Why the Cheapest Way to Ship Your Porsche Costs the Most

You just bought your dream Porsche. You got a great deal, arranged transportation, and now you're waiting for it to arrive.

But do you actually know who's transporting your car?

And what happens if it never shows up?

I've shipped quite a few Porsches over the years, but there's a lot about the transportation business I've never fully understood. Why can two companies quote thousands of dollars apart for the exact same trip? Is enclosed transportation always better? What happens if your car gets damaged?

And how do you know the company you're hiring is legitimate?

To get some answers, I sat down with Corey Fay of AVI Transportation, who specializes in transporting high-end, exotic, and collector cars.

Corey has moved everything from Porsche GT3 RS models and Lamborghinis to a Formula One car driven by Carlos Sainz. He's also witnessed some pretty unsettling things happening in the transportation industry.

We discuss brokers versus actual carriers, why the cheapest shipping quote might be a terrible idea, how to verify a transporter's insurance, and why allowing a dealership to arrange shipping can sometimes create problems.

Then we get into the really disturbing stuff: fraudulent transportation companies, cars disappearing, and a GT3 RS that suffered extensive damage during a routine tow.

This conversation changed how I'll approach shipping a Porsche in the future.
