Open vs. enclosed car shipping

Choosing the right transport method for your car

When it comes to transporting your vehicle, there are many factors to consider. One of the most important decisions you will make is whether to use an open or enclosed car carrier. Open car carriers are the most common and cost-effective option. They are ideal for vehicles that are commonly driven on the road and don’t require extra protection.

Open car carriers:

Are more widely available, making it easier to find a carrier and schedule transportation
Can accommodate larger vehicles, such as SUVs and trucks
May have a quicker turnaround time for delivery due to their availability

Advantages of enclosed car shipping

Enclosed car carriers, on the other hand, offer a higher level of protection and are recommended for specific types of vehicles. If you have a luxury car, classic car, or a vehicle that holds sentimental value, an enclosed car carrier is the way to go. These carriers provide an extra layer of protection against the elements, potential road debris, and other outside factors. In addition, enclosed car carrier transport is ideal for low clearance vehicles as race ramps and lift gates allow for easy loading and unloading, ensuring the safety of your prized possession.

Enclosed car carriers:

Offer better protection for your vehicle against external elements during transportation
Are ideal for high-value or rare vehicles that require extra care and protection
May have a higher cost due to their specialized services and additional security measures

Top Car Shipping Options

Explore your different choices for car transport. Enclosed car shipping is only of of three options! A transport specialist can help you pick the best option for you.

Open

Open car carriers can typically transport 5-7 cars, making multiple stops for pickup and drop-off. This adds time but is the most cost-effective car shipping solution.

Enclosed

Enclosed carriers offer better protection, hauling 2-3 cars for small trailers or 5-6 for larger ones. This option is typically more costly. Stops are made for other cars, but sharing the costs still saves you money compared to a dedicated load.

Dedicated Load/Expedited

A dedicated load means that your car will be the only one on the trailer. The driver goes from pickup to drop-off directly and without extra stops. This can save you time on delivery, but can cost more.

We selected James and his team after calling a few transport services to truck our passenger car from Fairfield, CA to Houston, TX on 3/15/24. The service was better than expected and the price was lower. I plan to use the same service in June to transport the same vehicle back to CA. I am not even going to look elsewhere; I trust James and his team.
