OPEN car shipping

Open transport is a safe and reliable option and the most common type of transport used for Minneapolis car shipping services. Cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this option efficient and cost-effective. Keep in mind that vehicles on open trailers are not protected from weather and road conditions and may accumulate some dirt during their journey, which is to be expected.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport provides additional protection against most weather and road debris, making it a most popular choice for classic, exotic or luxury cars, as well as motorcycles. Powersports, ATVs and other vehicles with low ground clearance will likely require enclosed shipping, as the driver may need need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to load them onto the truck

Four things to consider when transporting a car to or from Minneapolis

  • If your vehicle falls under the smog check program in Minneapolis, it’s advisable to schedule the emissions test before shipment. This proactive approach will help you avoid any potential legal complications upon arrival.
  • Whether you’ve purchased a vehicle from a private party in Minneapolis or another state, remember to register your newly acquired vehicle within 10 days. If you’re the seller, you have five days after the sale to report the transfer of ownership to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
  • While Minneapolis is generally known for its pleasant weather, it’s important to acknowledge the possibility of sudden weather changes. Be mindful of natural occurrences like severe storms, floods, or other weather-related events that may impact transportation. When planning the shipment of your car to or from Minneapolis, it’s wise to allow extra time to account for such circumstances.
  • Although Minneapolis doesn’t have toll roads like in California, you should still remove any electronic toll devices like E-ZPass or other local toll tags from your vehicle before shipping it. This way you won’t be held responsible for any toll fees incurred during transportation.
