Auto Transport Services: Open Transport
Trying to decide between an open and enclosed transport carrier? Open auto carriers are more affordable than enclosed transports, although this does mean an increased risk of damage. Debris from the road may be kicked up from tires or on-coming traffic and scratches and dents are possible.
You’ve probably seen many double-decker open auto transports on the highway with up to 12 vehicles being transported at once. Bear in mind your vehicle will be exposed to the elements, including hail, rain and snow. Vehicles above may even leak fluids or drop debris onto your car.
Top Load Option with Open Transport Carriers
Most auto carriers offer a premium option when shipping your vehicle
called top load. Always ask your auto transport company if they offer
this option and how much extra it will cost. While your vehicle will
still be open to weather elements, the risk of damage from road debris
and other vehicles is virtually eliminated.
Single Level Car Transports
If you want your vehicle delivered quickly and won’t be shipping it
very far, a single level carrier is yet another type of open carrier
you may want to consider. This carrier is a flatbed trailer that hauls
between one and three vehicles at a time.
This is the best choice for trucks and SUVs, along with vehicles that have larger-than-stock tires installed. You’ll get faster delivery times with this option because they haul fewer cars and have much faster turnaround rates. If you are only shipping your vehicle a short distance and need it there quickly, look into a single level transport option.
