Frequently Asked Questions

Is my car safe on an open trailer?

Yes. Vehicles are securely locked into place using advanced wheel straps or chocks. While exposed to standard weather and road dust—just like driving it on the highway yourself—it is entirely safe from mechanical wear and tear.

How much does open car transport cost?

Pricing depends on the total distance, vehicle size, operational condition (operable vs. inoperable), and seasonal demand. Because we believe in upfront pricing, you can get a precise, no-obligation quote in minutes.

Does insurance cover my vehicle during transit?

Absolutely. Allstates Auto Shipping ensures that every carrier carries comprehensive cargo insurance to protect your investment against any transport-related damage.
