Enclosed vs Open Trailer

Enclosed vs Open Trailer: Which One Should You Choose?

 

logo (1)Auto shipping needs are as varied as your taste in cars. Therefore, the lowest cost option is not necessarily the best option for your car moving needs. Besides the usual cost determinants: shipping distance, shipping time, and size of your vehicle, your shipping cost will also depend on whether you choose an open trailer or an enclosed trailer to ship your vehicle.

Auto transport companies will quote a higher price if you decide to choose an enclosed trailer as opposed to an open trailer. However, an enclosed trailer also offers the most protection for your car. So understanding your vehicle transport needs beforehand allows you to narrow down your choice of auto transport companies.

An Open Trailer is the most frequently used and the least cost option for transporting cars. An open trailer is also a very safe form of auto transport and is also the widely used option for transporting cars. However, as the name suggests this option exposes your car to dust, debris, moisture, and other weather-related elements as it would during the regular use of your vehicle.

The cars with larger investments also require more protection and special care during transportation. If exposure to weather-related wear and tear including dirt, debris, and moisture are a concern for you then a weather-controlled enclosed trailer should be your choice. At Nexus Auto Transport, we take additional care to ensure that your cars receive the best protection with high strength tie-down straps to keep your vehicle safely in place inside the trailer, car cover to protect it from any dirt, debris, or moisture, and low clearance loading ramps for safe and easy loading and unloading

 

sWhether you choose an open trailer or an enclosed trailer, it is always advised to take pictures of the car from several different angles, make a written note of any chips, scratches and damage on the car, and remove custom products and personal items before the transport. Also, make sure that the auto transport company that you choose is fully insured, licensed and bonded to protect your investment from any unforeseen circumstances. Do a little research of your own on the authenticity of the company and on the service quality of the company based on reviews online. You can also talk to agents over the phone to get a sense of the service that you would be receiving so that you can enjoy your peace of mind while your vehicle is on the road without you.
