The type of truck used to transport your vehicle depends on the shipping service you select. In most cases, your car will be moved using a large multi-vehicle trailer, either open car carriers or enclosed trailers. Open car carriers are the most commonly used and budget-friendly option, while enclosed trailers are best suited for luxury cars, classic cars, or vehicles with low ground clearance that require added protection.
Open carriers typically feature two decks and can haul 7-10 vehicles at once. If you choose enclosed transport, your vehicle may be loaded into either a soft-sided trailer with extended ramps or a hard-sided trailer equipped with hydraulic liftgates, ideal for high-end or delicate vehicles.
