What Cheap Method Can I Use to Ship My Car?

The most budget-friendly way to ship a car to Texas from Missouri is the open-air shipping method. This method involves loading your vehicle onto a truck with an open truck bed, usually a platform, and then transporting it to the destination.

This method is a safe and reliable way to ship cars, but it has one downside: there is no cover for shipped cars from bad weather.
