Open vs Enclosed Car Shipping: Which Is Right for You?

Published January 4, 2026

Compare costs and protection for standard vs high-value vehicles.

Choosing between open and enclosed transport depends on your vehicle and budget.

Open Transport

Costs less and works for most everyday vehicles. Your car is exposed to weather but this is how most cars are shipped.

Enclosed Transport

Best for luxury, classic, or show cars. Complete protection from elements but costs more.

Post your shipment and specify your preference to get accurate bids for either option.
