OPEN Car Shipping

Open Trailer is one of the safest, most widely used and popular methods of shipping in California. Open transport allows you to set and schedule pickup and delivery times and can be loaded and unloaded relatively quickly. Cars not shipped in an enclosed environment and can get slightly dirty from traveling down the road, as expected.

ENCLOSED Car Shipping

Classics, exotics, motorcycles and powersports are better served with enclosed transport. Low ground clearance vehicles will also require enclosed transport, as even a hydraulic lift gate or ramp will be of little use if the driver is unable to get the car aboard. By choosing enclosed transport, your vehicle is guarded from much of the weather and road-related potential damage, becoming an additional consideration when transporting your cherished vehicle.

Top 5 Things to Consider When Transporting a Car To or From California

  • Open carriers are less expensive and widely used. Enclosed carriers provide extra protection from weather conditions and flying debris, perfect for luxury or vintage cars.
  • Door-to-door delivery is the most convenient, allowing you to bypass terminals altogether. Nevertheless, certain areas (such as narrow city streets or rural areas) might be unreachable for large carriers. In such a scenario, you might have to meet the driver at a nearby location.
  • California traffic and seasonal demand may impact delivery times. Think ahead, particularly during peak times such as summer or the holiday season. Reserving early provides more flexibility and frequently cheaper rates.
  • Fees vary based on distance, vehicle, mode of transport, and timing. Watch out for prices that appear too low – they might be accompanied by some surprise bill or substandard service. Work with a reputable provider such as Vehicle Transport Hub that has clear pricing and no surprises.
  • Clean your vehicle inside and out, take out personal belongings, and take photographs of any pre-existing damage. This facilitates an easy inspection process and provides reassurance once your car arrives.

FAQs About Transporting a Car to Another State

Most carriers advise against it as a result of weight restrictions and safety issues. If permitted, minimize personal effects (less than 100 lbs) and refrain from putting valuables in there because they are not covered under transport insurance.
