McLaren P1 transport FAQ
What is the ground clearance of the McLaren P1, and does it need a liftgate carrier?
The McLaren P1 has approximately 3.7″ of ground clearance. That is below the ~4.5″ point where standard ramp carriers (10–14° of incline) risk scraping the front splitter, so Citadel dispatches a liftgate-equipped enclosed carrier for this model as standard.
How is a McLaren P1 secured inside the enclosed trailer?
Soft nylon straps are wrapped around the tires only, never the bodywork, suspension, or frame. The P1's 3,411 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 McLaren P1?
Citadel requires every carrier assigned to a McLaren P1 to carry a minimum of $1,500K in cargo coverage ($1M+ 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 McLaren P1?
Enclosed transport for the P1 runs $5.00–$8.00 per mile in 2026. A typical 1,500-mile shipment costs roughly $7,500–$12,000, with the exact figure driven by lane density, distance, and pickup flexibility.
How far in advance should I book McLaren P1 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.
