OPEN car shipping

For shipping your car to or from Raleigh, open transport is the most popular and budget-friendly solution. With this method, your vehicle travels on a multi-car trailer and will be exposed to rain, snow, sun, and road dust, much like it would when driving it yourself. Open car shipping is a reliable and efficient way to ship a standard vehicle or truck both locally, and across the country.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed vehicle transport is recommended for owners of classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles, as well as low-clearance sports cars. These trailer types are equipped with a hydraulic ramp or gate for loading and unloading. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, while offering a bit of privacy during transportation.
