What is Open Carrier Transport?
Definition of Open Carrier Transport?
Open carrier transport means your car will be transported on a trailer without a roof or walls. It’s the most common and cost-effective method of shipping a vehicle. This method allows the carrier to haul multiple vehicles at once. That efficiency makes it cheaper than enclosed auto transport, while still being very reliable.
While your car may be exposed to rain, dust, or sunlight during transit, open transport is still a secure and commonly used method for shipping cars across the country. If you’re unsure whether to choose open or enclosed transport, call at 877-325-7288 for expert advice or request a free quote now!
