Difference between enclosed and open auto transport

Enclosed Auto Transport

In this car shipping method, we transport your vehicles with great care and ensure they reach their destination safely. Enclosed car shipping involves trailers that are completely sealed from all sides, protecting your vehicle from external elements. In case of road accidents or blockages during shipment, your car remains safe from any dents or damages.

With enclosed transport, you can typically ship 2 to 3 cars at a time, depending on the size of the trailer or container. The rates for enclosed car shipping are slightly higher, but it is a worthwhile investment, especially for expensive, luxury, or classic cars, as they remain fully protected. We strongly recommend enclosed transport if you own a high-value or classic vehicle to ensure maximum safety during shipment.

Open Auto Transport

Open auto transport is slightly different from enclosed transport but still provides complete security for your vehicle. These trailers are open, allowing multiple cars to be transported simultaneously. One major advantage of open auto transport is its capacity—you can ship 5 to 10 cars at a time. You may have seen these trailers on the road, commonly used for car shipments.

Before shipping, customers are informed that since the trailers are open, the cars may be exposed to dust and external elements. However, the vehicles are securely strapped to prevent any movement or risk of falling. Open auto transport is significantly more affordable than enclosed transport. It is ideal for regular vehicles and those that are not highly expensive. This method is widely available and offers a faster shipping service compared to enclosed transport.
