What is the difference between open and enclosed
transport?
There are many differences between open and enclosed
trucks. Open trucks are capable of hauling up to ten
vehicles at a time. Enclosed trucks have the ability to
transport three to six units depending on the type of
trailer and size of each vehicle. On an open transport
truck, the vehicles are exposed to weather conditions.
In an enclosed truck, vehicles are sheltered from all
natural elements (wind, rain, objects falling from the
sky, and debris flying up from the road). When loading
vehicles into enclosed trucks, vehicles are driven up
ramps or onto hydraulic lift gates. Enclosed transport
does not expose the vehicles to metal components where
as an open truck uses chains to secure vehicles by their
tow hooks. Insurance coverage for enclosed transport is
also a greater coverage amount because the units being
hauled are usually of greater value.
What vehicles are recommended for enclosed transport?
All Star Auto Shippers will give you the option of
enclosed transport for any auto. It is recommended that
luxury cars, sports cars, restored classics, low
clearance autos, and new vehicles be transported in an
enclosed truck. Vehicles with less than four inches of
clearance should be transported enclosed to avoid
scraping and underbody damage. Some vehicles such as
golf carts and ATVs must be transported in an enclosed
truck because of the smaller wheelbase. High-end and
exotic cars will also be required to be transported in
enclosed trucks. These vehicles must be transported
enclosed because of their high value. Insurance coverage
on an open transport will not be sufficient for high-end
and exotic vehicles.
How much insurance does enclosed transport cover?
All of All Star Auto Shippers’ enclosed carriers have a
minimum $1 Million in liability and a minimum $100,000
cargo per unit. This added insurance coverage is
required for enclosed transport and is available to
customers at no extra charge.
How will my vehicle be loaded into the enclosed
transport truck?
All Star Auto Shippers ensures the star treatment during
the loading and transporting of your vehicle. Vehicles
being transported by enclosed truck are loaded up ramps
and onto lift gates. The lift gate is used to ensure
maximum safety while loading. This keeps vehicles level
at all times, eliminating any drive line strain or
undercarriage damage. Once the lift gate reaches truck
level, the vehicle is then slowly driven into the truck
and secured in place. A soft-tie nylon (no metal
components) strap is used to hold vehicles in place.
These straps are placed around the tires and tightened
securely. Air ride suspension cushions the ride through
rough, bumpy roads. Many enclosed trucks even have
padded soft sides to eliminate door damage. All Star
will also ask its drivers to minimize metal (such as
belt buckles) surroundings during the loading and
unloading process.
