OPEN car shipping
The most commonly preferred shipping method is open transport, primarily due to its safety and reliability. When you need Seattle car shipping near you, open trailers offer a cost-effective and efficient solution, providing easy loading, unloading and arranging. However, it’s important to note that since these trailers aren’t covered, there may be some dust and dirt accumulation on your car upon arrival at its destination.
Learn more about open car shipping.
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
For transportation of classic, exotic or luxury vehicles, people typically opt for enclosed transport. Enclosed shipping may also be necessary for vehicles with low ground clearance, as they often require a hydraulic ramp or gate for safe loading and unloading. Selecting enclosed transport provides an extra layer of protection, shielding vehicles from road hazards and adverse weather conditions.
Learn more about enclosed car shipping.
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 Seattle
- You have 30 days to get your Washington driver’s license after moving to Seattle from a different state. Depending on where you’re moving from, you may need to take a driving test.
- New vehicles (starting with 2009 models) must meet clean air standards to be registered, leased, rented, licensed or sold in Washington.
- Seattle experiences winter storms where snow and ice accumulate on roads. Be prepared by equipping your car with snow tires and/or tire chains; keeping emergency supplies in your car like a flashlight, blanket, gloves, snacks and a first-aid kit; driving slowly and avoiding driving altogether when possible.
- Good To Go! is a cost-effective and easy way to pay tolls across the state of Washington. If you’re new to Seattle and the state and plan to commute frequently on highways, you may consider creating an account. When leaving Washington, don’t forget to cancel your account and remove the pass from your vehicle. Always remove toll tags when shipping your car to avoid incurring fees while in transit.

What’s the cheapest way to ship a car to or from Seattle?
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. Discover more car shipping tips to help keep money in your pocket.
Can I still ship my vehicle if it isn’t running?
Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it. Be sure to indicate this when booking your shipment, since a specialized winch will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. The added equipment and work will be an additional expense.
Is my car insured while transporting it to or from Seattle?
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.
What does the first available date mean on the online quote form?
