Before Booking

Everything you need to know about open car transport with ADL Logistics.

Open transport is the most common method used by private owners and dealers. Vehicles are exposed to normal weather and road conditions, so enclosed is better for high-value or collector vehicles. For standard daily drivers, open transport is perfectly safe and widely trusted.
On many routes, yes. Open carriers are more widely available, which can improve pickup options and reduce wait times. More carriers on the road means more flexibility for your schedule.
Pricing depends on distance, vehicle type, open or enclosed transport, pickup flexibility, operability, and current carrier availability. ADL reviews each route before presenting the quote — no hidden fees, ever.
A broker coordinates your shipment through a carrier network, vets carrier fit, checks insurance, explains pickup and delivery windows, and helps manage communication through delivery. ADL acts as your advocate from quote to drop-off.
Carriers must carry cargo insurance. ADL verifies carrier insurance before dispatch and can explain coverage details before booking. All carriers in our network are FMCSA compliant and fully bonded.
Yes, but non-running vehicles require the right carrier equipment. The quote form captures whether the vehicle rolls, steers, brakes, or needs a winch — so we can match you with the right carrier.
Usually yes. An authorized representative can handle pickup or delivery if they can inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. Just let your transport coordinator know in advance.
