How Can You Ship a Car at a Low Cost?

Open carrier auto transportation is the most cost-effective way to transport your autos from Texas to Georgia. It's not just the cheapest option, but it's also significantly faster than enclosed transportation. The most significant disadvantage of this mode of transportation is that it exposes your vehicle to the elements, such as the sun and rain.

Enclosed shipment, on the other hand, is far safer than open shipping, particularly if you're transporting a vintage or custom-made vehicle. In addition, this strategy is more expensive than using an open carrier.
