Open carriers happens on 3-10 cars carriers .This leaves the vehicles exposed to the elements of wind,dirt ,dust,snow,rain etc. Although not as exposed as if they were being driven .
Enclosed carriers happens in containers that are completely enclosed and locked down.There are no more than 2 or 3 cars per truck load .There is no exposure of the elements .To load extra cars ,the trailers must be equipped with special equipment for the vehicle bay ,as the picture below show .
Enclosed auto transport will cost between 75% and 100% more than the open auto transport.

*What Is The Difference Between Door to Door And Terminal to Terminal Services
Shipping a vehicle is a lot easier today than it was 10-15 years ago.Many auto transport companies have various options when selecting the type of transport you require,one of those is terminal to terminal car transport versus door to door car transport .
Door to Door Auto Transport is when your car is both picked up and dropped of right at your door ,it is very convenient for both you and the driver ,especially if you live near a main highway, though it is more expensive, for most customers the convenience is worth the extra because your door to door transport company will come to you rather than drop it off at a nearby terminal .This is the most use service today.
Terminal to Terminal Auto Transport is when you deliver your vehicle to a vehicle storage location where the car carrier will then pick up your vehicle.It is delivered to a similar type of location near your final destination. Terminal shipping is often less expensive than door to door service .This service benefits people who want to drop off or pick up their vehicle on specific dates and times.Terminal to Terminal service take longer than door to door but if this is not an issue then terminal shipping is right for you .
*What Payment Methods Is Required
Auto transport companies, like any business accept multiple forms of payments. In general most customers will pay using a credit card .The reason for this is that it is easy to process payments over the phone or even online. Most companies take a deposit upfront for the service,the balance will be paid to the driver when the service is being complete. This balance is paid with cash or check.
