OPEN car shipping
Open carriers move the majority of Rochester vehicles, and it’s no wonder why: lower costs and better availability make this the sensible default for most situations. Your car rides on an exposed multi-vehicle hauler alongside others, which keeps scheduling flexible and prices competitive. Throughout transit, your vehicle may collect some minor dirt or grime, as it stays exposed to the elements.

ENCLOSED car shipping
Some vehicles justify an enclosed upgrade: collector cars that appreciate in value, luxury models where cosmetic damage tanks resale numbers, or freshly restored classics heading to auto shows. Enclosed trailers create a protective bubble that keeps Rochester’s brutal winter conditions (road salt, freezing temperatures) from touching your vehicle during transport.

Door-to-door car shipping
Door-to-door car shipping is a convenient way to ship your car to or from Rochester. You provide specific addresses and the truck driver will pick up and drop off your vehicle as close to your door as safely and legally possible. Keep in mind that some cities have restrictions on large trucks that prohibit them from entering some residential areas.
Hawaii car shipping
Leaving Rochester and heading to the islands? Shipping your vehicle to Hawaii is less complicated than you may think. The key is selecting an auto transport provider with experience arranging door-to-port, port-to-door and port-to-port auto transport.
