Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our open auto transport service.
How does open auto transport differ from enclosed transport?
Open auto transport places your vehicle on an open-air, two-level trailer exposed to weather and highway conditions—identical to how automotive manufacturers ship brand-new cars from factories to dealerships. Enclosed transport houses vehicles inside solid-walled trailers for protection against road debris, typically reserved for exotic or classic vehicles.
Is my vehicle safe from road debris on an open carrier?
Yes. Millions of vehicles travel safely on open carriers each year. Drivers use over-the-tire soft straps (no chains on wheels or frames) to anchor cars securely, avoiding any suspension strain. For added peace of mind, every carrier carries comprehensive primary cargo insurance.
How much does open auto transport cost per mile?
Open transport costs range between $0.50 and $1.10 per mile depending on total distance, vehicle size, and seasonal lane volume. Shorter regional routes feature higher per-mile rates ($1.00–$1.50/mi), while long cross-country routes drop as low as $0.50–$0.70/mi.
