2019 Audi S4 — open carrier or enclosed for a normal enthusiast car?

RotorDaily416Community StarterMay 26, 20262019 Audi S4 Premium PlusWashington DC

2019 Audi S4 Premium Plus, about 133,000 miles. The car is valuable to me but not exotic. Enclosed transport costs noticeably more. When is the extra protection actually worth paying for versus a reputable open carrier? I am in Washington DC.

I would not stare at the monthly. Two 2019 Audi S4 quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. Then the comparison gets honest. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
