Once thermometers start showing low temperatures and rain becomes a frequent visitor in town, many people start packing their luggage for a seasonal move where they can enjoy the warmth of the sun for the next few months. Others start booking vacations by the sea or plan ski trips in the mountains. This is where seasonal auto transport comes in to save the day. Renting a car for such a long period would be quite expensive and senseless. The best option is to ship your car and save time, gas, and potential wear and tear with professional auto relocation services.
The alternative to seasonal car shipping would be driving a car yourself. But, doing so would be quite stressful and strenuous. Nobody wants to start their seasonal relocation or vacation with such stress and fatigue.
There is a simple and affordable car moving solution though…hiring seasonal auto relocation services! Regardless of where you are or where you go, Nexus Auto Transport provides professional seasonal auto shipping solutions at affordable prices. Our auto relocation services are flexible to your needs. Whether it’s raining, snowing, or the sun is shining bright, Nexus will be there to ship your car when you need it most.
And, to make things easier for you, we offer door-to-door car delivery which means you don’t have to pick up your vehicle at a terminal. That means you don’t have to go out of your way to ship your car or pick it up. We’ll come to you.
The best time to book seasonal car shipping depends on client demand, weather conditions, and your preferred route. Each has savings and challenges. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect.
(March – May)
Early spring is good because the weather is better and carrier availability is higher. Demand will spike around April and May as snowbirds return north, students graduate from college, and families get ready for summer moves.
(June – August)
The most expensive time to ship a car is during the summer season. This is the busiest time, as families relocate, students move, and vacationers want to get their personal vehicle somewhere nice. Many vehicle buyers and sellers, dealers, and auction offers also hit the market.
(September – November)
After the late summer rush, you can often find great deals on seasonal car shipping. Demand eases, except around college move-in weeks or when snowbirds head south. You may also see more weather activity that closes rural or mountain passes.
(December – February)
Winter is usually the cheapest time to ship a car. Carriers have less demand, especially on popular routes between cities. That often means promotions and seasonal deals that save you money.
There isn’t a single cheapest season for all transport options, but winter usually offers the lowest prices. It really depends on your specific vehicle, shipment distance, and route popularity. The best strategy is to book 2–4 weeks ahead of your anticipated pickup date to find the deals and carrier availability you need.
Use our Nexus car shipping cost calculator for free cross-country vehicle shipping quotes. Choose between open car hauling, enclosed car shipping, and expedited vehicle shipping. You can then schedule your delivery online or call us for immediate assistance. We provide the door-to-door shipping you need, whether 400 miles away or from New York City to Los Angeles.
Once booked, we’ll match the needs of your cross-country vehicle delivery to our massive network of vetted, insured, professional drivers. They will provide the equipment and expertise to safely load your vehicle for its journey. Please be sure to be available for pickup or communicate to the carrier any assigned adult who can manage pickup for you. We do ask you to remove any personal items from the car and have the gas tank about a quarter full to reduce overall weight during transportation.
We pride ourselves on fully managing our customers’ cross-country auto transportation experience. The carrier will alert you when they are near for final delivery. Once arrived, you’ll complete a full inspection, comparing the vehicle against the Bill of Lading to ensure it is safe and sound. The full service payment can be made via credit cards or directly to the driver via certified funds.
*Transit times are estimates and may vary based on weather and route conditions.

If you think professionally relocating a car during any season is a great solution but worry it will be too expensive, we invite you to get a free, no-strings-attached car shipping quote. The vehicle shipping quotes you receive from us will be both competitive and accurate. Once we give you a vehicle shipping quote, rest assured you won’t pay a single extra dollar in hidden costs.
Other seasonal auto shippers give customers the runaround when providing car shipping quotes. They’ll give you an initial estimate of auto shipping cost, and then hammer you with added fees and hidden surcharges. The same route can cost a lot different based on the season, so getting a quote early is your best strategy.
Nexus Auto Transport doesn’t play games. We provide instant and accurate car shipping quotes with no fuss. The average cost to ship a car across the country is $1,250 to $2,500. Your seasonal cross-country car shipping quote will vary based on travel distance, driver availability, the car’s make and model, auto transport method, and other extenuating factors.

Snowbirds are a big part of the car shipping industry. Millions of customers travel from homes up north to seasonal retreats down south, and vice versa, in the fall and spring. That can add a lot of traffic to the roads and spike demand with transport carriers. It’s best to get a quote for seasonal car transport 2 to 4 weeks before the expected pickup date to find good pricing and availability, even during snowbird season.

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!
I had a great experience with Nexus Auto Transport. The process was easy from start to finish, and their communication was excellent throughout. They kept me informed every step of the way. The driver was professional, punctual, and took great care of my vehicle. Pickup and delivery were smooth, and my car arrived exactly as promised. I’m very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend Nexus Auto Transport to anyone needing reliable auto shipping.
My experience with Nexus was awesome. The communication I received from start to finish was excellent. I knew what was going on the whole time. The carrier who delivered my vehicle was also very communicative and made sure I was available at the time my vehicle was delivered. My vehicle arrived safely and there was no damage at all. My vehicle was handled with care. I will use Nexus again when I need to transport a vehicle.
Recently, I utilized Nexus Auto Transport to transport my vehicle from Virginia to South Carolina. Nexus Auto Transport demonstrated prompt and efficient handling of my rescheduling request, ensuring a hassle-free experience. My vehicle arrived on time and in pristine condition, at a reasonable price. I am confident in my decision to continue utilizing Nexus Auto Transport for future shipping requirements.
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.
Yes. Nexus Auto Transport offers door-to-door car shipping nationwide. Your assigned driver picks up and delivers your vehicle as close as possible to your specified addresses. If local restrictions, such as narrow streets or low bridges, prevent direct access, your driver will contact you to coordinate a nearby safe meeting point.
Yes. 95% of customers select open transport for affordability and quick scheduling. For luxury, classic, or vehicles valued at $70,000 or more, enclosed transport provides maximum protection from weather, sight, and road debris.
If you’re unsure which option is best for you, call a Nexus transport specialist at (224) 218-2949. We’re happy to assist.
Yes. Professional car shipping is one of the safest ways to move your vehicle long-distance. Every third-party carrier certified by Nexus Auto Transport has been handpicked for their experience, safety records, and overall quality of service.
Your car will be secured and strapped down in an open or enclosed trailer, remaining stationary during transit. This eliminates road wear and mechanical stress from driving a car yourself, along with maintaining the car’s current value.
Most shipments arranged through Nexus are assigned to a third-party carrier within one to three days of your first available pickup date; however, pickup and delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Actual transit times depend on distance, route conditions, weather, traffic, mechanical issues, and third-party carrier availability.
As a licensed transportation broker, Broker Company coordinates shipment with independent third-party motor carriers. While we remain available to assist with communication and provide status updates as information becomes available, all transportation services are performed by the assigned third-party carrier.
Booking your shipment one to two weeks in advance gives Nexus more flexibility to secure the best third-party carrier and rate. We do offer fast pickup services built to minimize wait times and meet tight schedules. Just select “expedited” on the sidebar on your quote retrieval screen to get started.
Driving long-distance adds unnecessary mileage, wear, and fuel costs. It also adds the stress of a multi-day road trip and the potential of lost work income. Nexus Auto Transport takes the load off your shoulders with the help of licensed, trusted professional third-party auto carriers.
Car transport rates shift with periodic supply and demand. Peak seasons (spring and summer) may cost more due to higher demand and limited driver availability. Off-peak times, like late winter or fall, often offer better pricing.

Yes. Call (224) 218-2949 to cancel before a third-party carrier is assigned for a $75 fee. Cancellations and refunds are no longer possible after a vehicle is picked up. If you have questions about your order and its current assignment status, contact us as soon as possible. We’re here to find the solution for you.
If your location cannot safely accommodate a large vehicle carrier due to narrow streets, low overhangs, or tight turns, the third-party carrier will contact you to coordinate a nearby alternative location, such as a grocery store or parking lot, for pickup and delivery.
You, or a designated person over 18 years old must release the vehicle to the third-party carrier at pickup and sign the bill of lading. The same applies at delivery to accept the vehicle and sign off on the condition report.
If you are unable to meet your third-party carrier at one or both points, give us a call at (224) 218-2949, and if applicable, provide us with the name and contact info of your designated party.
Yes. Once our dispatch team okays a third-party carrier, we will provide you with the third-party carrier’s full contact info. While third-party carrier’s cannot respond while on the road, they will do their best to get back to you as soon as possible.
Here are some small tasks for you to perform prior to your driver’s arrival:
