Open vehicle transport refers to the transportation of vehicles using an open trailer, where the vehicles are secured and protected but are not enclosed. This type of transport is often used for standard vehicles and is more cost-effective than enclosed transport.

Enclosed vehicle transport, on the other hand, involves the use of a fully enclosed trailer to protect the vehicles from the elements and other external factors during transit. This type of transport is typically used for high-end, luxury, or exotic vehicles, as it provides additional protection and security for the valuable vehicles. Enclosed vehicle transport is generally more expensive than open transport but offers a higher level of protection for the vehicles being transported.
