Easy, Unexpected Deal

Arranged to have my 1982 Volvo 242 shipped over the phone. The shipping company called and made it easy to schedule the pickup. The driver was great. To my surprise it was an enclosed hauler for a very affordable price. Will definitely use Nexus next time I need a car shipped!

Professionalism That's Worth More

I researched and got a few quotes to ship my Jeep on a truck instead of driving. Nexus was a bit more expensive than others, but sounded and looked more legit then the competition so I Got my car delivered by Nexus from LA to Dallas last week. It was a great service and their timing was as promised. I definitely recommend using them even if it costs you more, it was worth it for their professional service and my peace of mind to have my car arrive safely and promptly.

Planning Another Shipment

Vehicles picked up and delivered on time, even with crazy supply chain issues and fuel prices. Decent rates, and reliable service. The driver who transported our car did a great job loading and unloading, and the car arrived a bit dirty but in perfect condition. I plan on calling them when we ship our car back in the spring.

A New Go-To Company

First I was working with another transport company and for three days I didn't hear anything. So I contacted Nexus Auto Transport and the communication was outstanding. They communicated with me daily and responded within minutes when I needed them. They transported my 65 mustang from Colorado to Houston in no time. They will be my go-to auto transport company from now on.

In the middle of a moving emergency, the dispatcher hustled for me and scheduled the pick-up of my 2020 Fusion the very next day. The agent offered me a very affordable rate which was hundreds of dollars cheaper than the first company I called. The truck-drivers and Nexus agent were kind people and just overall great in terms of service. I would definitely recommend using to anyone looking to move their car over a long distance

Transparent, Highly Recommended

I was connected with a very reputable auto transport person. My contact with the initial gentlemen was excellent. He answered all my questions and explained how the process would work. There was follow-up contact to be sure my pick-up was scheduled and that all was satisfactory with the arrangements. I would definitely recommend Nexus Auto Transport to anyone in need of this type of service.

Rare Level of Service

Excellent service, efficiency, and care for my vehicle. Moving cross country was very difficult overall, but not in regards to my vehicle. Our driver was incredibly quick, careful, and caring whilst transporting our car. Customer service is excellent from this firm, which is very rare nowadays. I recommend this company with 0 apprehensions.

Seamless 5-Star Service

My experience with Nexus auto transport was excellent....definitely 5 star. The assigned driver was on time and thoroughly briefed me on the procedures he would follow and the route he would take. He kept me informed of his progress and was very accommodating to a change I requested in the day and time for delivering the vehicle. The service was seamless from initial phone call to the drop off. I would use the service again without hesitation.

Excellent, Friendly Service

The communication was excellent, they made sure the vehicles were delivered quickly and they also coordinated with the pick up location, who was not ready on time. As soon as vehicles were ready, they picked up the same day and delivered the next morning. Driver was friendly and put vehicles right where we wanted them.

Impressed, Not Stressed

I was nervous about picking a car transport company because I was reading so many negative reviews about being charged a different price, not being able to get in touch with the carrier, the car never being picked up etc. I chose nexus because I was impressed with how easy it was to get in touch with them, and their non aggressive sales approach. The car was picked up on time, I was able to speak to the driver for updates and it arrived on time. I was not charged extra and it was very stress free. I was very impressed and would recommend nexus to others

Nexus found a driver very quickly and for a cheaper price to ship a vehicle cross country (AZ to GA). Driver was very professional and delivered the vehicle on-time and without issue. I have used other transport companies in the past but I will use Nexus from now on. Great job to the Nexus team.

No Hassles, Great Communication

I shipped two cars all the way from west coast to east coast, and both cars were transported with no hassle from the day I booked with Nexus. Customer support was always easily available on phone, once a driver was assigned, their dispatch team was also very communicative. One of my cars were delivered in two days, I wasn’t really expecting it to be this fast.

Earned a Repeat Customer

I recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle here in Gilbert, AZ and needed a reliable Auto Transportation company to pick up and deliver my vehicle to Sacramento, CA safely. Richard from Nexus was great and provided on-time delivery for me. The driver was professional and handled my vehicle with care just as I expected. I use transportation service at least twice a year and Nexus will be my choice of Auto Transportation from now on. Thank you Nexus!!

Flawless, Excellent Transaction

I received a quote within minutes and it was better priced than the other half a dozen ones I received. Actually, I was a bit skeptical because of that. However, I went along with my gut feeling and used them. They did an excellent job! I put them directly in contact with the party I bought the car from and they did the rest. They picked up the car on schedule. Then, a day later I received a call from the driver letting me know he was in town and on his way to drop off my vehicle. The whole transaction was flawless and done by text and email. Definitely recommended and I will certainly use them again.

I used nexus to send my car from Washington to Florida and back again in 2021. Both times they were up front with the pricing, took very good care of my car and delivered the car earlier than expected. I was nervous to send my new car on an open truck across the country, but now I wouldn’t think twice about using nexus to do it.

I did my research! Nexus Auto Transport has an A+ rating on the BBB and I agree! The contractor, Tony, picked up my car and was great with communicating with me along the way. The customer service was great as well with scheduling everything. The price was fair and the service was great! Be cautious with those other companies that under quote - you get what you pay for!

Flexible, Affordable, Fast

This was the first time we shipped a car, so it was a little scary but it turned out great. Customer service was always helpful, the price was the best we found and the carrier that picked up our car was reliable and flexible. It was faster than expected and they were happy to change the drop off location (in the same town) at the last minute. Would recommend and use again.

Satisfied To The Fullest!

The agent from Nexus was an absolute pleasure to work with and had great customer service skills. We had another reservation with another company who wasn't following up and felt helpless. When we started a new search, he was able to get our new reservation booked, payment processed and vehicles picked up within 24 hours! I was relieved and satisfied to the fullest! He fulfilled and exceeded our expectations and thank you again!

Can't Beat This Service.

Needed 2 cars transported from New Jersey to California. The agent from Nexus Auto Transport provided a fast quote that was very competitive with clear expectations of timeline for payments, pickup and delivery. They subcontracted for actual transport which had some hiccups, but the agent was my advocate and made sure everything went smoothly with the shipping team. He is very responsive to text and calls. Ultimately our cars were delivered safely and EARLY! Can't beat that.

FAQ

Yes, you can keep your license plates when selling your car in Texas. Once you finalize a car sale with a car dealer or private buyer, take your plates off the car. Use a razor blade or safety knife to peel your registration sticker off the plates slowly. You can't use the registration sticker when buying a new car in Texas, but this eliminates any confusion when transferring it over. Using a previous registration sticker on a new vehicle purchased in Texas is considered fraudulent.

Texas license plate transfers are allowed if:

  • You're transferring from a previously owned car to a new car registered in Texas.
  • You're transferring plates to a vehicle you already own.
  • Your Texas license plates are less than seven years old.

You may also recycle or return your plates to a Texas DMV location.

You must pay the equivalent sales tax on a private car purchase in Texas. If you buy a vehicle from a licensed Texas car dealership, you'll pay 6.25% in sales tax and a title transfer fee averaging around $30. A private car buyer is also required by law to pay a 6.25% sales tax fee when buying a car privately in Texas. When you research "selling my car in Texas," just remember to factor in applicable fees and taxes.

Yes. You can transfer a car title online in Texas through the Texas DMV portal. You must pay all applicable title and licensing fees via the online portal unless you schedule an in-person appointment.

To transfer a title online in Texas, you'll need the following documents:

  • Signed proof of vehicle inspection
  • A Texas state ID card, driver's license, passport, or other form of official ID.
  • A dated and signed VTR-130U form from the Texas car buyer and seller.
  • A dated and signed Texas vehicle title authorized by both buyer and seller.
  • Proof of active insurance facilitated by the car buyer.
  • All applicable Texas car title transfer fees.

Notarizing a bill of sale for large purchases, such as buying a new or used car in Texas, is beneficial. It is a significant safeguard against potential scams and legal issues down the road. However, it is optional if a correctly transferred Texas vehicle title accompanies the bill of sale.

No, it is not required to have a car title notarized in the State of Texas. If the seller correctly signs and prints their name on the back of the Texas vehicle title, you may proceed with the transfer. However, notarization is a good step for an added bit of peace of mind.

To protect yourself from potential liability when you sell a use car in Texas, in the case of an accident or other incident, you should provide a Vehicle Transfer Notification to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles within 30 days of the official bill of sale. If you provide notification after the 30-day period, you will not be guaranteed a release from liability.

Texas is one of eight states that does not assess income and capital gains tax at the state level. Other than applicable sales tax, you do not have to pay capital gains taxes to sell a car in Texas. However, depending on the amount of the sale and other extenuating circumstances, such as tax brackets, you may have to pay federal gains taxes when selling a vehicle in Texas.

You need a Texas vehicle title to sell a car. If you do not have the title on hand, contact your local Texas Department of Motor Vehicles office to secure a replacement. Provide the Texas car title to the buyer with proper signatures, an odometer reading, and the official sale date. Selling a car in Texas without a title is illegal in Texas.

There are many ways to sell a vehicle privately in Texas, including face-to-face, via Craigslist, via a third-party car selling site, or at a showcase. However, it is often more advantageous to sell a car to a Texas car dealership, especially when dealers compete to buy your car. The best place to sell your car in Texas is often a trusted Texas car dealer.

The state does not require a bill of sale when selling a car to an individual in Texas for a vehicle unless the car is bonded. The car seller only needs to provide you with the vehicle title and ensure all applicable fees and signatures are provided. There must also be no lienholders listed on the Texas vehicle title.

You need to sign the following forms when selling an automobile in Texas:

  • The official Texas vehicle title.
  • Form 130-U (Application for Texas title)
  • Bill of sale (if desired)

To sell a used car in Texas, a seller will also need a government-issued photo ID and proof of current Texas liability insurance.
