What Is Open Car Shipping?

Open car shipping moves your vehicle on a multi-car carrier trailer that is exposed to the road and the weather, the same type of truck you see delivering new cars to dealerships. Because carriers can load several vehicles at once, it is the most widely available and the most economical option, with the shortest wait for pickup on most routes. Vehicles are secured with straps or chains and are covered by the carrier's cargo insurance during transit.

Ideal For

Open Car Shipping is a good fit when you are shipping:

  • Everyday sedans, SUVs, and trucks
  • Budget-conscious moves and relocations
  • Dealer, auction, and online-purchase deliveries
  • Flexible pickup windows

Price Guidance

Typically the lowest-cost option; most routes fall in the lower half of the posted route ranges.

This is illustrative guidance, not a quote and not real market data. Your actual price depends on your vehicle, route, dates, and the company you choose.
