Frequently Asked Questions
Is Open Vehicle Transport Reliable and Safe?
Yes, open auto transport is both safe and widely relied upon by individuals and dealerships alike. Aegis Auto Transport partners with skilled, professional carriers who take every precaution to securely load, transport, and deliver your vehicle. While exposed to weather conditions, your car is protected by industry-standard safety practices—keeping the risk of damage exceptionally low.
What’s the difference between open and enclosed auto transport?
The key difference comes down to exposure and protection.
What Is Open Auto Transport?
Open transport carries vehicles on an open trailer, where they are exposed to weather and road debris. However, it is more affordable and widely available—making it the preferred choice for most customers.
What Is Enclosed Auto Transport?
Enclosed transport places vehicles in a fully covered trailer, offering maximum protection. This option is ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value cars where added security is a priority.
What Kinds of Open Carriers Are Used for Auto Transport?
Open auto transport generally utilizes two types of carriers:
Two-Level Multi-Car Carriers: The industry standard. These trailers are highly cost-effective and can accommodate 8 to 10 vehicles per load.
Single-Level Carriers: Often used for shorter routes or specific customer requests requiring more specialized handling.
Is My Vehicle Protected by Insurance During Open Transport?
Definitely. Every carrier we partner with carries comprehensive insurance, so your vehicle is protected during transit. For extra reassurance, we recommend confirming the carrier’s insurance coverage before pickup—and Aegis Auto Transport is always available to guide you through it.
Should I Worry About Weather When Using Open Car Shipping?
Although your vehicle travels on an open carrier and may be exposed to rain, sun, or snow, significant weather-related damage is uncommon. The carriers in our network are trained to handle a wide range of weather conditions and routes, so your car reaches its destination securely
What Is the Most Budget-Friendly Way to Transport a Vehicle?
When it comes to cost-effective car shipping, open auto transport is the clear winner. It offers better availability, higher capacity per load, and efficient routing—making it the ideal option for most vehicles. Aegis Auto Transport helps you maximize those savings with competitive pricing and reliable service.
