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.

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.
