENCLOSED car shipping
Some vehicles require more special shipping and handling due to their value or rarity. For classic, luxury or exotic vehicles, we recommend enclosed car shipping for that reason. Enclosed trailers add a layer of protection against road debris, inclement weather and prying eyes. And they offer more careful handling for low-clearance vehicles with hydraulic lifts and specialized ramps.
