OPEN car shipping
Open transport shipping is the most common auto transport option. This is because of its reliability, safety, and high number of available trailers. Open transport allows for easy loading and unloading, making it the most cost-effective and efficient shipping method for Tampa car shipping near you. Open trailers do not have a roof or walls, so vehicles may come in contact with small amounts of dust and dirt during transit.
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 the preferred choice for shipping classic, exotic, luxury, and collector vehicles. An enclosed transport trailer is often required for motorcycles as well as vehicles with low ground clearance that require a lift gate for loading and unloading. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are covered by walls and a roof to shield them from road debris and outdoor elements, adding an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.
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
