Open Car Transport
Open auto transport is the most common type of car shipping service. It’s easy to arrange, convenient, and excellent value for money. A car shipping company transports your car, together with other vehicles, using open trailer transport.
Car transport is typically carried out using large haulers that come in two types: enclosed and open. Enclosed carriers provide maximum security by covering the vehicle on all sides, but they come at a cost, typically 40% more than open transport.
On the other hand, open carriers are more affordable and widely accessible, allowing for quicker vehicle pickup and a higher capacity, usually between 8 and 10 vehicles or more at once.
The ability to ship multiple cars at the same time helps reduce costs, which we pass on to customers. For example, transporting a standard sedan from Buffalo, New York, to Los Angeles, California (2,500 miles) in an enclosed container could cost around $1,400, while using open transport would only be $1,000.
Additionally, our open carriers offer up to $100k in cargo insurance. While open transport is not ideal for high-end luxury or classic cars worth millions, it’s perfect for regular and some expensive vehicles, RVs, motor homes, corporate fleets, dealership cars, motorcycles, boats, and even heavy equipment like construction or farming machinery.

Reviews
So glad I contacted Lisca. There's a reason they are so highly rated. Older car or brand new car, any distance, I'd recommend them to anyone. They transported my old Rover from Oregon to Colorado fast and without a scratch. Thanks so much for the fantastic service and communication!
Transporting an expensive motorcycle is nerve racking. I researched a lot of companies, perhaps close to 20. I was bombarded with emails and texts from all these companies. I found out that Google and TrustPilot reviews are not to be trusted as they can be manipulated. I researched on Yelp and Found LISCA. Albert from the initial phone call, took time to explain the process and established a trust promising
It was a smooth transaction and my car arrived safely from Southern CA to Houston, TX. Kudos to the truck driver Gabriel and of course to Lisca Auto Transportation for a job well done. We'll definitely using this company again.
From beginning to end, they were very professional and told me step-by-step how the process works and delivered my vehicle just like they promised. I would highly recommend this company. The prices are fair and the service is great.

Been doing business with this company for years now and no other transport company can come close. Albert is upfront and honest, always on time and has the best prices. Don't waste your time with other dishonest companies only wanting to get the deal but lie about the time frame and don't come through. Thank you for years of excellent service!

From first communication to delivery I received excellent service. I had to reschedule car transport due to moving company shenanigans buyer be ware at my home. Everything with Lisca worked like a dream and my car made it 4 days early cross country. The driver communicated en route he was pleasant and unloaded my car in a blink of an eye. I will use Lisca again thank you for your excellent service.

I had a great experience with Lisca, they were very easy to deal with and prompt in their responses and happily answered my many questions. As a first time shipping an exotic car I had a lot of worries and they made me feel secure in my decision with working with them.

LISCA stood behind me as a Broker when the company they assigned me to, GES Auto Shipping in NE Philadelphia, damaged my car and didn’t want to pay for it. LISCA made sure I was taken care of. Thanks again, Albert!
