Open Transport (RORO) - RORO transport is a type of transport that allows many cars at once to be loaded onto a transport carrier for transport either locally, state to state or internationally.

RORO transport is recommended for most standard passenger cars and trucks.

Enclosed Transport- Enclosed transport is a bit more expensive than RORO transport but it offers added protection from the elements such as weather, flying debris and animals such as birds that could possibly fly into cars on an open transporter. Enclosed transport is ideal for owners of classic, antique, collectors and luxury vehicles who want to ensure extra safety during transport.
