Open Car Mover: Why This Is A Great Car Shipping Option

by: Maureen Romensya

When you move from one place to another there are many things you have to worry about. Your automobile is one of them. 

It can be a hassle trying to get your car move to your new location, but not anymore. A shipping company can transport your car for you. 

This article will explain why an open car mover is the best car shipping option. 

First, why should you hire a shipping company to ship your car in the first place? The primary reason is cost. It is cheaper to pay a company to ship your car than it actually is to drive it yourself. The reason for this is a shipping company can transport multiple cars and collect the fees from each owner covering all of their costs, and save you money as well. 

Now, why is an open car mover the best option? Yet again cost comes into play. Most companies will offer a few different transportation options but at the very least will offer open auto transport and enclosed transport. How they decide how much to charge is different for the two types. 

For the open auto transport the cost is calculated by how many vehicles they are transporting and the route the driver has to take. For the enclosed transport the cost is calculated per vehicle and how many miles are driven. Both rates also take into account the fuel prices. 

Open transport carriers are the most commonly seen car transport, with one or two levels of cars. This form of shipping option is reasonably priced and affordable for most people. The cars are loaded onto the transport and it may seem unsafe but they are relatively protected. Because they are 80 feet in length and 14 feet high they typically hold eight to ten cars. 

Enclosed auto transport is probably the better option for protecting your car because it protects it from the weather, but it comes at a price. Enclosed auto transport is typically for luxurious cars and open transport is normally for the majority of cars. 

Open transport is the normal form of car transportation. Not only is it cheaper than enclosed auto transport, but it is also quicker for pickup and delivery. This would be the way to go if you are in a hurry needing your car shipped. 

The advantages for open car transportation are enough to warrant the small risk of damage by weather, which is extremely rare and the companies insurance will cover it most of the time. Cost and quickness of delivery are the two major reasons to go with an open transport option, and while enclosed are safer the open transport option is still safe. 

You know you want to get an auto transporter but the question you have probably been debating is what type. After reading this article you should now feel confident in choosing an open car mover for your car shipping needs.
