**OPEN VS. CLOSED TRANSPORT:Open Carriers: vehicles are visible and open to weather and other road conditions; the cost is significantly less ($200 to $500 cheaper). Enclosed Carriers: vehicles are protected from weather, dirt, and other road hazards; their cost is approximately 33% higher than the open carriers.**OPEN (Roll on-Roll off) VS. CLOSED (Containers) SHIPPING:Some ports allow both Roll-On/Roll-Off and Container shipping while others only allow Shipping by container. Roll-On/Roll-Off Shipping: vehicles must be in running condition; vehicles are visible and open to weather conditions; cost is significantly less if you are only shipping one vehicle. Containers: vehicles do not have to be running; can be cheaper than Roll-On/Roll-Off if you are shipping more than one vehicle from and to the same location.
