OPEN car shipping
With open transport, cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this option efficient and cost-effective. For Iowa car shipping, an open trailer is a safe and reliable choice and the most popular method for car owners across the country. Keep in mind that vehicles on open trailers will accumulate a bit of dirt during transport, which is to be expected.

ENCLOSED car shipping
If you’re shipping a classic, exotic or luxury car, we recommend enclosed shipping. This method is also used for motorcycles, powersports and vehicles with low ground clearance as a hydraulic lift gate or ramp may be needed to load them onto the truck. Enclosed transport also protects your Iowa car shipment from most weather and road hazards.
