What is the Difference Between Open and Enclosed Carrier Transport?

When choosing a car shipping method, it’s important to understand the differences between open and enclosed transport.

Open Car Transport:
In this method, the car is transported on an open carrier without any enclosure. While the vehicle is exposed to weather conditions, open transport is more cost-effective, making it a popular choice.

Enclosed Car Transport:
This method involves transporting the vehicle in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. Enclosed transport is typically more expensive and is often used for luxury or collector cars.

Key Differences:

Price: Open transport is more affordable, while enclosed transport tends to be significantly more expensive.
Protection: Enclosed transport provides complete protection from weather and road conditions, while open transport leaves the vehicle exposed.
Type of Car: Open transport is suitable for most vehicles, but luxury or classic cars may benefit from the added security of enclosed transport.

How Much Does Open Auto Transport Cost?

The cost of shipping a vehicle using open auto transport varies based on several factors, including distance, vehicle type, and the current fuel prices. However, it remains the most economical option for moving your car across the country.

Cost Factors:

Distance: The further your vehicle needs to travel, the more the shipping cost will increase.
Vehicle Size: Larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs generally cost more to ship than smaller sedans.
Fuel Prices: Fluctuating fuel costs can impact the final price.
Shipping Speed: Expedited transport services are available for those who need quicker delivery, but this comes at an additional cost.
