OPEN car shipping

Open transport is the most popular option for car shipping in Louisville. It’s a reliable and safe method, with a high volume of available trailers. Vehicles are easily loaded, unloaded, and arranged on open carriers, making them an efficient and budget-friendly choice. Since the trailers are uncovered, your vehicle may arrive with some road dust and dirt.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is often the preferred choice for shipping classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles. With enclosed shipping, your vehicle is shielded from road debris and harsh weather, giving you added peace of mind.These trailers also frequently feature hydraulic ramps and lift gates, which can be essential for loading and unloading vehicles with low ground clearance.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Louisville

  • If you’re moving to Louisville from another state and becoming a Kentucky resident, you’ll need to transfer your out-of-state driver’s license within 30 days. All vehicles must be registered within 15 days of arriving in Kentucky.
  • There are toll roads and bridges throughout Louisville and the state of Kentucky. If you have a RiverLink toll transponder, remove it while your car is being shipped to avoid incurring fees during transport.
  • All motor vehicle owners in Kentucky must carry minimum liability coverage: $25,000 for all claims for bodily injury damages sustained by any one person and at least $50,000 for all bodily injury damages, as well as $25,000 for all property damage. Alternatively, a policy with a single limit of $60,000.00 is acceptable
  • Sending a car to a student at a Kentucky university, college, or technical school? Good news! The student is not required to transfer their license, but must have their student ID with them while driving.
