An open carrier is the most commonly used method for transporting vehicles across Canada and the United States. These carriers are long, multi-level trailers that can typically accommodate up to nine vehicles, making them highly efficient for moving cars in bulk.

Because open carriers do not have a roof or sides, the vehicles are exposed to the elements during transit, including rain, dust, snow, and road debris. However, this method is completely safe and widely accepted, especially for standard or non-luxury vehicles.

Interlane utilizes a trusted network of open carriers to offer cost-effective and timely vehicle shipping services. This method is ideal for dealerships, fleet management, and individual customers who are looking for an affordable option without compromising safety or service quality.

All vehicles transported on open carriers are fully insured and inspected upon pickup and delivery, ensuring peace of mind throughout the shipping process. While enclosed transport may be recommended for exotic or classic vehicles, open carrier transport remains the industry standard for most vehicle moves.
