Open Car Transport is a practical and cost-conscious way to ship cars, SUVs, trucks, and other standard vehicles. OpenRoute Car Transport provides open vehicle transportation from Chicago and other locations based on your pickup and delivery requirements.
When you need to move a vehicle over a long distance, open car transport can be a practical transportation solution. OpenRoute Car Transport provides open vehicle shipping for customers who need to transport cars, SUVs, trucks, and other standard vehicles.
Open transport uses a carrier with an open trailer where vehicles are loaded and transported together. This type of transportation is widely used for everyday vehicles and can be an efficient option for customers looking for a practical way to move their vehicle.
Open car transport means your vehicle is transported on an open carrier rather than inside a fully enclosed trailer.
Open carriers can transport multiple vehicles on the same trip. Their capacity and widespread use make open transportation a common choice for vehicle shipping.
For many standard vehicles, open transport provides a straightforward way to move a car from one location to another without requiring the owner to drive the vehicle long distances.
Open car transport may be suitable for many standard vehicles, including:
Vehicle dimensions, weight, condition, and accessibility can affect transportation arrangements.
One of the main advantages of open transport is practicality.
Open carriers can transport several vehicles during a trip, which can make this method more cost-conscious than specialized enclosed transportation.
Open transport can be useful when:
Chicago is a major transportation hub, making it a common starting point for long-distance vehicle transportation.
If your vehicle needs to be shipped from Chicago to another state, OpenRoute Car Transport can help you arrange an appropriate transportation option based on your route, vehicle, and requirements.
Before pickup, remove personal belongings and valuables from the vehicle.
It is also helpful to:
If the vehicle is not operational, disclose this before transportation arrangements are made.
Pickup and delivery locations should be accessible to the transport carrier.
Because vehicle carriers are larger than standard passenger vehicles, they may not be able to safely access narrow streets, restricted areas, low-clearance locations, or certain residential roads.
If the exact address cannot be accessed, a nearby accessible location may be coordinated.
Transportation costs can depend on:
For this reason, a vehicle shipping estimate should be based on the specific shipment rather than a generic price.
Open car transport is a practical option for many customers who need to move a standard vehicle.
Whether you are relocating from Chicago, purchasing a vehicle from another state, or arranging transportation for a long-distance move, choosing the right transportation method can make the process easier to manage.

Find answers to some common questions about car shipping and vehicle transportation.
Vehicle shipping costs vary depending on factors such as distance, vehicle size, vehicle condition, pickup and delivery locations, transportation type, route, carrier availability, and seasonal demand. A shipment-specific estimate is the best way to understand the expected cost.
Open transport moves vehicles on an open carrier and is commonly used for standard vehicles. Enclosed transport moves vehicles inside a covered trailer and may be preferred for classic, collector, luxury, or specialty vehicles.
Door-to-door auto transport can arrange pickup near your requested location when the carrier can safely access the area. Large carriers may not be able to enter narrow streets or restricted areas, so a nearby accessible location may sometimes be required.
Transportation time depends on the distance, route, traffic, weather, pickup and delivery locations, carrier schedule, and other circumstances. Customers should discuss their desired timeframe when arranging transportation.
Clean the vehicle, remove personal belongings, photograph the vehicle, document existing damage, check basic vehicle condition, and make sure the vehicle is accessible for pickup. If the vehicle is inoperable or requires special handling, provide that information before transportation is arranged.
