Lotus Emira transport FAQ
What is the ground clearance of the Lotus Emira, and does it need a liftgate carrier?
The Lotus Emira has approximately 4.7″ of ground clearance. That clears most standard ramps, but Citadel still loads the Emira on a liftgate-equipped enclosed carrier when the car is lowered or fitted with an aftermarket splitter.
How is a Lotus Emira secured inside the enclosed trailer?
Soft nylon straps are wrapped around the tires only, never the bodywork, suspension, or frame. The Emira's 3,186 lb curb weight is held by over-the-wheel or wheel-basket straps at all four corners, with wheel sleeves added for forged or painted wheels. No chains ever contact the vehicle.
How much insurance coverage should I have to ship a Lotus Emira?
Citadel requires every carrier assigned to a Lotus Emira to carry a minimum of $100K in cargo coverage ($500K tier). For examples valued above that figure, we arrange supplemental gap coverage to the vehicle's full declared value before dispatch.
How much does it cost to ship a Lotus Emira?
Enclosed transport for the Emira runs $1.80–$3.10 per mile in 2026. A typical 1,500-mile shipment costs roughly $2,700–$4,650, with the exact figure driven by lane density, distance, and pickup flexibility.
How far in advance should I book Lotus Emira transport?
Book 7–14 days ahead for standard pricing and the widest carrier choice. For auction drop-offs, concours events, or pre-purchase inspections, reserve as soon as the date is firm. Door-to-door pickup and delivery is standard; if a full-size trailer can't reach your street, the driver arranges a nearby meeting point.
