OPEN car shipping
The most common type of transport used for Los Angeles car shipping is an open trailer, due to its safety and reliability. Open transport is also efficient and cost-effective, allowing for cars to be easily arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded. However, vehicles may accumulate a bit of dirt during their journey, as they’re not protected from weather and road conditions.
Learn more about open car shipping.
Pros
- More affordable than shipping in an enclosed trailer
- Higher availability, making it easier to book your preferred date
- More fuel efficient than enclosed transportation
Cons
- Vehicles are exposed to the elements during transit
- Trailers often cannot accommodate vehicles with low ground clearance
- Less security and protection from vandalism
ENCLOSED car shipping
For classic, exotic and luxury cars, and even motorcycles, enclosed transport is the preferred option. Vehicles with low ground clearance may need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to load, which would also require enclosed shipping. Cars are protected from most weather and road hazards to provide more peace of mind during the shipping process.
Learn more about enclosed car shipping.
Pros
- Vehicles are more protected from the elements and vandalism
- Often equipped with ramps to load vehicles with lower ground clearance
- Accommodates multiple vehicle types, including motorcycles
Cons
- Less affordable than shipping a vehicle on an open trailer
- Lower availability can make scheduling pickup and dropoff more difficult
- Enclosed carriers move fewer cars at once, which may drive up the cost

Can I ship a vehicle to or from Los Angeles even if it isn’t running?
Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it. Be sure to indicate this when booking your shipment, since specialized equipment will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. If your inoperable vehicle is not able to roll, break and steer it will require added equipment and work, which will be an additional expense.
Can I ship personal items in my car?
With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.
Does someone need to be present for pick up and drop-off?
Yes, a person must be present at both pick up and delivery to sign inspection reports, hand the keys over to the driver and release and accept the vehicle. If you are unable to be there, you must find a person over the age of 18 that you trust to oversee the process.
