OPEN car shipping

If you’re in Rhode Island and need a reliable, yet cost-effective car shipping solution, an open trailer is an excellent choice. It’s the go-to transport option for many vehicle owners due to its efficiency and affordability. Just remember that while your vehicle will be safe and secure on an open trailer, it will not be protected from weather conditions and road debris. As a result, your car might collect a little dust or dirt while in transit.

ENCLOSED car shipping

For owners of luxury, vintage, or exotic cars, as well as motorcycles or powersports, enclosed transportation is the best option. Vehicles that have a low ground clearance may also need this type of shipping, as enclosed trailers are often equipped with a hydraulic lift gate or ramp. Enclosed transport also offers protection from weather and road hazards, ensuring your vehicle stays in excellent condition during its journey.

Rhode Island car shipping FAQs

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.

You should book your car transport as soon as you know pick up and delivery dates and locations. The further in advance you can schedule shipping, the more likely your vehicle will be delivered within your desired timeframe. We suggest booking between two and three weeks prior to the pick up date. Expedited pickup options are also available at an additional cost.

With Montway’s door-to-door service, you can have your car picked up anywhere in the U.S. and dropped off at your home address in Rhode Island. Keep in mind that local streets may need to accommodate a car carrier trailer that can be up to 80 feet in length and weigh 80 tons. Your driver will work with you to find a safe meeting place near your home if your location isn’t legally or physically accessible.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.
