Open vehicle transportation is a type of service where cars are transported on open trailers, exposing them to the elements during transit. This method is commonly used for shipping multiple vehicles at once and is generally more affordable compared to enclosed transportation.
Most people use open auto transport to ship cars because it’s easier to set up than enclosed transport. Open trailers can carry around 8-10 cars at once, making it cheaper than enclosed transport too.
Open car transport is the fastest way to ship your car. Over 90% of truckers operate an open road auto transport trailer, which means there are more options to pick up your car.
Most people are just looking for the best overall option when shipping a car. Some people, mostly classic car owners, prefer to ship enclosed. But if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, open auto transport is the way to go.
With open vehicle transport, you can add the top load preference for a little extra. This means no vehicle would be loaded above yours during the open car shipping process.
Dealerships almost always use open auto transport when they send cars from one location to another. We work with some of the largest dealers in the country and often haul brand new vehicles for them using open auto transport.
You can pack personal things weighing up to 100 pounds in a box or one big bag. These will go in the back of the car during the trip.
Sure! Your vehicle will be protected by the carrier’s insurance while it’s being transported. We also have our own backup insurance, which kicks in if the carrier’s insurance doesn’t cover everything. This backup insurance can give you up to $250,000 in coverage for any valid claims.
After you’ve ordered, we look for a truck driver to move your car. We’ll pick the best one and tell you when they’ll come. The driver will call you before they arrive to make sure everything’s good.
When you order something, you’ll get an idea of when it will arrive. This depends on how far it has to travel. Sometimes, your order might come quicker than expected.
We can’t track your shipment online. To get the most up-to-date location info, reach out to your trucker or email info@galactologistics.com.
