Sports Car Transport Companies

Most sports cars should move on an enclosed trailer. Here is why that matters.

Open transport puts your car on an exposed multi-car carrier. It is the standard method for most everyday vehicles and it works fine for them. For a sports car with a low front splitter, wide body kit, or a paint job that cost more than some people’s cars, road debris, weather, and road grime are real risks over a long haul.

Enclosed transport puts your car inside a covered trailer, protected from weather, dust, and debris from start to finish. It costs roughly 30 to 40 percent more than open transport, but for most sports car owners it is not a difficult decision.

We offer both. If you want open transport and understand the tradeoffs, we will do it. If you want enclosed, we will set that up. Either way, we will tell you what we would do with our own car.

How much does it cost to Shipping Sports Cars?

Sports car shipping costs depend on several factors. There is no single number that applies to every move.

What affects the price:

• Distance: Longer hauls cost more in total but less per mile. A coast-to-coast move will run less per mile than a regional hop.
• Transport type: Enclosed costs 30 to 40 percent more than open.
• Vehicle size: Wider, longer, or taller cars may require specific trailer configurations.
• Inoperable vehicles: Cars that cannot roll, steer, or brake under their own power cost more due to the equipment required to load them.
• Pickup location: Rural pickups can add cost and time compared to major metro areas.
• Timing: Booking further out and staying flexible on pickup dates generally gets you a better rate. Rush moves and holiday windows cost more.

As a rough guide, enclosed sports car transport runs approximately $1.10 to $1.50 per mile for shorter hauls and can drop below average per mile on longer cross-country routes. Get a quote for your specific car and route rather than relying on averages.

How long does it take to Transport a Sports Car?

A few factors affect how long it will take to ship your sports car. Distance is the most important, but the time it will take to pick up your car also matters. It’s typical to take a few days to do so.

Weather and road conditions are other factors. Our truck drivers traveling through different states can encounter inclement weather or detours.

Last but not least is traffic and other stops. Road congestion or travel to remote areas will cause delays, while our truck drivers may have to make other stops to put more cars on their trucks. Also, with snowbirds transporting cars to warmer states, including Florida, during the summer, you need a sports car shipping company that is knowledgeable in all things Florida-related.

Booking ahead of time and being flexible with dates will not only give you a lower price but best prepare your car for faster shipping. If you are shipping in a single-car trailer, the driver will not have to make other stops to pick up more cars.

Deciding on whether to pack your sports car

It’s a personal choice whether you should leave personal possessions inside of your sports car. For some people, it’s better to do so because they don’t have room in their moving van or another car, or it’s more cost-effective to leave belongings inside rather than shipping them separately.

Keep in mind that the additional weight of items inside the car will incur an additional cost, and you should not have valuable items. Plus, new sports cars tend to be heavy, and weight factors into the shipping cost. It’s important to let our truck drivers know if you have cargo inside.

Preparing your Sports Car for Transport

A little prep before pickup keeps the move clean and protects you if anything needs to be documented.

• Wash the car so any existing scratches or damage are visible and easy to note
• Photograph the car from all angles before the driver arrives
• Remove personal items from the interior
• Take off any exterior accessories that could shift or come loose in transit, including bike racks and spoiler extensions
• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel, no more
• Disable aftermarket alarms if possible, or leave the fob and disarm instructions with the driver
• Walk the car with the driver at pickup and confirm the condition report before signing

Auto transport insurance

People who own sports cars tend to have more expensive insurance than those with regular cars. However, sports car owners naturally want to know if we cover for any damages incurred during transport, such as dangerous weather or fire.

All car transport companies are required by federal law to have and maintain car shipping insurance. Feel free to ask us for a copy of our insurance policy. Also, if you have cargo, it is a good idea to ask for cargo insurance.

The number one reason for damage to cars during shipping is negligence by drives. However, we have over 25 years of experience with shipping cars, especially sports cars.

Sports Car Transport Cost

It typically costs about $1.50 per mile for 1,500 miles to move a sports car. However, the price per mile decreases with a longer distance. Hence, it costs $1.15 a mile for 1,000 miles. If you are shipping your sports car coast-to-coast, it can cost as little as 90 cents per mile. These costs account for enclosed shipping.

How much to get a sports car shipped?

Sports car shipping has several factors that determine the cost per trip as well as per individual car. Make and model, distance, weight, condition, transport type, transport tier, location, route, season, scheduling, flexible pickup date, multiple cars, and a possible discount for being a repeat customer, seasonal traveler, or active military member are all factors.

Shipping a sports car typically costs about $1.50 per mile for 1,500 miles. On the other hand, a longer distance lowers the cost per mile although the initial cost is higher. It costs about $1.15 a mile for 1,000 miles. But if you are shipping your sports car coast-to-coast, it can cost as little as 90 cents per mile.

Transporting sports cars automatically will cost more than shipping regular cars because they are more valuable and require careful handling. Plus, it is best to transport them with enclosed shipping.
