OPEN car shipping
Open trailer transport for your Maryland car shipping requirements is a popular and affordable choice used by most customers and car dealerships to transport their vehicles. With this approach, cars are quickly loaded and unloaded, creating a smooth and efficient process. Keep in mind, vehicles might accumulate some dust or dirt during transit. This is normal when using open trailer transport.
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 owners of classic, luxury or exotic automobiles, motorcycles and powersports, enclosed transport is the preferred option. This method might also be necessary for vehicles with low ground clearance that require the use of a hydraulic lift gate or ramp for loading. Enclosed transport offers the advantage of protecting your vehicle from most weather conditions and road-related concerns.
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

Top 5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Maryland
- If you’re moving to the state longterm, remember that Maryland residents are required to register their vehicle within 60 days of relocating.
- Vehicle insurance is mandatory in the state of Maryland and drivers are required to carry a minimum of insurance. Get insured as soon as you start driving to avoid penalties.
- All of Maryland’s tolling stations are electronic and cashless. Payments are collected through E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate and video tolling. Be sure to remove your E-ZPass when shipping your vehicle to avoid undue fees during transit.
- Vehicles registered in the state of Maryland need to take an emissions test every 2 years. These tests will usually coincide with the vehicle’s registration renewal date. Hybrid vehicles must get a smog check once they are 3 years old.
- There are two instances where Maryland law requires a safety inspection for your vehicle: You just moved to Maryland and your vehicle is registered in another state, or you just bought a new or used vehicle.
Maryland car shipping FAQs
Is my car insured while transporting it to or from Maryland?
Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, we have our own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.
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.
How should I prepare my car for shipment?
We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove or disable any kind of security system that could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.
What types of vehicles can I ship to or from Maryland?
Montway ships all standard types of vehicles such as coupes, sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans, and regular cargo and passenger vans. We can even arrange transport for EVs, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, golf carts, snowmobiles and other vehicle types.
What’s the cheapest way to ship a car to or from Maryland?
A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand. Discover more interesting cheap car shipping tips to help keep money in your pocket.
Can I have my vehicle delivered directly to my home in Maryland?
With Montway’s door-to-door service, you can have your car picked up anywhere in the U.S. and dropped off at your home address in Maryland.
