MULTIPLE STOPS
If you’re having only one vehicle shipped, your car is possibly in one carrier along with other cars. This means that the carrier will go to different drop off locations. Another factor is that you’ll be expected to pick up your vehicle at a specified drop off location. Usually, this location is a designated terminal initiated by the auto transport company. If you’re not willing to go all the way to the terminal, open transport may not be ideal for you.

PRONE TO ROAD HAZARDS
When a big open carrier is transporting more than five vehicles, there is risk of possible road hazards. One sedan may get into road hazards, how much more a large vehicle carrying multiple vehicles? -
PRONE TO BAD WEATHER
Open car transport would also mean subjecting your car to the effects of weather conditions. Your car is likely to be drenched in water when it rains, or exposed to direct sunlight when it’s sunny. If these are none of your concern, then choose open car transport where you can save more costs.
