How Auto Transport Works

Open transport is the fastest and most affordable vehicle shipping. With this option, your vehicle will be secured to a truck and towed to its destination, sharing the truck with other vehicles that are being transported nearby.

Open transport is typically faster because it is a more popular option. With more open carriers on the road, chances are higher that your vehicle will get a spot fast. On the other hand, open transport carries risks of damage to your vehicle from weather, road debris, and even vandalism.

Enclosed transport is the right option when you’re concerned that your vehicle is fully safe and secure. With enclosed transport, we provide you with a carrier for your vehicle that’s completely cut off from the outside. This removes all risk of damage to your vehicle. The downside is that enclosed transport tends to be much more expensive, but if your car is especially valuable to you then it’s worth the investment.

We offer both shared and single enclosed transports. A shared enclosed transport will carry your car among others to the location. This option is cheaper, but it might take a longer period to get your car to its destination, as enclosed transports aren’t as popular. With a private unshared transport, you can protect your vehicle from the elements and get it where you want it quickly, but it’s a major investment.
