Open Car Transport is the most popular and budget-friendly method of shipping vehicles across the country. Cars are transported using open trailers that can carry multiple vehicles at once, making the process economical and efficient. These are the same types of carriers commonly used by dealerships to move new vehicles. While your car is exposed to weather and road debris, this method remains a reliable option for most standard vehicles.
This service is ideal for individuals looking to move everyday vehicles such as sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Whether you’re relocating, selling a vehicle, or buying one online, open transport provides a simple and affordable solution. It’s widely used by dealerships, car rental agencies, and private sellers due to its accessibility and speed. If your vehicle doesn’t require special handling, this option offers excellent value.

Open Car Transport allows for faster scheduling and lower costs due to its higher capacity and availability. However, since the vehicle is not enclosed, it will be exposed to the elements throughout the journey. For most customers, this exposure is minimal and doesn’t lead to any damage, but it’s something to consider for high-end or custom vehicles. With professional carriers and careful handling, this method remains a safe and trusted choice for millions of customers annually.

Non-running cars can be transported if the carrier knows in advance. Special equipment may be needed, which can affect cost and timing. Provide accurate details about the vehicle’s condition.
Distance, vehicle size, weight, seasonal demand, and route availability influence the cost. Flexible scheduling and choosing open transport over enclosed options generally provide the most affordable pricing.
Delivery time depends on distance and route. Short trips can take a few days, long-distance shipments up to a week. Weather and traffic may slightly affect the estimated delivery window.
Open transport is safe when vehicles are properly secured. Exposure to weather is normal, but serious damage is rare. Documenting your car’s condition before shipping adds extra protection.
Customers can pay with major credit and debit cards, bank transfers, or other secure electronic payment options before pickup. Discuss available methods with the agent when requesting a quote or confirming a booking.
Most carriers allow you to leave light personal items in your car, but it’s usually limited by weight and they aren’t covered by insurance. It’s best to ask your provider for specific rules before you pack anything.
