Open Auto Transport

The everyday standard. Your vehicle rides an open multi-car carrier, the same way most cars in the country move.

Open transport is how roughly nine of every ten vehicles ship. Your car loads onto an open multi-level carrier alongside a handful of others and travels door to door. It is the most available and most affordable option, and for most daily drivers it is exactly the right call. We dispatch a vetted, insured carrier, confirm your pickup window, and keep you posted the whole way.

What you get

  • Lowest cost and widest carrier availability
  • Door to door, as close to your address as the truck can safely reach
  • Vetted, insured carriers with cargo coverage on every load
  • Pre and post condition report on the Bill of Lading
  • No upfront payment. You pay after pickup.

Best for

  • Daily drivers, sedans, SUVs, and trucks
  • Cross-country and interstate moves
  • Budget-minded shippers who want the best rate

What it carries

  • Sedans and coupes
  • SUVs and crossovers
  • Pickups and vans
  • Most standard passenger vehicles

How pricing works

Everything is quoted upfront, so the number we give you is the number you pay.

Distance The single biggest factor. Longer hauls cost more in total but less per mile.
Vehicle size Larger and heavier vehicles take more space on the trailer, so trucks and full-size SUVs run higher than sedans.
Season and route Popular lanes and off-peak timing price better. Snowbird and summer season runs higher.
Operable condition Running vehicles load faster. Non-running adds a winch fee.

Questions

Is open transport safe for my car?

Yes. Open carriers are the industry standard and carry everything from economy cars to new dealer inventory. Your vehicle is exposed to normal road weather, the same as driving it, and every load is insured.

How far in advance should I book open transport?

Booking about a week ahead gives the best pricing and pickup flexibility. We also handle shorter timelines when a carrier is available on your lane.
