Open auto transport involves shipping your vehicle on an open-air trailer without walls or a roof. Your car is securely fastened with straps and transported from the pickup location to the delivery point.
This is the most commonly used method due to its wide availability and lower cost compared to enclosed transport. It's an efficient option for most standard vehicles. However, because the vehicle is exposed to the elements and road debris, it may arrive with dust or minor surface dirt.

Enclosed auto transport is a premium vehicle shipping service that provides maximum protection during transit. Your car is transported inside a fully enclosed trailer, shielding it from weather, road debris, and other external elements.
This method is ideal for luxury, exotic, classic, or collector vehicles that require extra care. Enclosed trailers often feature soft straps and hydraulic lift gates, making them perfect for cars with low ground clearance.
While this option offers superior protection, it comes at a higher cost than open transport and may have limited availability due to fewer enclosed carriers in the market.
