Open auto transport is a method where your vehicle is shipped on an open trailer, exposed to the air but securely strapped in place from pickup to delivery. As the most widely used and affordable shipping option, it offers excellent availability and efficiency for standard vehicles. While open transport is a safe and reliable choice, your car may collect dust or light road grime during transit due to its exposure to the elements.

Enclosed auto transport offers a higher level of protection for your vehicle during shipment. Your car travels inside a fully covered trailer, safely out of the elements and away from road debris.
This service is best suited for luxury, exotic, classic, or collector vehicles that demand added care. Enclosed carriers typically use soft straps and hydraulic lift gates, making them ideal for low-clearance vehicles.
Although this method provides unmatched protection, it is generally more expensive than open transport and may have more limited availability due to a smaller network of enclosed carriers.
