What is Open Trailer Transport?
Open trailer transport is the same method manufacturers use to ship brand new vehicles from factories to dealerships. Your car is loaded onto a multi-level carrier alongside other vehicles and transported to its destination.
This method is safe, efficient, and the most cost-effective way to ship standard vehicles. While your car is exposed to the elements during transport, the risk of damage is extremely low — the same as driving your car on the highway.
About 90% of all vehicles shipped in the US use open transport. It's the industry standard for good reason.
