Moving everyday vehicles affordably on shared, uncovered carriers across short and long distances.
Open car transport lets you move a vehicle without driving it to the destination. Whether you are relocating, buying a car in another state, or sending a vehicle to a family member, open car transport provides a practical option for moving standard vehicles over long distances.
Vehicles are loaded onto uncovered trailers that typically carry several cars at once. During open car transport, vehicles remain exposed to weather, dust, and normal road conditions. Transit time depends on the distance, route, pickup access, traffic, and carrier availability.
