The term ‘Open Car Transport’describes this type of auto transport fairly well. Open shipping refers to open car carriers with the capacity to haul ten cars at one time.These trailers are the industry standard, and nearly all cars that are shipped travel by this method. Many people are familiar with this method because it is seen in many places.
Example of a Open Carrier
Most dealerships get their vehicles by open shipping, and these car carriers are seen on the highways quite often
There are a few drawbacks to open shipping that consumers should be aware of. One of the most prevalent is the fact that these shipping options leave vehicles open to the elements.While this usually results in no problems, there are occasional issues with hail and other roadside debris. It is important to know this before you ship your vehicle in the event that there is damage done in transit.
This is why proper insurance coverage is so vitally important, because in many cases, the shipping company has no way of controlling the elements that your vehicle is exposed to, like rain, snow, wind, storms, and all other types of road debris.
