A car carrier is a large, specially designed truck used to transport multiple vehicles at once. These carriers come in different configurations—open or enclosed—and are commonly used in the auto transport industry for moving cars between manufacturers, dealerships, auctions, rental fleets, and private customers.

Open car carriers are the most widely used type, featuring a two-tier trailer that can typically hold between 7 and 10 vehicles. These carriers expose the vehicles to the elements but are cost-effective and efficient, making them ideal for standard shipping needs.

Enclosed car carriers, on the other hand, provide a fully covered environment that protects vehicles from weather, dust, and road debris. They are preferred for transporting high-value, luxury, antique, or exotic cars where added protection is essential.

At Interlane, we work with certified carriers equipped with both open and enclosed trailers, allowing us to match the right equipment to your vehicle type and shipping requirements. Each carrier must meet strict licensing, insurance, and safety standards to ensure reliable and secure transportation.

Choosing the right type of car carrier depends on your budget, vehicle type, and desired level of protection. Our team can help you make that decision based on your unique needs.
