The most popular method of auto shipment is open-air vehicle freight. The expense of shipping an automobile is spread out throughout the truck because an open car carrier can hold up to 8–10 cars at once, making this method the most affordable. The average amount of cargo insurance carried by open-air carriers is $250,000 USD. If your car is worth more than $50,000, we advise shipping it wrapped or getting additional insurance if you choose to send it openly. 

The explanation is that only approximately 30,000 per automobile would remain after totaling the truck and all of its stuff. High-end, luxurious, or historic vehicles are most frequently shipped via enclosed vehicle transport because it provides an extra layer of protection from the weather. Another reason enclosed car shipping might cost up to 40% more than open-air car shipping is because enclosed auto transport vessels often have a maximum capacity of 6 vehicles. Cargo insurance for enclosed auto shipping typically provides coverage of up to $1 million, which contributes to its higher cost. Given that there are fewer enclosed car carriers than there are open ones, pick-up times may take a little longer.
