If you have an expensive, collector car, you may choose to use an enclosed transport over a long haul route of thousands of miles. Expect to pay though a few hundred more dollars typically versus an open transport since the transport may only carry 4 or fewer vehicles. The added level of protection may be of interest to you else maybe price means everything.
