Our Services

Open or Enclosed — Here's How to Choose.

Open car carrier loaded with vehicles — open auto transport service

Open Transport

The steady standard — right for almost everything you own.

If it's not something you'd garage-keep, Open is the smart, cost-effective way to ship it. Most loads carry 7 to 9 vehicles, so when cars are headed toward the same city, that cost gets spread across the group. The large majority of our open shipments get picked up within 72 hours — most on the very first available date.

Insurance-verified on every load, no exceptions.

Classic Porsche being loaded into an enclosed car carrier — enclosed auto transport service

Enclosed Transport

For anything you'd never want to see with a scratch.

Dream cars, new high-value builds, classics you still drive daily, anything lowered enough that a standard ramp is a real risk — this is where it belongs. Your vehicle rides fully sealed off from weather and road debris — including the flying debris that causes most windshield chips and cracks on the road. We run mostly hardside trailers (some softside), off a network we're selective about: roughly 3 in 10 carriers who ask to haul enclosed for us don't make the cut. Before dispatch, we send you a photo of the actual trailer your vehicle will ride on — not a stock image, the real one.

Insurance-verified on every load, no exceptions.

“I used Approved Auto Transport to ship my Explorer and it went smoothly from start to finish. Jake answered the phone whenever I called and was up front about pricing & timing before I booked. He kept me updated all along the way. My car arrived on schedule with no issues. I look forward to calling Jake next time I move.”
