OPEN car shipping
Most vehicle owners choose open transport as their preferred South Carolina car shipping method because of its safety and affordability. With an open trailer, cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this an efficient option as well. As the name implies, cars are in the open and will be exposed to weather and road conditions, so expect some dirt accumulation on your vehicle when it arrives.
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
Enclosed transport is ideal for classic, exotic or luxury cars as well as motorcycles and powersports because this shipping method offers protection from weather and road debris. You’ll also enjoy peace of mind when transporting your prized possession. Vehicles with low ground clearance might require enclosed shipping, as the driver may need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to load them onto the truck.
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

South Carolina car shipping FAQs
Is my car insured while transporting it to or from South Carolina?
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.
Can I have my vehicle delivered directly to my home in South Carolina?
With Montway’s door-to-door service, you can have your car picked up anywhere in the U.S. and dropped off at your home address in South Carolina. Keep in mind that local streets may need to accommodate a car carrier trailer that can be up to 80 feet in length and weigh 80 tons. Your driver will work with you to find a safe meeting place near your home if your location isn’t legally or physically accessible.
What’s the cheapest way to ship a car to or from South Carolina?
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.
How should I prepare my car for shipment?
We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.
What types of vehicles can I ship to or from South Carolina?
Montway ships all standard types of vehicles such as coupes, sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans, and regular cargo and passenger vans. We can even arrange transport for EVs, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, golf carts, snowmobiles and other vehicle types.
