Enclosed Auto Transport

Is enclosed auto transport worth the extra cost?

Enclosed auto transport is completely different then open auto transport.

Open auto transport happens on 10 car carriers with 5 cars on the bottom and 5 cars on the top. This does leave the cars exposed to the elements, although not as exposed as if they were being driven. The elements that the cars are exposed to are wind, dirt, dust, tiny pieces of rocks, dust and twigs, snow, ice, rain and once in a while hail.

Enclosed auto transport will cost between 75% and 100% more then open auto transport so the cost benefits may vary from person to person and may depend upon the newness of the paint job. New cars are shipped from Detroit and the ports to dealers on open auto transports because the factory paint jobs are very tough. New or Candy paint jobs may be softer and more prone to catch dust.

Do wintry conditions call for enclosed transportation? If my car is not shipped enclosed, will it get covered in sand from the road?

Enclosed auto transport happens in containers that are completely enclosed and locked down. There are no more then 2 or 3 cars per truckload. There is no exposure to the elements.
