Definition of open carrier
This type of transport does not protect your car from the elements. Your car is exposed on the outside of the truck, but more cars fit on the truck, and that lowers the cost of transporting your car. Damage from the elements is rare, but can occur. Most people are willing to take the small risk to save a considerable amount of money.
Why open carrier auto shipping?
Open carrier transport is by far the most popular form of auto shipping. It is not used only by people on a tight budget. Many dealerships, auctions, collectors and individuals use open car carriers because it is a cost-effective option.
Door-to-door auto shipping
Door-to-door transport costs less than terminal-to-terminal transport, and you can save a considerable amount of time. The advantage is that there is no need to drop off or pick up your car at a terminal. We pick it up and drop it off at the location you choose.
Terminal-to-terminal auto shipping
Terminal-to-terminal transport requires the customer to drop off and pick up the car at a terminal. Open carrier terminal-to-terminal transport is the most affordable auto shipping service available.

Most asked questions about auto shipping
How long does it take to ship my vehicle?
Here are some examples of delivery times after pickup. They are estimates only. East coast to west coast or west to east is approximately 7-14 days. Central US to east coast or central to west coast is approximately 5-8 days. Southern states to northern states or north to south is approximately 5-8 days. Pickup and delivery within your state is approximately 1 to 3 days. East coast to Hawaii is approximately 20 to 30 days. West coast to Hawaii is approximately 10 to 20 days. These times are averages and can change. For example, if your car is not picking up or delivering in a major city, it may need a second truck, and that could cause a delay.
Is your shipping service door to door?
Yes. The truck driver will get as close to your door as he can legally and safely. Many cities restrict large trucks from some residential areas. If your home is restricted by narrow streets, low-hanging trees, low bridges, speed bumps or tight turns, the driver may ask you to meet the truck at a nearby location.
How far in advance should I schedule the shipping of my vehicle?
Next-day transport is available at a premium price, but we recommend you schedule your car transport as far out as you can, to help ensure a smooth pickup and delivery.
Do I need insurance coverage for my vehicle?
Make sure your car is insured. Carriers carry coverage for your car, but if the insurance company denies a claim for any reason, you do not want to be stuck with the bill or fighting the insurance company on your own.
Can I leave personal items in my vehicle during shipping?
Personal items are not insured, and carriers are not responsible for missing or damaged items. Ask us about the limit before you load anything.
What is the difference between an open and an enclosed carrier?
An open carrier does not protect your car from the elements, but more cars fit on the truck, which lowers the cost. Damage from the elements is rare, but can occur. An enclosed carrier protects your car from weather, rocks and theft, and costs more. These drivers have more experience with high-end cars.
