Ferrari 488 — New York to Los Angeles

The Challenge

The client was relocating from Manhattan to Beverly Hills and needed to transport a 2022 Ferrari 488 Spider valued at $350,000. The vehicle is a low-clearance exotic requiring liftgate loading, and the client needed delivery within 10 days to align with their home closing date. Any cosmetic damage — even a minor rock chip — would be unacceptable given the vehicle's value and the client's intention to display it at a collector event shortly after arrival.

The Solution

We arranged fully enclosed transport with a hardside carrier equipped with hydraulic liftgate loading, eliminating any risk of underbody scraping during the loading process. A dedicated transport coordinator was assigned to the shipment, providing the client with daily GPS tracking updates and direct phone access throughout the journey. The carrier was vetted for $1,000,000+ cargo insurance coverage and had a verified track record of exotic vehicle transport. We coordinated pickup timing with the client's building management in Manhattan and delivery timing with the new residence's gated community security in Beverly Hills.

The Result

The Ferrari was delivered 2 days ahead of schedule in absolutely pristine condition — zero damage, zero issues. The client inspected the vehicle at delivery, confirmed it matched the pre-pickup condition documentation photo-for-photo, and left a 5-star review. The vehicle was displayed at a Concours event in Malibu the following weekend.
