Move Your Vehicle Across the Country Without Driving It There

Open car transport lets you move a vehicle without driving it to the destination. Whether you are relocating, buying a car in another state, or sending a vehicle to a family member, open car transport provides a practical option for moving standard vehicles over long distances.

Vehicles are loaded onto uncovered trailers that typically carry several cars at once. During open car transport, vehicles remain exposed to weather, dust, and normal road conditions. Transit time depends on the distance, route, pickup access, traffic, and carrier availability.

What Is Open Car Transport?

Open car transport moves vehicles on an uncovered trailer that can carry several cars at the same time. It is commonly used to transport standard cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and other everyday vehicles.

Because open carriers regularly travel common shipping routes, this option may offer more carrier availability and flexible scheduling. Sharing trailer space with other vehicles also makes open car shipping more affordable than enclosed transport in many cases.

Your vehicle will remain exposed to rain, dust, sunlight, and normal road conditions during transit. For this reason, enclosed transport may be a better option for classic, exotic, luxury, or high-value vehicles that need additional protection.

Benefits of Open Car Transport

Practical for Everyday Vehicles

Open carrier transport works well for standard cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and many other vehicles used for daily transportation.

Open trailer car shipping can be used for short state-to-state routes or longer cross-country shipments.
