Open transport is the standard option and works well for this route. Your vehicle stays on the carrier trailer for the entire trip including the ferry crossing. Enclosed transport is available for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles that need full protection. On a ferry route, enclosed keeps your car sealed from marine air and weather during the crossing.
