Equipment for all vehicles:

  • Open or Enclosed - Choose this if you're open to either open or enclosed transport. Carriers will propose the most suitable option based on availability.
  • Climatic Control - For high-value or sensitive vehicles requiring temperature-controlled transport. Typically used for luxury, prototype, or specialty vehicles.
  • Exclusive truck - Select this to reserve a dedicated truck. All vehicles in this request will be transported together on the same truck, with no other vehicles added.

Equipment for single vehicle:

  • Flatbed / Tow - For local or short-distance moves, often used when the vehicle is inoperable or needs individual handling. Not suitable for long hauls.
  • Enclosed - Provides protection from weather and road debris. Ideal for luxury, exotic, or collector cars requiring extra care.
 

Equipment for multiple vehicles:

  • Open Carrier - The most common and cost-effective option. Cars are transported on an open trailer exposed to weather and road conditions.
  • Soft Side - A covered trailer with soft curtain sides for some weather protection. Offers more coverage than open, but less than hard side.
  • Hard Side - Enclosed trailer with rigid walls offering full protection from the elements. Suitable for high-value or sensitive shipments.
  • Hard Side (liftgate) - Same as hard side but includes a hydraulic liftgate for safe, low-clearance loading.Recommended for low-profile or specialty vehicles.
