Ship a Tesla Roadster (2008–2012)

The Tesla Roadster (2008–2012) has approximately 4.5″ of ground clearance. That clears most standard ramps, but Citadel still loads the Roadster (2008–2012) on a liftgate-equipped enclosed carrier when the car is lowered or fitted with an aftermarket splitter.

Soft nylon straps are wrapped around the tires only, never the bodywork, suspension, or frame. The Roadster (2008–2012)'s 2,723 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.

Citadel requires every carrier assigned to a Tesla Roadster (2008–2012) to carry a minimum of $100K in cargo coverage ($250K tier). For examples valued above that figure, we arrange supplemental gap coverage to the vehicle's full declared value before dispatch.

Enclosed transport for the Roadster (2008–2012) runs $2.00–$3.40 per mile in 2026. A typical 1,500-mile shipment costs roughly $3,000–$5,100, with the exact figure driven by lane density, distance, and pickup flexibility.

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.
