OPEN car shipping
Open car shipping is the most economical method for transporting vehicles to or from Columbus. Cars are loaded onto a multi-car carrier and exposed to the elements during transit. While offering cost savings compared to enclosed shipping, vehicles may arrive with some road dust from traveling. Open car shipping is a popular choice for dealerships, manufacturers, and individuals.

ENCLOSED car shipping
Enclosed car shipping offers protection for vehicles during transit, as cars are shielding from weather and road debris. This method is ideal for luxury, classic, antique, or sports cars, as it minimizes the risk of damage. While more expensive than open car shipping due to the specialized equipment, the added protection offers comfort to owners of high-value vehicles.
