Most consumers choose open transport because it’s the least expensive option and they don’t have vehicles that require enclosed transportation. In Addition, there are far fewer enclosed carriers then open carriers so consumers can get their vehicles shipped quicker.
The primary disadvantage of open car transport is your vehicle is exposed to the elements, including the weather, road elements and vandalism. While damage from the open environment is rare, it does happen. At the very least, your car will arrive dirty upon delivery using the open carrier option.
Enclosed auto transport provides total protection from the elements. It is an ideal option if you’re shipping a car that you don’t want exposed to any weather or road debris or possible vandalism or theft. Most consumers that choose enclosed car shipping have restored classic cars or rare expensive cars (think Ferrari’s, Porsche’s, Lamborghini’s, etc.).
The main disadvantage to enclosed transportation is the cost. Expect to pay approximately 50% - 100% more for enclosed vs open shipping. Another disadvantage is it usually takes longer to get a car shipped in an enclosed trailer because there aren’t as many carriers available that offer enclosed shipping.
At the end of the day, however, the choice between open vs enclosed transportation will depend on your shipping needs and budget.
