OPEN car shipping

With its reputation for safety and reliability, open transport is the most widely used vehicle shipping method. Open transport is also cost-effective and efficient when you need Virginia Beach car shipping near you, because your vehicle can be easily loaded, unloaded, and rearranged. While in transit, vehicles will be exposed to road debris and elements, so your vehicle will arrive with a bit of dust and dirt.

ENCLOSED car shipping

With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering additional peace of mind. This is the preferred shipping method for classic, exotic or luxury vehicles, as well as vehicles with low ground clearance since they will likely need a hydraulic ramp or gate for loading and unloading. If you’re an owner of a high-value vehicle, consider enclosed car shipping.
