I recently needed to transport my 2015 Porsche GT3 from Oshkosh to Sebring.
Here are some considerations I found important, I hope this is beneficial to other members.
- I needed to decide on enclosed or open transport.
- My preference was to have a lift gate transport and to have my car on the upper level. I did not want the possibility of another car dripping fluids onto my car during transportation.
- I needed to have my car delivered for a specific HPDE event and therefore a guaranteed delivery date was needed. Most transport companies will require a 48 hour period of time for the scheduled pick-up and delivery dates. That made timing very important. Having the car delivered to the track required me to fly two days ahead of the event. A more flexible strategy would be to ship the car to a nearby track support performance shop.
- It is important to obtain insurance certificates of the transporter.
- Contracting a broker can be helpful in securing an excellent transport.
- It is ideal to arrange for final payment by certified check.
