Choosing
Open or Enclosed for a Fort Myers Move?
Choose open when
The vehicle is a daily driver, SUV, pickup or family car; you want the best price; you need the widest choice of carriers and the fastest available pickup; the vehicle already lives outdoors.
Choose enclosed when
The vehicle is luxury, exotic, classic, freshly painted or low to the ground, or the trip ends in winter road salt. See enclosed auto transport.
Either way the process is the same — see how it works — and both are available for car shipping to Fort Myers and car shipping from Fort Myers.
Answers
Open Auto Transport Questions
- What is open auto transport?
- An open carrier is the familiar multi-level trailer that hauls several vehicles on an uncovered deck. It is the most common and most economical way to ship a car to or from Fort Myers, and the same equipment dealerships and manufacturers use.
- Is open transport safe for my vehicle?
- Yes for the vast majority of vehicles. Cars are secured with straps or wheel nets and inspected with photos at pickup and delivery, and every dispatched carrier's cargo and liability insurance is verified before assignment. The vehicle is exposed to weather and road spray, the same as driving the route.
- How much cheaper is open transport than enclosed?
- Open transport typically costs meaningfully less than enclosed on the same Fort Myers lane, because a carrier moves more vehicles per trip. Your exact quote depends on distance, vehicle size, season and both addresses.
- Which vehicles should not ship open?
- Collector, exotic, show and very low-clearance vehicles, freshly restored paint and anything you would not drive in rain are better on an enclosed trailer.
- Can an open carrier reach my Fort Myers street?
- Open carriers are long and tall, so tree canopy on McGregor Boulevard, tight River District streets and narrow cul-de-sacs sometimes require loading from a nearby accessible lot. We confirm access before dispatch.
