Open trailer transport is a popular and cost-effective way to move vehicles. It allows for fast, efficient loading and unloading, saving time and money. However, vehicles on open trailers may be exposed to outdoor elements, such as dust or dirt, during transit. This method is ideal for standard vehicles that do not require specialized protection. Discover more about our open car shipping options today.
Enclosed transport is ideal for classic, exotic, luxury cars, motorcycles, and powersport vehicles. It’s also a great option for cars with low ground clearance, often requiring hydraulic lift gates or specialized ramps for safe loading. Enclosed shipping offers maximum protection from weather and road debris, giving you peace of mind when moving high-value vehicles. Learn more about enclosed car shipping options.
