OPEN car shipping

Open trailers are by far the most popular choice for moving a vehicle to or from Joliet. Because they allow more vehicles to be transported at once, open carriers are an efficient and budget-friendly option, but that comes with a few trade-offs. Vehicles will be exposed to the elements, including dirt and road debris. This means if you’re shipping during winter months when roads around Joliet are treated with salt, your vehicle may need a wash upon arrival.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed shipping is the most secure transport option. It is the preferred method if you’re moving a high-value vehicle like a classic car, exotic supercar, or high-end vehicle because enclosed trailers protect vehicles from weather and road debris, as well as from curious eyes. Additionally, these vehicles often have low-ground clearance and enclosed trailers offer hydraulic liftgates or more gentle loading angles.
