What is door-to-door car shipping?

A door-to-door vehicle transport provider ships cars from one desired location to another, getting as close to each point as possible. When you choose door-to-door auto transport, you control your pickup and dropoff spots.

If you want to ship your vehicle to or from a residential address, the driver will get as close to your home as possible with concern for safety and legal regulations. You don’t have to worry about driving to a terminal, spending gas, and potentially hours on the road.

Some cities and towns prohibit large trucks from driving into certain residential neighborhoods. If access to your location is restricted by low-hanging trees, narrow streets, tight turns, or speed bumps, the driver might ask you to meet in a nearby large parking lot instead for loading and unloading your vehicle.

Your Vehicle is On It’s Way!
Handled with Care & Trust

Door-to-door car shipping is the most convenient way to ship your car in the United States. It’s also the safest and most affordable means of shipping your car, regardless of your pickup and delivery destinations. Nexus Auto Transport is an experienced door-to-door auto shipping provider with 500,000+ customers assisted in 10+ years of operation.

Is Shipping a Car Worth It?

There are many good reasons to ship a vehicle professionally rather than move it yourself or utilize terminal-to-terminal car shipping.

Convenient & Efficient

Shipping a car yourself requires you to make travel plans and clear your personal and work schedule for the long road ahead. Terminal-to-terminal shipping utilizes professional car haulers, yet you must travel to designated spots that could be miles and hours away. Door-to-door car shipping is the simplest solution for moving a car. You don’t have to go anywhere (or very far) to meet your vehicle hauler, meaning less work and more time for the things that most matter to you.

Cheaper Car Shipping

You may pay less out the door for terminal-to-terminal vehicle shipping. However, that doesn’t factor in time, wear and tear, and gas money to go from designated location to location. Transporting a car yourself may also seem more cost-effective, but that doesn’t factor in things like food, hotels, gas, and potential maintenance on the road. Professional door-to-door vehicle transport includes everything in your price tag without sending you out of your way. Door-to-door automotive transportation often comes out cheaper in the end, all things considered.

Dedicated Customer Care

Nexus Auto Transport vets all trucking partners so you can confidently transport a car. All door-to-door shipping providers contracted by Nexus have reputations for safe, secure, and timely vehicle transportation services. Our network of experienced drivers takes every precaution possible to ensure your car arrives at its destination in its original condition. We offer affordable door-to-door shipping rates to locales around the United States and provide personalized customer care to everyone from car dealerships to private citizens, families, and small businesses.

Your Door-to-Door Shipping Guide

Which transport goes door-to-door?

Nexus Auto Transport offers open, enclosed, and expedited door-to-door shipping services throughout the United States. Nexus works with roll-on and roll-off car haulers who safely and precisely transport vehicles from doorstep to doorstep.

RORO door-to-door vehicle transport services are cheaper than door-to-door container shipping, and it’s not even close. While door-to-door container service is a smart play for international vehicle shipping, it’s overkill for domestic car shipping.

Our car shipping cost calculator provides accurate, affordable quotes for RORO shipping within seconds. We also provide personalized door-to-door shipping rates for midsize sedans, pickup trucks, vans, SUVs, and any other domestic vehicle you can think of. Pick the door-to-door shipping quote that works best for you and schedule online with ease. Alternatively, call (224) 218-2949 for immediate assistance.

    Enter your pickup and delivery locations, vehicle details, and shipping dates into our instant car shipping calculator. You’ll receive an accurate door-to-door auto transport quote with no hidden fees.

    Choose from open transport, enclosed transport, expedited shipping, inoperable vehicle transport, or multi-vehicle shipping. Our specialists can help you select the right option for your budget.

  2. 02 Schedule Your Door-to-Door Shipment

    Book online or by phone. Your Nexus representative will confirm your order and assign a trusted, fully insured carrier.

    Your driver will collect your vehicle as close as safely and legally possible to your address and deliver it directly to your destination. We’ll provide the driver’s details and an estimated pickup and delivery schedule. Weather, traffic, and road restrictions may affect timing, but we’ll keep you informed along the way.

    Before pickup, clean your vehicle, leave about a quarter tank of gas, remove personal belongings, and ensure someone is available to release it.

  3. 03 Complete Your Door-to-Door Delivery

    At pickup, the carrier will inspect your vehicle and record its condition on the Bill of Lading. At delivery, you’re welcome to inspect the vehicle again, compare it with the original report, sign the Bill of Lading, and complete any remaining payment according to your shipment terms.

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 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.

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.

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!!

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.

FAQ

Your Door-to-door Shipping
Questions, Answered

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.

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.

Our Car Shipping Calculator uses this data to deliver a precise, all-inclusive estimate with no hidden fees.

PAYMENTS MADE EASY

The Full Service Price can be paid with a credit card or directly to the driver with any certified funds.

Full Service Price can be paid with a credit card or directly to the driver with any certified funds. Cash is also accepted and some third-party carriers accept select electronic payment apps such as Zelle, Venmo, and CashApp. Contact your third-party carrier directly for more information.

Vehicle transport rates are assessed based on several factors, including:

  • Distance between pickup and delivery locations
  • Vehicle make, model, size, and weight
  • Vehicle condition (running or non-running)
  • Type of carrier: open or enclosed
  • Time of year (seasonal demand)
  • Optional add-ons such as enclosed transport

For a precise, up-to-the-minute quote, use our instant car shipping cost calculator.

For most standard shipments, we recommend 1–3 weeks’ advance notice of your first available pickup date. Nexus Auto Transport also offers premium expedited shipping for last-minute transport for an added fee. This places your vehicle(s) at the top of our priority queue for quick processing.

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.

An auto transport bill of lading documents your car’s condition at pickup and serves as an official shipping agreement between a client and a shipper.

Inspect your vehicle carefully before shipment and note any pre-existing damage. This damage needs to be included on the BoL for future insurance claims. All insurance claims and coverage are the primary responsibility of the independent owner/operators we assign.

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:

  • Remove all personal items (unless specified)
  • Lower fuel to ¼ tank fuel tank at ¼ full
  • Ensure operating condition (unless non-running option is booked)
  • Note pre-existing damage to write on the bill of lading
  • Clean inside and out for easier inspection

Pickup and delivery dates are estimated, not guaranteed, due to road conditions, traffic, or route changes.
