Open vs. Enclosed Transport: California to Texas
Open carrier transport is the most popular and affordable option for California to Texas car shipping. About 90% of customers on this route choose open transport. Your vehicle travels on a multi-car hauler alongside 7–10 other vehicles.
Enclosed carrier transport is recommended if you're shipping a luxury, classic, or exotic vehicle worth over $50,000. The vehicle travels in a fully covered trailer protected from all weather and road debris. Enclosed costs 30–40% more but provides maximum protection.
Both options include Bold's $0 deductible full coverage insurance at no extra charge — a benefit most competitors don't offer.
