Open car transport is one of the most practical ways to move a standard vehicle between provinces, cities, and border crossings. Your vehicle travels on open auto transport equipment, making this a common option for everyday cars, SUVs, and trucks.

When open transport is a good fit

Open transport can work well when you want a straightforward vehicle move and are comparing practical options for a longer route.

  • Daily drivers and standard vehicles
  • Long-distance relocations
  • Vehicle purchases and dealership moves
  • Moves between Canadian provinces
  • Selected Canada-US routes

Open transport compared with enclosed transport

Open transport places the vehicle on open equipment, while enclosed transport places it inside enclosed equipment. If your vehicle is a collector, specialty, luxury, or high-value vehicle, review our enclosed car transport page as well.

Pickup and delivery choices

Depending on the route and access at each address, you can review door-to-door car shipping or terminal-to-terminal car shipping options. The right choice depends on the locations, the vehicle, and how involved you want to be in each handoff.
