Why Most Customers Choose Open Transport

For the vast majority of vehicles, open transport delivers the right balance of price, speed, and protection. Here\'s why it\'s the go-to choice.

The Most Cost-Effective Option

Open transport consistently offers the lowest shipping rates. By carrying up to 10 vehicles per load, costs are shared, giving you professional transport at the best possible price.

The Industry Standard — For Good Reason

This is how car manufacturers deliver new vehicles to dealerships. It's trusted, proven, and used for millions of shipments every year across the United States.

Fully Insured Every Mile

Every open transport shipment is covered by the carrier's active cargo insurance from pickup through delivery. A Bill of Lading inspection protects you on both ends.

Faster Pickup Windows

Open carriers are far more plentiful on every route. That means shorter wait times, more scheduling flexibility, and quicker dispatch than enclosed transport options.

Is Open Transport Safe for Your Car?

The short answer: yes. Open transport is the exact same method car manufacturers use to ship brand-new vehicles from factories to dealerships. These carriers are engineered specifically for vehicle transport, with secure loading systems and experienced drivers who do this every single day.

Your vehicle is exposed to the open air during transit, which means it may collect road dust or require a quick wash upon arrival. However, actual damage from weather or debris is extremely rare. Every shipment includes cargo insurance and a full pre- and post-delivery inspection to document condition at both ends.

If you\'re shipping an everyday car, a recently purchased vehicle, or anything that isn\'t a high-value collector item, open transport is the smart, cost-effective choice. Get your free quote with BMD Freight and have your car on the road within days.
