Open transport involves transporting vehicles on an open-air trailer, providing a cost-effective and efficient option for most standard vehicles, but with exposure to weather and road elements. Enclosed transport, on the other hand, utilizes enclosed trailers or containers, offering maximum protection and security for valuable or specialty vehicles, albeit at a higher cost and with limited availability. The choice between the two depends on factors like vehicle value, budget, and personal preferences, with open transport being more common and affordable for everyday cars, while enclosed transport is ideal for luxury, classic, or high-end vehicles that require enhanced protection during transit.
