Open is the best-value way to ship a car — which is exactly where the games get played.
A quote a few hundred under everyone else wins your booking. No carrier will run it at that price — so the morning of pickup, the price “adjusts” and you’re out of time to shop.
“Open is risky” is how some brokers double the ticket. Brand-new cars ride open carriers from the factory to the dealership. If your car needs enclosed, we’ll say so — most don’t.
The carrier’s coverage expired months ago and nobody re-checked. If something happens in transit, the policy isn’t active.
So we quote a price carriers accept — and verify them before assignment, not after.
An open carrier is a working truck on a schedule. Our job is putting your car on a good one.
Two cities and your vehicle. Your Transport Advisor calls within minutes with a flat-rate price — no deposit to hear it.
License, insurance, and safety score verified before assignment. You only pay once that’s done.
Pickup at your door, delivery at the other end. Your Transport Advisor stays with you from quote to drop-off.
Book today and your car can be moving this week.
Trailer walls don’t check a driving record. We check every carrier on every load, not once at signup.

A 99% customer satisfaction rate. Here’s what that sounds like.
“We just moved our car from Fremont CA to Dallas TX. Moving can be overwhelming specially when it’s such a long distance but United Car Shipping and Joe in particular makes the car shipping one less thing to worry about. The car was shipped in exactly 3 days.”
“Everyone wanted to charge me an arm and a leg for this last minute request, except United Car Shipping. They came to my rescue! It took only two days for the driver to get my car to Denver from the date that it was picked up.”
“Joe was a huge help and kept his promises. He walked me through the entire process, picked up when he said they would and dropped off on time. It was a relief to get my car in Dallas and I highly recommend United Car Shipping.”
It rides the way it rides on any highway: exposed, strapped down, and insured. Rain and dust wash off. Rock chips are rare because your car sits above bumper height, not behind another car’s tires. And any transit damage is covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance, which we verify before loading.
Yes. We verify each carrier’s current cargo and liability insurance before your vehicle is assigned to them — on every shipment, not just when they join our network.
A little. Top deck avoids fluid drips from vehicles above; bottom deck loads and unloads easier. If you have a preference, tell your Transport Advisor and we’ll note it on the load.
Usually faster than enclosed — far more open trucks run every route, so there are more chances to match your dates. Your Transport Advisor gives you a realistic pickup and delivery window for your lane before you book. No empty “guaranteed date” that falls apart the day of.
Distance, vehicle size and weight, whether it runs, the season, and how busy the route is. What doesn’t decide it: lowball games. We quote a price a real carrier will accept, so it doesn’t “adjust” on pickup day — and you pay no deposit until your carrier is assigned.
Classics, exotics, fresh paint or restoration work, and anything low to the ground. For a daily driver, open is the right call — it’s how 9 out of 10 cars ship. If your car is the exception, we’ll tell you before you book.

Open carrier auto transport is how nine out of ten cars ship — the same open auto transport trucks dealerships use to move their own inventory.
Yes. Door-to-door is standard — the driver gets as close to your address as the truck can legally reach. Terminal-to-terminal trades a little convenience for a lower price: you drop off and pick up at terminals near each end. Your advisor will quote both so you can choose.
Coast to coast usually runs 7 to 14 days. Central-to-coast moves land in about 5 to 8 days, and north-south routes run a similar 5 to 8. Weather, route, and pickup flexibility shift these, so treat them as planning windows, not guarantees.
