Should You Buy an Enclosed Car Hauler?

If you’re on the fence about buying an enclosed car hauler, checking out our list of pros and cons below may be helpful! However, if you're still having trouble making a decision, feel free to visit us at our location in Tucson, Arizona. Our experienced sales team can make helpful recommendations based on your preferences and will make sure you walk off our lot completely satisfied with your purchase.

Safety

One of the biggest benefits of owning an enclosed car hauler is increased safety! Your vehicle will be completely protected from the wind and rain as well as any flying debris that could damage the paint or windshield. Thieves are also less of a concern with enclosed car haulers, as the car is typically out of sight, and therefore out of mind. If you are concerned about thieves, you can easily lock your trailer with a basic padlock for extra security.

Convenience

Loading a car into an enclosed trailer is often a bit easier than with an open trailer. These models often come with pre-installed ramps that make loading an effortless task. Even better, there’s no need to spend the extra money (and storage space) purchasing ramps of your own!

Cost

The cost of an enclosed car hauler could be seen as a pro or a con. Unfortunately, these trailers are not inexpensive and will require a bit of an investment. However, trailers tend to depreciate extremely slowly, making it easy to resell your model without much of a net loss. If you’re hauling cars professionally, your customers will likely pay a bit extra to have their vehicles transported in an enclosed trailer for the added security.

Storage Space

While the dimensions of enclosed and open car haulers don’t vary much, enclosed models do tend to have less storage space on average. If you’re looking to carry quite a few vehicles at a time, this model may not be the best choice.

If you decide that an open car hauler isn’t for you, we still want to encourage you to visit us here at APC Trailers for any of your other trailer needs! We proudly serve the nearby cities of Phoenix and Casa Grande, Arizona, have a wide variety of trailers available for sale, and even offer helpful repair and financing services.
