What makes this service different.
Open carrier transport is the most widely used method for shipping vehicles in the United States — and for good reason. Your car is secured onto a multi-level, open-air trailer alongside several others, delivering a proven, economical solution for daily drivers, SUVs, and light trucks.
Every Safe Ride open transport booking includes door-to-door coordination, GPS tracking from pickup to drop-off, and full insurance coverage while your vehicle is in our care. We hand-pick vetted, licensed carriers for every route and provide a single point of contact from quote to delivery.
