Open Transport

Open shipping is less expensive than enclosed shipping and can be considered an option for any regular car and most sports cars. This mode of delivery could also be appropriate when the car owner has no problem with the car being in open during transport.

On the other hand, open transport leaves the car exposed to outdoor elements such as rain and road debris. Enclosed transport is more protective and might be considered when there is a need for more protection for a special or collection car.

None of the two modes of shipping would automatically fit all deliveries and the decision could depend on the particular case, preferences and budget.
