OPEN car shipping

Have you seen trucks on the highways hauling new cars on a trailer? That’s open transport. Auto dealers use this type of shipping to restock their inventories. The majority of Montway’s Philadelphia customers also choose open transport because it’s a safe and reliable way to move most vehicles. Since cars are not covered during transport, they will arrive with a little road dust, which is to be expected.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transportation is the ideal choice for classic, exotic, and luxury cars, as well as motorcycles and powersports. This method is also necessary for vehicles with low ground clearance, which may require a hydraulic lift gate or ramp for safe loading onto the truck. Enclosed transport ensures your valuable Philadelphia car shipment is shielded from the elements and potential road hazards and arrives safely.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Philadelphia

  • If you’re moving to Philadelphia from out of state, you’ll need to register your vehicle in Pennsylvania within 20 days of establishing residency.
  • Along with state registration, be sure to obtain proof of Pennsylvania auto insurance. The minimum liability insurance amounts are $15,000 per person, $30,000 per accident for bodily injury, $5,000 per accident for property damage, and $5,000 per person for personal injury protection.
  • Leaving Philadelphia for a new adventure? Remember to remove your E-ZPass before your vehicle is loaded onto a transport trailer. If you’ll be a new resident of the state, learn more about the PA Turnpike and toll equipment.
  • Philadelphia can experience a variety of weather events, so be a safe driver. Remember, when shipping your car, severe storms, icy roads, and even glaring sun can impact travel times for your truck driver, so be patient.
