Learn More About Open Carriers

Many people choose open car shipping since it is simple to load the car on, and the least expensive choice. With open carriers, your car is always safe and secured. Whether you are shipping to the next state over or cross country, open carriers are a great way to get your car delivered safely.

Here are some of the reasons that you may want to choose open carrier:

If You are Not Shipping a Valuable or Antique Car

If your car is not particularly valuable, and you don’t mind exposing it to different elements – then the open carrier is a good choice. However, if you have an antique or luxury car with a special paint coating, you do not want that being exposed to elements. There are many things on these rare cars that will be difficult to repair if damaged. If you have a vintage car where only 500 in the world were made, it would be difficult to find the exact parts of the vehicle if damaged.

If You Are Traveling Short Distances

Spending the extra money on closed carriers to go short distances may not be necessary. For example, you may only be moving your car a few towns over. You can save money by shipping your car on the truck with other cars alongside.

If You Know What the Weather Conditions Will Be Like

If you are shipping your car and know the weather conditions, this will be a good option for you. You might be shipping your car for a week from CT to Florida, and know the weather will be sunny. Mild weather conditions such as rain and light snow will be fine for your car. However, if there is more severe weather, you may want to opt for the closed carrier.
