Open vs. Enclosed Motorcycle Transport
Both options get your bike where it's going. Here's how they differ.
Open transport
Your motorcycle rides on an open trailer, often alongside other vehicles. It's a widely used, practical option for moving a motorcycle from one place to another.
- Vehicle is exposed to road debris and weather during transport
- Loaded and secured alongside other vehicles on the same trailer
- A practical choice for many riders and shipments
Enclosed transport
Your motorcycle rides inside a fully enclosed trailer, shielded from the road and the weather for the entire trip.
- Protection from road debris, dust, and weather
- Not exposed to the elements during the trip
- A common choice for vehicles that call for extra protection
Which one is right for you?
Neither option is always the better choice — it depends on your vehicle, your budget, and your own preference. If you're not sure which fits your situation, request pricing for both and decide once you can compare them side by side.
