Professional and Stress-Free Transport
Tiger Transport was recommended to me while shopping for an Auto transport company. Their quote was competitive but their process and personal communication was professional. I chose Tiger, although they weren't the lowest price. Chris handled the details of my transport from Las Vegas to Sarasota FL, seamlessly. Chris kept in constant communication with me to keep me aware of the pick up, transport and delivery schedules. read more...A year ago

Same Day Pickup, Next Day Delivery
We have never needed to transport an automobile before. This company and their website are so straight forward and easy to navigate! They picked up our vehicle the same day and it was delivered to a neighboring state the next day! Leo was our contact person. He went above and beyond!

What Is Open Carrier Car Shipping?
Open carrier auto transport is America's most popular vehicle shipping method, accounting for nearly 90% of all car shipments nationwide. Your vehicle travels on a multi-level trailer alongside other cars, exposed to the elements but securely fastened. Unlike enclosed car shipping, open carriers provide door to door car shipping at budget-friendly rates, making them ideal for coast to coast car shipping and state to state car shipping.
How Long Does Open Carrier Shipping Take?
Vehicle delivery timelines vary by mileage, highway networks, and carrier availability. Open transport typically completes faster than enclosed due to higher truck volume on popular corridors. Here's a realistic look at transit speeds:
Standard Transit Times
• Short-Distance Moves: 1-4 Business Days • Long-Distance Hauls: 6-10 Business Days
- Open carriers run daily schedules on high-traffic interstate routes. Direct metro-to-metro connections move quickest, while off-highway destinations extend pickup coordination.
Actual Route Timeline
Regional (Under 600 mi): Georgia to Tennessee completes in 2 days via I-24; California to Arizona takes 1–2 days on I-8
Mid-range (600–1,400 mi): Colorado to Texas needs 3–4 days through I-25/I-40; Florida to New York spans 4–5 days up I-95
Coast-to-coast (1,800+ mi): Washington to Massachusetts requires 7–9 days crossing I-90; California to Florida takes 6–8 days via southern I-10 route
Enclosed Transport
Enclosed haulers offer weather protection but travel on boutique schedules with smaller fleets. Premium transport generally requires 2–4 extra days compared to open carriers.
What Can Impact Delivery Time
- • Weather conditions or seasonal demand
- • Traffic congestion or route adjustments
- • DOT-regulated driver hours and rest periods
- • Pickup or delivery locations with restricted truck access
Tips to Avoid Delays
- • Reserve early during peak seasons like snowbird relocations
- • Stay flexible with pickup and delivery windows
- • Choose Door To Door Car shipping near accessible streets

Open vs Enclosed Car Shipping
Tiger Auto Transport
At Tiger Auto Transport, we offer both open and enclosed car shipping to match your vehicle, budget, and timeline.
-
Open Car Shipping Open car shipping is the most common and cost-effective option for everyday vehicles. It is widely used for Door To Door Car Shipping, State To State Car Shipping, and long-distance moves such as Coast To Coast Car Shipping. Because open carriers transport multiple vehicles at once, this method offers faster availability and lower pricing.
-
Enclosed Car Shipping For high-value vehicles, Enclosed Car Shipping provides maximum protection. Cars are transported inside a covered trailer, making this option ideal for Classic Car Shipping, Luxury & Exotic Car Shipping, and vehicles traveling to Auto Shows Shipping. Enclosed transport helps protect against weather, road debris, and external exposure.
-
Which One Is Right for You? Choosing the right shipping method depends on the type of vehicle, distance, and level of protection needed. Regardless of the option you select, Tiger Auto Transport works exclusively with licensed and insured carriers to ensure safe and reliable delivery.
