Open transport
Open carriers move most of the vehicles shipped in the country and cost less than enclosed. Your car is strapped down and rides exposed to the weather, much as it would on the road.
Nine services, one vetted carrier network, one point of contact. Every shipment is arranged by Genius Auto Trans as a licensed broker and carried by a vetted, FMCSA-authorized carrier.
Open carriers move most of the vehicles shipped in the country and cost less than enclosed. Your car is strapped down and rides exposed to the weather, much as it would on the road.
Enclosed trailers protect against road debris, weather and prying eyes, and carry fewer vehicles per load. Expect a higher price and a smaller pool of carriers, which can widen the pickup window.
The driver comes to your home or business rather than a terminal. On narrow or restricted streets you agree a nearby meeting point with the driver, usually a wide lot or a main road.
Motorcycles are secured in a wheel chock and soft-strapped through the frame or bars, never the suspension. Enclosed is the usual choice for anything with paint you care about.
We work a narrower pickup window with carriers already running your lane. Expedited costs more because the carrier reorders its route for you, and it is still a range rather than a guaranteed hour.
Hard-sided enclosed trailers, liftgate or low-angle loading for ground clearance, and carriers matched to high-value vehicles before. The carrier’s cargo insurance certificate is available on request before pickup.
Auction and dealer pickups have gate hours, release forms and lot fees that a private driveway does not. Tell us the lot and the buyer number and we coordinate release with the carrier.
We schedule around report dates, move-in weeks and base access rules, and can pick up from a family member’s address if you have already left.
Oversize loads need a carrier with the right trailer, tie-downs and clearance for your dimensions, so measurements matter. Send us length, width, height and weight and we match accordingly. Permit and route rules vary by state.
Tell us the route and the vehicle. We'll come back with a quote and a vetted carrier.
