Types Of Vehicles Transport
Open Auto Transport
Open auto transport is the most popular method of transport used by customers to haul their vehicles from one location to another. An open-air carrier is used to transport the cars. Therefore, the carrier does not contain enclosed side walls or a roof. The two most popular sizes for these transport trucks are six and nine car carriers. At these sizes, they will often times contain two levels. Your car may be positioned on either level, unless you specify for top-loading.
Enclosed Auto Transport
Enclosed car transport is a specialized service that ensures the safe and secure transportation of vehicles. This type of transport involves using fully enclosed trailers, which provide protection from weather conditions, road debris, and other potential hazards. Additionally, enclosed car transport is often preferred for high-value or classic cars, as it offers an extra layer of security and peace of mind for owners.
Open Transport Vs Enclosed Transport
Shipping via an open transport method is much faster and more economical than enclosed transport. It is easier to book this type of transport, as it is more common.
The open transport method involves transporting your vehicle on an open-air carrier where it’s vulnerable to damages from poor weather, car accidents, and road debris.
Enclosed car shipping means your vehicle gets shipped in an enclosed trailer where it’s protected from the elements.
Although it has many benefits, enclosed auto shipping costs significantly more and is less popular than open-car shipping.
