Question 1

How much does it cost to ship a Lucid?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Why is enclosed transport recommended for a Lucid?

Accepted Answer

Air Sapphire and Air Grand Touring: enclosed strongly recommended For high-value or low-clearance models, enclosed is essentially required.

Question 3

What insurance coverage do you carry for Lucid shipments?

Accepted Answer

Citadel requires every enclosed carrier in our network to carry minimum $500K cargo coverage for Lucid shipments. For exceptional vehicles, we arrange supplemental gap coverage to your vehicle's full value.

Question 4

What charge level should my Lucid be at for transport?

Accepted Answer

Charge to approximately 80% — not a full 100% charge. A partial charge is better for lithium-ion battery health during extended storage or transit. Avoid transporting with under 20% charge, as the carrier may need to move the vehicle at pickup or delivery.

Question 5

Should I disable Sentry Mode on my Lucid before shipping?

Accepted Answer

Yes for any Lucid that has always-on camera or monitoring features. These drain the 12V auxiliary battery during transit, which can prevent the vehicle from accepting commands at delivery or interfere with carrier loading systems. Disable Sentry Mode, Smart Summon, and any auto-alarm features before pickup.

Question 6

Does the carrier need special equipment for an EV Lucid?

Accepted Answer

A liftgate carrier is required for any Lucid model in a lowered or sport suspension setting with under 4.5 inches of ground clearance. EVs are also heavier than ICE equivalents due to the battery pack — confirm the carrier's weight capacity before booking high-GVWR variants.

Question 7

How far in advance should I book Lucid transport?

Accepted Answer

7–14 days is standard. For time-sensitive deliveries — auction drop-offs, concours events, pre-purchase inspections — book as soon as the date is confirmed. For snowbird corridor shipments (Florida, Arizona) during October–December or March–April, book 3–4 weeks out to secure carrier availability and avoid peak-season premiums.

Question 8

Do you offer door-to-door pickup for a Lucid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The carrier comes directly to your address — home, dealership, storage facility, auction lot. If the carrier trailer can't access your specific address due to street width or access restrictions, the driver will coordinate a nearby meeting point, typically within a half-mile.
