OPEN car shipping

When you think of car shipping, you likely have a picture of an open trailer in mind. Open transport is the most commonly selected option because it’s both reliable and cost efficient. Open trailers are simple to load, unload, and arrange for carriers, making transporting multiple vehicles easy. The downside to open trailers is that cars are not covered, meaning they’re exposed to weather and road debris during transit.

ENCLOSED car shipping

If you own a high-value car or one that’s condition is delicate, you’ll want to look into enclosed transportation. Enclosed trailers protect vehicles from elements like hazardous road conditions, or weather. Additionally, enclosed trailers often include specialized equipment for more careful loading and unloading which may be required for a low-ground clearance car. Either way, your car is protected by Montway.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Vancouver

  • If you’re moving to Vancouver, be sure to update your home and shipping addresses for your accounts, bank statements, and other documentation. You may need to remind your friends and family your address is in Washington state, as they may mistake it for Vancouver, Canada.
  • You’ll need to transfer your driver’s license and vehicle registration to Washington state, or to your new home state if you’re moving from Vancouver. Most states offer a 30-day grace period. Locate your local DMV for documents and deadlines to keep in mind.
  • If you have a school-aged child, check out the Vancouver Public School system to register your student. More than 20,000 students attend one of the 23 elementary schools, six middle schools, and five high schools in the district.
  • Get to know your new city! Explore the downtown area, parks and recreation offerings, and events calendars for opportunities to experience your new home.
