Open carrier is the preferred method by most customers who are searching for a low cost car transport. The open carrier is open at the top and on the sides can hold anywhere from 1 car on a flat hauler to 11 cars on a dual level hauler. The dual level hauler is typically the most cost effective and the most readily available, but does expose the vehicles to the elements such as rain, sleet, snow, wind and bugs. This can be an issue for some people who prefer the enclosed trailer for their auto transport.

The enclosed trailer has walls and a roof and is typically used for higher end vehicles such as luxury or exotic vehicles as well as classic cars, antiques and collectors. Car transport by this method provides more protection from the elements as well as theft, but can be more costly and more restrictive. Some cities and towns have restrictions on certain roadways for certain size trailers, which can prevent door to door delivery.

Auto transport can take up to 14 days depending on distance. East to west and west to east coast trips take on the longer side versus north to south or south to north trips as well as mid west to either coast. Traffic, weather, breakdowns and other elements can slow transport as well.
