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. I definitely recommend Nexus Auto Transport for all your vehicle delivery needs!

We had a great experience with Nexus Auto Transport shipping my daughter’s Jeep Renegade from Philadelphia to Tempe. From the very first call, their team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Communication throughout the process was clear and consistent, and the pricing was straightforward with no surprises. The vehicle was picked up and delivered on schedule and arrived in excellent condition. This was our first time shipping a car cross-country, and Nexus made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing auto transport services.
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.
