Enclosed Transport vs Open Transport

There are many variables that come into play when deciding if you should transport a vehicle via open car carrier or enclosed. Enclosed transport is the more cost heavy option over open car carrier, however, in some cases enclosed transport would be preferred over open car carrier.

Some factors to take into consideration are weather and car value. If your vehicle is moving through a part of the country where it could be damaged due to any type of destructive weather, it may be worth it to transport your vehicle via an enclosed carrier.

An enclosed carrier can help ensure your vehicle remains protected during its transport. Enclosed car carriers protect against the weather, while providing complete privacy for your vehicles. Enclosed transport is the preferred method to ship classic cars, low-clearance vehicles, race cars, and exotics. This way you can have peace of mind to ensure your highly valued vehicle will make it to its destination safely. It makes the most sense to use enclosed transport for vehicles that are investments and collectibles.

Open car carriers are completely open to the elements. As you can imagine, this won’t be the top choice of someone transporting their pristine classic, but in most cases, it s the most cost efficient option.
