OPEN car shipping

Open transport is the most common shipping method in Indianapolis and nationwide due to its efficiency and availability. For Indianapolis auto transport, open trailers offer an affordable and reliable option due to their safety and high volume of availability. Keep in mind that because these trailers are uncovered, cars may arrive at their destination with a bit of dust and dirt.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is the preferred choice for shipping classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering you additional peace of mind. An enclosed trailer may also be required for vehicles with low ground clearance, as these trailers come equipped with a hydraulic lift gate.
