Deciding between open and enclosed auto transport is the single most important choice when booking vehicle shipping. Each method serves distinct needs depending on vehicle type, financial valuation, and personal protection preferences.

Open auto transport is the standard shipping method utilized by automobile manufacturers, car dealerships, and daily drivers nationwide. Vehicles are placed on open-air multi-level trailers. It is highly efficient, widely available, and cost-effective for daily drivers, sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Vehicles are secured with professional soft-tie wheel straps to ensure stability.

Enclosed auto transport provides premium protection in hard-sided, climate-controlled trailers, shielding vehicles completely from rain, hail, snow, road dust, and highway debris. Enclosed transport is strongly recommended for luxury sports cars, classic restorations, exotics, and high-value investment vehicles.

Beyond physical weather shielding, enclosed transport features higher cargo insurance coverage ($1,000,000+ vs. standard $250,000) and specialized loading equipment such as hydraulic lift-gates that keep low-clearance vehicles perfectly horizontal during loading.
