Open vs. Enclosed Vehicle Transport
| Open Trailer | Enclosed Trailer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | The most economical option. | Costs more than open transport. |
| Protection | The vehicle rides on an open carrier and is exposed to weather and road dust. | The vehicle is fully covered, protected from weather, dust and road debris. |
| Best For | Everyday cars, SUVs and trucks. | Classic, luxury, exotic or high-value vehicles. |
What Affects Vehicle Shipping Cost?
| Pricing Factor | What It Means | Why It Changes Your Quote |
|---|---|---|
| Distance and Route | How far the vehicle travels, and where. | Longer trips cost more. Routes between major cities are usually cheaper than remote or rural pickups. |
| Vehicle Type and Size | What you ship and how much space it takes up. | Larger, heavier vehicles such as RVs, boats and pickups use more trailer space and cost more. |
| Trailer Type | Open or enclosed transport. | Enclosed transport costs more than open transport. |
| Vehicle Condition | Whether the vehicle runs. | Inoperable vehicles need extra equipment to load and unload, which adds cost. |
| Timing | Your pickup date and flexibility. | Flexible dates can lower the price; tight deadlines and peak seasons cost more. |
Pro Tip: Before pickup, remove personal items and take dated photos of the vehicle from all sides. It makes the condition check at delivery quick and clear.
