Automobile carrying, also known as auto transport or vehicle shipping, refers to the professional service of transporting automobiles from one location to another. This can include moving vehicles over short or long distances, both domestically and internationally. Carrying vehicles may be necessary when individuals or businesses relocate, purchase or sell vehicles remotely, or need to transport cars for various reasons. Auto transport companies use specialized carriers to ensure the safe and secure movement of vehicles, offering options such as open carriers for standard transport or enclosed carriers for added protection, particularly for luxury or classic cars.
