OPEN car shipping
When it comes to shipping your car, truck, SUV, EV or other vehicle, open transport is the most popular choice for many reasons—it’s widely available and is safe and cost-effective for routes to or from San Jose. It’s worth noting that since these trailers are open to the elements, your vehicle may accumulate some road dust or dirt during its journey, which is to be expected.
Pros
- More affordable than shipping in an enclosed trailer
- Higher availability, making it easier to book your preferred date
- More fuel efficient than enclosed transportation
Cons
- Vehicles are exposed to the elements during transit
- Trailers often cannot accommodate vehicles with low ground clearance
- Less security and protection from vandalism
ENCLOSED car shipping
This transport type is best for classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles, as well as motorcycles, and low-clearance sports cars. Enclosed transport trailers are equipped with a hydraulic lift gate or ramp for safe loading and unloading of such prized possessions. During transport, vehicles are protected from road hazards and harsh weather, offering you additional peace of mind.
Pros
- Vehicles are more protected from the elements and vandalism
- Often equipped with ramps to load vehicles with lower ground clearance
- Accommodates multiple vehicle types, including motorcycles
Cons
- Less affordable than shipping a vehicle on an open trailer
- Lower availability can make scheduling pickup and dropoff more difficult
- Enclosed carriers move fewer cars at once, which may drive up the cost

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from San Jose
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and motorized boats must be registered at a California DMV.
- New residents to California must get a state drivers license within 10 days of residency (Note: voting in a state election, paying resident tuition, or other privileges and benefits are not extended to nonresidents).
- With toll roads and bridges throughout the state, it’s important to remove your FasTrak transponder or other toll tag when shipping your car. You don’t want to be liable for any fees when you weren’t even driving!
- If you’re new to the area, use the City of San Jose website for resident information, jobs, activities and programs, news, and more.
