OPEN car shipping
Professionals, students, and families relocating to or from Rochester typically choose open transport—it’s cost-effective, reliable, and sufficient for standard vehicles. Your car travels uncovered on a multi-vehicle hauler, keeping prices reasonable. Exposure means accumulating typical road evidence: dust, winter salt, and dirt from multi-day journeys. A thorough washing post-delivery should remove all surface accumulation.

ENCLOSED car shipping
Rochester’s international community brings interesting vehicle diversity: luxury cars, exotic vehicles, and classic automobiles owned by established Rochester residents. Enclosed transport protects these high-value models from traffic debris and harsh weather elements. In addition, hydraulic lift systems accommodate ground clearance limitations safely, eliminating the risk for undercarriage scraping.
