Hot take: paying $150 for enclosed shipping was a waste, open carrier got my Civic from Phoenix to Denver just fine for $650
Spent the extra cash on my first move and the car arrived with the same road dust as my buddy's cheap open haul. Did anyone else get talked into enclosed for a normal daily driver, or was it just me?
What did the broker actually tell you to push the enclosed option? Most of the time they just want the bigger commission, since enclosed runs double and their cut goes up with it. Curious if they fed you the whole "rock chips and hail damage" scare or if you picked enclosed on your own. A daily Civic doesn't need a covered trailer unless it's a show car or a lease turn-in where every scratch gets charged back.
