What to know before shipping a sports car

  • Front lips and splitters

    Ask about liftgates or ramp extensions for low cars.

  • Open or enclosed

    Everyday sports cars ship open; enclosed suits high-value or track cars.

  • Wide tires and wheels

    Mention wide or staggered wheels so tie-downs fit.

  • Summer tires in winter

    Drivers may need help moving a car on summer tires in the cold.

  2. Photograph wheels and bumpersThe most common areas for curb and ramp marks.
