OPEN car shipping

Open trailer transport for your Maryland car shipping requirements is a popular and affordable choice used by most customers and car dealerships to transport their vehicles. With this approach, cars are quickly loaded and unloaded, creating a smooth and efficient process. Keep in mind, vehicles might accumulate some dust or dirt during transit. This is normal when using open trailer transport.

ENCLOSED car shipping

For owners of classic, luxury or exotic automobiles, motorcycles and powersports, enclosed transport is the preferred option. This method might also be necessary for vehicles with low ground clearance that require the use of a hydraulic lift gate or ramp for loading. Enclosed transport offers the advantage of protecting your vehicle from most weather conditions and road-related concerns.

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

  • If you’re moving to the state longterm, remember that Maryland residents are required to register their vehicle within 60 days of relocating.
  • Vehicle insurance is mandatory in the state of Maryland and drivers are required to carry a minimum of insurance. Get insured as soon as you start driving to avoid penalties.
  • All of Maryland’s tolling stations are electronic and cashless. Payments are collected through E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate and video tolling. Be sure to remove your E-ZPass when shipping your vehicle to avoid undue fees during transit.
  • Vehicles registered in the state of Maryland need to take an emissions test every 2 years. These tests will usually coincide with the vehicle’s registration renewal date. Hybrid vehicles must get a smog check once they are 3 years old.
  • There are two instances where Maryland law requires a safety inspection for your vehicle: You just moved to Maryland and your vehicle is registered in another state, or you just bought a new or used vehicle.
