OPEN car shipping

For most cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and recreational shipping, open transport will be the preferred shipping method. With easy loading, unloading, and arranging, open trailers are the most cost effective and efficient option for vehicle shipping. Just remember, open trailers are not covered and expose your vehicle to the elements during transport. This means your vehicle may arrive with dust and dirt accumulation from its travel.

ENCLOSED car shipping

If you’re shipping a luxury vehicle, an exotic performance car, or a classic car that requires more careful handling, you’ll likely want to choose enclosed shipping. Enclosed trailers protect vehicles from hazards that may damage a vehicle during transit. Additionally, these trailers often have specialized loading and unloading equipment that may be required for older vehicles or those with low-ground clearance.
