Open or Enclosed Transport for Michigan to Indiana?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

Excellent communication on everything and received my vehicle from California to Indiana a day early. Delivery driver was very helpful. He called often and got as close to my house as he could (one block away) with his large truck in a large parking lot. I walked back to my other vehicle that I came from work with, but he even offered to drive it to my house, and I could drive him back to the truck then in my other car.
