Open vs. Enclosed Car Shipping: What’s the Difference?

When transporting a vehicle, the main choice comes down to open or enclosed shipping and each serves a different purpose.

Open transport uses standard open-air trailers, making it the most economical and widely used option. It’s fast, budget-friendly, and ideal for everyday vehicles.

Enclosed transport, on the other hand, offers maximum protection by placing your car inside a fully covered trailer, keeping it safe from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service is best suited for luxury, exotic, vintage, or high-value cars that require extra care.

In short, open shipping is practical and cost-effective, while enclosed shipping provides VIP-level safety and peace of mind.
