Affordable Way of Hauling
Moving your car in an enclosed trailer with walls and a roof is similar to driving a bigger version of an eighteen-wheeler. This strategy is ideally suited for high-end, exotic, or vintage autos. Open car shipping is far more common, and it is the form of car shipping you have seen on the road, with carriers moving autos on exposed decks. Enclosed car shipping is more expensive than open-car transportation.
