OPEN car shipping
The most common shipping type is open transport due to its safety, reliability and volume of available trailers. Open transport is also cost-effective and efficient when you need Merced car shipping near you, because your vehicle can be easily loaded, unloaded and arranged. Keep in mind that because these trailers are uncovered, cars may arrive at their destination with a bit of dust and dirt.

Pros
- More affordable than shipping in an enclosed trailer
- Higher availability, making it easier to book your preferred date
- More fuel efficient than enclosed transportation
Cons
- Vehicles are exposed to the elements during transit
- Trailers often cannot accommodate vehicles with low ground clearance
- Less security and protection from vandalism
ENCLOSED car shipping
Preferred for shipping classic, exotic or luxury vehicles is enclosed transport. You may also need enclosed transport for vehicles with low ground clearance since they will likely need a hydraulic ramp or gate for loading and unloading. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering you additional peace of mind.
