OPEN car shipping

We typically recommend open carrier shipping for most customers as it is quicker and more cost effective than enclosed. With open carrier shipping, your vehicle is transported on an open trailer with several other vehicles. The accessibility of these trailers simplifies the loading and unloading process, streamlining your vehicle's journey. Just keep in mind, your vehicle may arrive with dust and debris from its journey.

ENCLOSED car shipping

When it comes to luxury vehicles, classic cars, or exotic supercars, enclosed shipping is the best choice. Enclosed trailers protect vehicles from the elements and ensure they are delivered in the same condition they started in. Additionally, enclosed trailers are often equipped with specialized loading and unloading equipment like hydraulic liftgates, that ensure vehicles with low ground clearance are protected during loading.
