Open transport suits many everyday moves, while enclosed trailers provide additional shelter for vehicles that need it. It does not establish that every driveway, garage or gated entrance is accessible.
Open Car Transport
Open transport carries the vehicle on an open trailer and is a practical option for many everyday sedans, SUVs and pickup trucks. The car remains exposed to ordinary road and weather conditions during the journey. Large tires, added height or low clearance can affect placement and loading. Related: Open carrier transport.
Enclosed Car Transport
Enclosed equipment can have different availability and pricing from an open trailer, so confirm the dates and service together. Discuss any unusual starting procedure or access limitation before dispatch. Related: enclosed carrier transport.
Expedited Car Transport
