This car has 3,000 miles on it, so it's essentially still new.

Open will run me about $600;
Enclosed will run me about $850. The enclosed transport has a lift gate for getting the car in and out, to avoid any clearance issues.

Timing on both of these options is about the same, so that's not a factor.

For those that have done this before, what are you thoughts on open versus enclosed transport based on the info I provided above?

Thanks!
This shouldn't even be a question. My car on open transport travelled 1300 miles got a ton of rock chips all over the car, even on the rims. Dealer resprayed the hood and fenders and one of the rims after I went crazy because there were massive white chips all over them but didn't cover the bumper as it was already chipped up. Really wish I just drove it over myself I'm sure 1300 miles of driving wouldn't have done what that open trailer did to my car. Smh.
