What is the difference between open and enclosed auto transport?
If you choose open car transport, your vehicle will be tranported in an open trailer, along with several others. Open car transport allows your vehicle to be exposed to the weather, dust, and dirt. However, open transport is still a safe option for people looking for budget-friendly auto transport option. Vehicles shipped using covered car transportation are protected on all four sides. With this option, your vehicle is transported using an enclosed auto transport trailer. This is the auto transport service of choice for owners of classic cars, luxury cars, antique, exotic, and expensive cars. The enclosed auto transport cost is a bit higher than what you’d pay for open transport; normally, normally, this service is 30%-40% more expensive.

When is open car transport recommended?
There’s lots of choice when it comes to choosing car shipping, but we recommend open carrier car transport if your vehicle is standard and you want to keep the cost to a minimum. Car dealerships choose it for this reason, and because it’s a safe, reliable, and fast option.
Open and enclosed car transport are both reasonable options, but they are each needed for specific circumstances, and we find that open car carrier transport will accommodate the vast majority of car transports.
