Frequently Asked Questions
Is open auto transport safe?
Yes, open auto transport is completely safe and widely trusted. At Aegis Auto Transport, we work with experienced, professional carriers who ensure your vehicle is securely loaded, transported, and unloaded with great care. While your car is exposed to the elements, the risk of damage remains very low.
What’s the difference between open and enclosed auto transport?
The key difference is exposure and protection.
Open transport carries vehicles on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris, but is more affordable and readily available.
Enclosed transport places vehicles in a fully covered trailer, offering maximum protection — ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value cars.
What are the types of open car carriers?
There are two main types of open carriers:
Two-level (multi-car) carriers – the most common and cost-efficient, carrying 8–10 vehicles.
Single-level carriers – typically used for short distances or specialty requests.
Is my car insured on open transport?
Absolutely. Every carrier we work with is fully insured, and your vehicle is protected throughout the journey. For extra peace of mind, we always recommend verifying the carrier’s insurance details before pickup — and Aegis Auto Transport is here to help you with that.
Is weather a concern with open auto transport?
While your car is exposed to weather elements like rain, sun, or snow, serious weather-related damage is extremely rare. Our network of carriers is trained to handle various conditions and routes, ensuring your car arrives safe and sound.
What’s the cheapest way to ship a car?
Open auto transport is the most affordable and efficient way to ship your vehicle. With more availability, higher capacity, and streamlined routes, it’s the best option for most car owners — and Aegis Auto Transport makes the process even more budget-friendly.
