For classic car owners, sentimental value is everything. It’s typically much greater than the financial value. Their classic car is a treasure of sorts. It’s a work of art. Many owners buy their classics from other car collectors, already restored and in perfect condition.
A good majority of classic car owners spend a lot of time trying to bring older cars back to life and their original condition. Classic car restoration usually takes a lot of time. Seeking out the original parts that may be missing or having pieces custom manufactured can be frustrating and expensive. Overall, restoring a classic car to like-new condition has typically proven to be a time-consuming and costly investment.
A quality classic car transport service takes a collector’s love for their vehicle into account. Nexus Auto Transport does all this and more, offering premium car moving services tailored to rare and expensive vehicles and their unique needs.
Classic car owners rarely drive their cars long distances. They usually opt for professional auto shipping services to move a car. There are several reasons for this. Classic car owners opt for professional classic car shipping services to avoid the risks of long-distance driving. They also choose classic auto shipping to minimize the vehicle’s exposure to external hazards such as harsh weather conditions during the car shipping process.
At Nexus Auto Transport, classic auto transport is one of our specialties. We offer two classic vehicle transport options. The most commonly used and cost-efficient method of vehicle shipping is to use an open car carrier. The other available car shipping option is to ship a classic car in an enclosed car carrier. Enclosed classic car transport prevents your vehicle from being exposed to external threats that may be encountered on the road. While the vehicle shipping cost is a bit more than with an open car shipper, it provides your classic car with maximum protection during its vehicle transportation journey.
Regardless of the selected type of vehicle transport service, classic car shipping requires extra precautions. The vehicle moving process begins when the car is loaded and secured to the truck and ends once it is delivered to the desired car shipping destination.
All of our drivers are specially trained to exercise the utmost diligence and caution when transporting classic automobiles. Nexus Auto Transport’s network of vehicle shippers spares no expense. They cut no corners in their quest to deliver you the best classic vehicle shipping experience imaginable.
Nexus Auto Transport, classic auto transport costs vary based on the details of your particular auto shipment.
Rates for classic auto shipping services are determined by multiple factors. These include the make and model of your vehicle, the total distance of your shipment, and whether you choose open classic car shipping or the recommended enclosed auto shipping option.
Secure an accurate classic car shipping quote any time of day. Just head over to our Nexus Auto Transport classic auto shipping cost calculator. With some particulars about your classic auto transport needs, we’ll provide you three comprehensive quotes for classic car shipping services.
It’s easy! Just let our team of classic car shipping experts know that your vehicle is currently in non-running condition. Either notate it when scheduling your shipping services online, chat with us, or give us a call at 224-218-2949.
We’ll make sure that the driver who services your order has the proper equipment ready to load and unload a non-running vehicle. It does cost a bit more to ship a non-running classic car. However, the benefits of classic auto transport with Nexus far outweigh the added costs.
To make the best classic car shipping decision, you need to be fully informed.
First, you should be certain your auto shipping service provider is a reliable and experienced classic car shipping provider. Not all car transportation services have adequate equipment and specially trained carriers for classic car transport. Never rely on anyone but experienced professionals to move a classic car. Only accept the best vehicle transport services you can find for the money.
Secondly, regardless of the experience and attention to detail when shipping a car, road automobile transport always carries some risks. Always verify that your classic car will be fully insured from pickup to vehicle delivery. At Nexus Auto Transport, we offer full auto cargo insurance coverage at no additional cost to you. Your classic car is always insured for the full length of the car shipment.
Auto transport companies that inflate the cost of car shipping aren’t necessarily offering a better vehicle transportation service. Although you’re shipping a car that’s priceless to you, there is no need to overpay.
We invite you to compare our highly competitive vehicle shipping prices with that of other car transport companies. Use our online classic car shipping price calculator to secure a fair vehicle shipping quote in seconds.

Have had several Ferraris shipped across the country. “Hands Down” the best shipping experience I have had. Unbelievable communication from Alex the driver and the entire Nexus Team. Exceeded my expectations on the pick up and delivery time (beat the time by two days). I cannot give high enough praise. I did insist that PA Ferrari use Nexus to ship my new car (sent my trade in with Nexus) and they hired them Highly recommend
After a bad experience with shipping a car in the past I was very leery of having to do so again. However, after contacting Nexus and having Beck transport the car. I will never look elsewhere again if the need arises to ship a car in the future. William sent a quote without needing my email address; he remained in contact with me without any pressure until I committed to shipping the car. I needed to alter the shipment due to weather delays…also no problem! Beck was assigned to be the driver. He was so kind and competent with getting the car onto the truck. He kept in touch while in transport. At the receiving end…again nothing but kind and courteous! I will forever be a customer after this seamless experience! Thank you all so much!!
I highly recommend using Nexus auto transport. They were very professional kept me up-to-date on the entire process right through to delivery. Every person that I spoke with during this process was extremely professional and courteous. My daughter‘s car broke down while on her way home from vacation in Virginia and Nexus scheduled the pick up of her vehicle within 24 hours to transport to Buffalo New York.
I was nervous to ship my car for the first time, especially coming from across the country over 3000 miles away. My car is also low to the ground and I didn't know if they could accommodate it. They made everything smooth and I was able to get a quote for a good price and picked out dates for the delivery. They stayed in touch the whole time which was reassuring. When the car arrived it has no damages and it was taken care of from the drivers. I would recommend nexus to anyone shipping a car especially for military members.
Nexus Auto Transport earned every bit of 5 stars. I needed my mustang shipped across the country on short notice, and they paired me with an excellent driver within hours who picked it up the very next day. Communication was fantastic—the driver provided pickup / drop off locations and texted updates. My car arrived on time and in perfect condition. Pricing was fair and transparent with no hidden fees, and the Nexus team followed up to ensure everything went smoothly. Fast, professional, and truly stress-free—highly recommend Nexus and will use them in the future.
Nexus is a very reliable and professional transport company! We moved across country and they transported our Mercedes G 55. The driver they paired us with was very professional and communicated with us the entire time. We would definitely recommend Nexus auto transport and use them again in the future..
Nexus was great to work with! They were regular communicators and kept me updated every step of the way. The driver / drop off went great. They were extra careful with the car to ensure it didn’t bottom out or get damaged at all. I would use them again if I needed to ship another vehicle.
By far the best experience I have had. I used Nexus transport to transport a car I bought in Sacramento, California to Brandywine, MD. I surprisingly found them along with a few other companies via TikTok. Yes, I was looking for realistic reviews on transport services, I checked Nexxus reviews through google and through BBB and they had the best reviews out of all the other options. I booked them on 11/4 for a 11/15 pickup. They called me the next day after booking online, the customer service from the initial call was thorough and pleasant, they followed up 3 days later to confirm pickup and let me know the company contracted to pick up my car would reach out to me 3 days prior to pick up in which they did, the call was pleasant. Even though I felt so nervous about the whole ordeal, the company called the day of confirming he was in route. The driver was pleasant and on top of it with completing onsite paperwork, he took about 60 pictures and was on his way. He was supposed to arrive to MD on 11/20 but ended up arriving a day early, which was perfect! I would rate this company 5 stars. My daughter's car arrived in perfect shape and early. Thank you so much! I'm so happy I found a reliable company.
I’m a returning customer with Nexus Auto Transport. First time I shipped my full size 2024 GMC Sierra SLT from a dealership in Alabama to my home in Southern California. The process was simple and straight forward. I called them over the phone and booked the delivery. Last week I purchased a 2024 GMC Canyon from a dealership in Iowa and booked the delivery directly thru the website. I had it delivered to my home in Southern California. Each time I booked, the process was simple and got the best rate possible as I checked other sites to confirm. The vehicles were delivered on time and the drivers were very professional.

Fantastic experience. Our driver showed up with an enclosed two car Towing transport. It only took him 18 hours to go from Portland, Oregon to San Diego California. Communication was fantastic and the car was delivered safely and as expected. Would absolutely use again.
We had a great experience with Nexus Auto Transit in transporting our car from Dallas to San Diego. Timing, value, and communication were all excellent! I highly recommend Nexus to anyone that needs to transport a vehicle!
Very professional and accommodating. I had to change pickup locations and dates a few times and they were so nice about it. Very flexible. No hidden fees or costs. Stayed true to the original estimate. The guys that picked up my car were literally the nicest humans I’ve ever met and very cute. I highly recommend. My car arrived just as it was. Thank you so much!!
Nexus did a fantastic job with my car transport from Texas to Florida. Even though I had mentioned that there was no rush for the delivery. My car was picked up the next day. The driver was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, even providing GPS tracking. Customer service was top notch too, answering all my questions promptly.
I’m actually amazed on how flawless this experience was. I had a 1939 Ford Deluxe shipped from Georgia to Ohio. This vehicle was my grandfathers then my uncles and is very important to me. I was nervous to have anyone handle the car. Nexus and their driver did a fantastic job with handling and care. From quote to delivery was 72 hours! Simply fantastic as was the price.
