Open Car Transport

Open car transport uses multi-level car carrier trailers — the same trucks you see on highways delivering new vehicles to dealerships. These carriers typically hold 7-10 vehicles at a time, making them the most efficient and cost-effective method of shipping cars across the country. Open transport accounts for over 90% of all vehicle shipments in the United States, making it the industry standard.

Safety is a top priority with open transport. Every carrier in our network is fully insured, DOT certified, and operated by experienced drivers. Your vehicle is secured using heavy-duty wheel straps and tire cradles that prevent any movement during transit. While your car is exposed to the elements — similar to driving it on the highway — the risk of damage is extremely low. The most you'll typically see is a light coating of road dust that washes off easily.

Open transport is the ideal choice for standard sedans, SUVs, trucks, and daily-driver vehicles. If you're shipping a luxury, classic, or exotic car worth over $50,000, you may want to consider our enclosed transport service for added protection. You can also combine open transport with our door-to-door service for maximum convenience.
