Your car is one of your most favorite possessions and you do not wish to compromise on any aspect of its shipment, in case you are relocating to another city and wish to take your car with you. There are two types of carrier options which most auto shipping companies will offer you as part of their service. They are open and enclosed carrier trucks. As the name suggests, open carrier trucks are partially or fully exposed vehicles and one open carrier can carry 8 to 10 cars at a time. Enclosed carriers, on the other hand will ensure that your car travels in an enclosed compartment completely separate from other cars. Enclosed carriers can transport 2, 4 or 6 vehicles in specialized compartments, where cars are delivered safe, secure, without getting affected by highway debris, durst or dirt of the roads. Some low riding cars like sports cars are often transported using enclosed carriers. Other cars which are transported in this kind of transport are classic, exotic, luxury and vintage cars. |

Understandably, enclosed carriers are more expensive than open carriers. In fact, it is estimated that enclosed carriers cost anywhere between $300 and $500 more in transportation. The most important reason why people choose enclosed carriers is the safety, security and cleanliness aspects of this form of transportation. No one who owns an expensive car would like to get his car soiled by pollution and weather hazards while traveling on the highways.

The process of locating an auto shipping company who operates this type of service is similar to searching for any company who will ship your car. Yellow Pages, Business Directories and personal referrals are here too but the internet gives you several options and you could check and compare instant quotes from several renowned moving companies. The costing would depend on the type and weight of the car as well as the distance to be traveled. |
