Open Car Transport

The Way Most Vehicles Ship

Open transport puts your vehicle on a two-level trailer alongside several others. It is how manufacturers and dealers move the cars you see on the lot, and it is the right choice for most everyday vehicles.

Because open carriers make up most of the trucks on the road, they are easier to schedule and cost less than enclosed service on the same route.

Open Car Transport Questions

Answers to what customers ask about this service.

Is open transport safe for my car?
Yes. It is the most common way vehicles are shipped in the United States. Your car is exposed to weather and road dust, the same as if you drove it.
Will my car get dirty?
It may arrive dusty or rain-spotted after a long trip. A wash takes care of it.
How much cheaper is open than enclosed?
Open costs less on every route. The quote tool shows both prices so you can compare them for your move.
Can I ship a truck or SUV on an open trailer?
Yes. Tell us the year, make and model so the carrier plans the right space for its size.
