The most common form of shipping a car is via an open carrier. Probably 75% or more of the car moves around the country are done via an open carrier. This is the type of carrier you see moving to and from a car dealership. It is the most common method of shipping and is the least expensive. It is also more readily available than an enclosed carrier. Keep in mind that you must have at least 3 inches of ground clearance to load via an open carrier.
Shipping your car via an enclosed carrier is a way to ensure your car will not be impacted by outside elements like rain, hail, rocks, and etc. But it is typically $300-$400 more than an open carrier. Most people with a luxury car or classic car should choose this method to transport their car. And if your car has a custom paint job you will want to move it via an enclosed carrier.
Both forms of transporting your car are very dependable and safe, when you choose the right transport company. It will just depend on what kind of car you have and if the extra money is worth moving via an enclosed carrier.
