What is the Difference Between Open and Enclosed Carriers?

Open Carriers:

Open trailers are open on top as well as both sides, vehicles are visible and exposed to weather conditions.  Open car carriers can range in size from a small 3 car carrier to a large 10 car carrier and is the industry standard.   The 10 car carriers are seen most frequently on the highway and is the method that car dealerships use to transport their vehicles as well as the most affordable method of car shipping.

Enclosed Carriers:

Enclosed carriers are fully closed which protects your vehicle from weather elements,  almost like a mobile garage.  This method will come with an extra cost but may be the preferred method if you have a vehicle that is an antique, race and show cars, luxury automobiles as well as low riding cars for modified sports cars.
