subject: Types Of Auto Transport Services [print this page] In transporting your car from one place to another, it is important that you determine which is the most cost-efficient and reliable auto transport service available. It is also important that you determine which type of auto transport service that you need.
Basically, auto transport services can be divided into two types; closed shipment and open shipment.
Open shipment is the most common type of service that most auto transport companies are offering. Not to mention, this is also the most economical and cheapest way of transporting your car from one place to another. But along with the advantage of having the cheapest service there is are some of the disadvantages. Since your car will be transported and loaded in a trailer, your car will not have a protection from foreign objects such as dust, snow, rain, or other debris. This type of service is recommended if you are shipping a normal car. But if you need to transport your luxury, classic, or customized car, this type of service is not recommended.
Enclosed auto transport is the right type of service that you need if you are transporting your special car. In closed car shipment, your car is loaded in a closed container van wherein it is protected against foreign objects. Your car will also have the protection from the sun or rain. This type of auto transport service is the best service if you don't want your luxury car's safety to be put into jeopardy. But this type of service is more expensive compared to the traditional way of shipping your car.
Either service is better than driving your own car all the way up to the destination. They will not only save you from the stress and hassle of driving your car but also they will provide you more savings in transporting your car from one place to another.
