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.

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.
