How to Determine the Best Car Transport Truck for Your Needs?
May 8, 2023
When it comes to choosing a car transport truck, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.

At Budget Auto Transporter, we understand that you want the most bang for your buck, so we recommend open transport trucks for most daily drivers. These trucks are able to haul a variety of different vehicles, including SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks. We offer a variety of open transport trucks, including ten-car haulers, three-car haulers, five-car haulers, and six-car haulers. However, we can't guarantee which size truck will move your vehicle, as carriers will assign trucks based on availability and proximity to you.
Open transport
is often the best option for vehicles that are driven regularly. One of the major pros of open transport is the price, specifically because the vehicles they ship tend to be daily drivers. By hauling multiple cars at a time, carriers can charge less per vehicle while still turning a profit on the route. However, there is an increased risk of damage on opentransport trucks, as vehicles are exposed to inclement weather and road debris. That being said, damage is actually less common on a transport truck than it is driving yourself.
Enclosed transport
trucks are a great option if you're shipping an expensive vehicle that you only drive on weekends, for instance. They protect vehicles from damage better than open trucks and are a great option for those who are willing to pay more for additional protection. However, enclosed trucks are more expensive than open trucks, as they can only usually ship 2-6 vehicles at a time.
Conclusion:
Choosing the best car transport truck depends on your specific needs. If you're shipping a daily driver, open transport is likely your best option. If you're shipping an expensive vehicle that you only drive on weekends, enclosed transport is a great option. At Budget Auto Transporter, we offer a variety of open transport trucks to fit your needs.
