About Us
What is Open Car Shipping?
Open car shipping puts your vehicle on a flatbed or multi-deck carrier alongside other cars. The carrier travels highways and major routes, making deliveries along the way. Your vehicle is secured with tie-downs and straps designed for safe travel.
This isn’t a risky budget option. It’s the standard method used by dealers, rental companies, and regular people every day. The open design simply means your car sits on an exposed platform rather than inside an enclosed trailer. Open carriers run full routes across Florida and nationwide. Most carriers have regular stops in major destinations such as Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and other cities across Florida and the U.S. I Ship coordinates pickup with a carrier traveling along your route and schedules a pickup window that works for your shipment.
What Does Open Car Shipping Cost in Coral Springs?
Open transport pricing isn’t a fixed number. It depends on several real factors.
- Distance matters. Shipping from Coral Springs to Orlando costs less than shipping to New York. The farther the trip, the more the cost.
- Vehicle size. A compact sedan costs less than a large pickup truck or SUV. Heavier vehicles take up more carrier space.
- Season changes the rates. Winter sees higher demand for Florida-bound shipments. Summer rates for northern routes increase as families relocate.
- Route demand. A route with lots of carriers available stays cheaper than a rarely-traveled route.
- Pickup accessibility. Narrow driveways or gated communities without carrier access may add fees or require you to meet the carrier at an alternate location.
- Fuel costs. When gas prices rise, carriers adjust rates. This affects your quote.
Your quote reflects current carrier pricing, your route, vehicle type, and shipment details.
Open vs. Enclosed Car Shipping

Weather exposure | Yes | No |
