What is the difference between open and closed trailers?
The most popular and commonly used trailer is the open trailer. These trailers carry anywhere from 10-12 vehicles at a time. Open trailers are less expensive than closed trailers. However, open trailers will subject your car to the elements of nature, such as rain, snow, wind, and dirt. Still, unless you are shipping your vehicle through extreme climates, this option should be fine. If you own an expensive or classic car that you wish to protect from the elements during hauling, closed carrier may be worth the extra cost. A closed trailer is a vehicle that has a covered freight area.
