When transporting a car between cities, you choose between an open carrier and an enclosed carrier. The right choice depends on your car's value and your budget.
Open carrier
- Cars travel on an open multi-car trailer.
- More economical and widely available.
- Exposed to weather and road dust during transit.
- Ideal for standard, everyday cars.
Enclosed carrier
- Cars travel inside a covered, closed carrier.
- Maximum protection from weather, dust and debris.
- Costs more and may need advance booking.
- Best for luxury, premium or vintage cars.
Which should you pick?
For a regular family car, an open carrier offers good value. For a high-value or luxury vehicle, an enclosed carrier is worth the extra cost for full protection.
Either way, insist on care
Whatever the carrier, the car should be properly secured, documented with photos at pickup, and ideally covered by transit insurance.
