Your auto transport company will offer you one of two ways to transport your car, by open trailer or enclosed trailer. An enclosed trailer car transport service can cost anywhere from 25 percent to 50 percent higher than an open trailer.

If you're not sure you want to spend that much money, here's what you get in return for spending significantly higher on an enclosed trailer.

Protection from the elements: Your car will be subject to all kinds of possibly harsh weather conditions during auto transport. With out the protection of an enclosed truck, there might be some amount of damage

Security: An enclosed truck will offer greater protection against vandalism or damage that's caused on purpose.

Peace of Mind: You can relax knowing that your car is safely ensconced inside a hard sided trailer that's built for super protection.

If you need to transport an exotic car or expensive sports car, you might want to try an exotic car transport service company that will transport your car in an enclosed truck. If your car is an old that one that you plan to change soon, you might find the hefty extra charges on an enclosed trailer unnecessary. Either way, the choice is entirely yours.
