Open Transport

The Smart, Affordable Standard

Open transport is the most popular way to ship a vehicle in the United States — the same method dealerships and manufacturers use every day. Your car travels securely strapped onto an open multi-car carrier, handled by a vetted, fully insured professional driver.

Because open carriers move more vehicles per trip, this is the most economical option, with the widest choice of pickup dates on virtually every route.

  • The most cost-effective transport option
  • Fastest carrier availability nationwide
  • Ideal for sedans, SUVs, pickups, and vans
  • Full carrier insurance included during transit
  • Door-to-door pickup and delivery included

Good to Know

Best For

Daily drivers, family cars, SUVs, and any vehicle where value and reliability matter more than white-glove handling.

Pricing Factors

Distance, vehicle size and weight, route popularity, and season all shape your rate. Popular routes cost less thanks to steady carrier availability.

Timing

Most pickups happen within a few days of booking. Cross-country runs typically deliver in 7–10 days; regional moves much faster.
