OPEN car shipping

Open trailers are a popular and dependable choice for car shipping in Louisiana. They offer a safe and efficient method of transport, allowing for easy loading and unloading of your vehicle. While open transport is cost-effective, it’s important to note that your car is not shielded from weather or road conditions. However, as a normal part of the journey, some dirt accumulation can be expected.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed auto transport is ideal for shipping vehicles with low ground clearance, including classic, exotic, or luxury cars, as well as motorcycles and powersports. With enclosed auto transport, your valuable possession will be shielded from any potential weather and road hazards. Plus, enclosed auto transport offers the peace of mind you need when entrusting your prized vehicle to a transportation service.

Top 5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Louisiana

  • If you’re moving to Louisiana permanently and intend to establish residency, you will need to transfer your driver’s license within 30 days and surrender your out-of-state license
  • When registering a vehicle in Louisiana, you are required to fill out a vehicle application form. All vehicles must be registered within 30 days of establishing residency.
  • Did you know the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway holds the record for the longest continuous bridge over water? This 24-mile long toll bridge causes drivers to lose sight of land for an 8 mile stretch. Avoid incurring toll fees by removing your toll tag before your vehicle is loaded for transport.
  • Before moving in or out of Louisiana, notify your insurance company to update your home and vehicle coverage. Not all policies or companies are accepted in 50 states.
  • Louisiana is home to four naval bases. If you’re shipping your vehicle to or from the state, Montway offers discounts for military service members.

Louisiana car shipping FAQs

You can choose to pay in full online, Montway accepts all major credit cards and PayPal. You can also pay in cash at the time of delivery. If you choose to pay in cash, there is a small partial payment of $249 or less (depending on the distance of your shipment) when you place your order to secure your car’s spot on a truck.

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.

The bill of lading (BOL) is a legal document that will specify exactly what vehicle is to be transported from location A to location B and by whom. It will document the condition of the vehicle before it is turned over to the trucker at pickup and then document the condition again before it is turned over to the owner at delivery. The bill of lading serves as the contract between the trucker and the vehicle owner and includes the terms of that agreement. The final function of the bill of lading is as a receipt for the transaction.

Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it. Be sure to indicate this when booking your shipment, since specialized equipment will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. If your inoperable vehicle is not able to roll, break and steer it will require added equipment and work, which will be an additional expense.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.
