We've discussed the idea of enclosed auto transportation services before on this blog, and have talked in-depth about how it works, why it's an important part of the car shipping industry and who can really benefit from it. Enclosed transportation is used when vehicles that can't really be driven on the highway for any length of time need to drive on the highway for a length of time. High-end vehicles that are really expensive, flashy cars that you show to people to impress them and drive them only in ideal conditions are the types of cars that you want to haul in an enclosed container, and this is the best way to go about getting the most out of enclosed auto transport.
Using an enclosed carrier to ship something common and budget, like a Toyota Corolla or Honda Accord, really isn't going to be all that great of an idea, because it's either going to be a huge waste of money for you - since you could easily just hire an open carrier due to your vehicles' relative inexpensiveness and the fact that you drive it every day anyway - and it would likely also be a huge waste of time for the carrier, since they could be hauling a car that is actually worth it instead of charging Joe Schmo an arm and a leg to ship his Hyundai Elantra.
There are cars that are the worth the expense of enclosed auto transportation, and there are those that aren't, and the question comes down to how much you value your vehicle over its Blue Book. Something like a 2014 Ferrari is a car that could be shipped enclosed, but a 1987 Porsche 944 that needs some work doesn't really need to be moved on an enclosed carrier . This is pretty much how you go about getting the most out of enclosed auto transport services, because anything else is a waste of money. Only use enclosed auto transportation services for vehicles that need it, such as classic cars, rare cars, high-end sports or luxury cars, as anything else is likely a waste of money. Open transport is better for lower-end vehicles and even many mid-range vehicles, as they are considered daily drivers and open shipping will expose them to the same risks as daily driving and nothing more.
