OPEN car shipping

Vehicle owners most commonly use open trailer transport for Minnesota car shipping due to its safety and reliability. It’s also very efficient and cost-effective, as it allows vehicles to be quickly loaded and unloaded as well as easily arranged. By choosing this method, vehicles are not covered or protected from weather and road conditions and therefore may accumulate a bit of dirt during the journey.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is best for classic, exotic, or luxury cars, as well as motorcycles and powersports. A car with low ground clearance may also require enclosed shipping, as the driver may need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to load it onto the truck. Enclosed transport protects your vehicle from most road hazards and weather so you can rest easy knowing that your vehicle is being transported in the safest way possible.

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

  • While historically, drivers haven’t been required to get vehicle emissions tests, Minnesota’s Clean Cars rule will go into effect in 2024 for model year 2025 vehicles.
  • Minnesota is infamous for its intense winters, with temperatures falling well below zero and snow accumulation of multiple feet. If you and your car are moving to this state and you’re not used to winter, consider getting snow tires.
  • Minnesotans also spend a lot of the summer on one of the state’s 11,842 lakes. If you’re shipping a boat or jet ski to this state, make sure to follow proper trailer-pulling regulations once you arrive. It’s also important to be aware of boating safety when out on the water.
  • The state of Minnesota doesn’t have toll roads, but major highways in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) have E-ZPass hours Monday through Friday between 6 and 10am, and 3-7pm. Those with an E-ZPass can use the E-ZPass lane during commuting hours.
  • To drive legally in Minnesota, you have 60 days after becoming a resident in which to apply for your Minnesota driver’s license or permit. If you’re a commercial driver, you only have 30 days
