The Evolving Needs of Car Sellers-
It’s becoming increasingly common for drivers to buy cars online and, at times, purchase a vehicle without seeing it in person. While online car sales are convenient in helping sellers cast a wider net and provide buyers with greater options, this sales dynamic increases logistical complexity, underscoring the need for an effective all-in-one sell-and-ship service. Sellers must accurately evaluate their vehicle’s value, achieve a secure transaction, and partner with a reliable transporter, especially for out-of-state sales. There are online tools for tasks like accessing your car’s value, but fewer on-stop-shop solutions exist for the three primary stages of selling and shipping. Additionally, some may struggle to connect with ready buyers and trusted transport partners if they’re new to selling.
How Nexus ‘Sell & Ship’ Works
Let’s take a closer look at what’s behind Nexus’ sell-and-ship service.
Sellers begin by receiving a free valuation of their used vehicle consistent with its Kelley Blue Book value and other key market factors influencing its worth. Next, we connect your car with top U.S. auto dealerships competing for the purchase through high-value offers. Lastly, Nexus arranges pickup at your convenience to deliver the vehicle. Alternatively, a private market sale requires significantly more time spent on tasks like vetting potential buyers, dealing with low-value offers and unserious prospects, and shipping possibly reducing profits.

Nexus’ sell-and-ship service’s value-driven approach helps sellers capitalize on competition among buyers with an increased sale price, while efficient shipping keeps costs down. Transparency isn’t a given in the world of automotive shipping, but Nexus helps sellers outline transport costs before committing with tools like a shipping cost calculator.

How Quickly Can I Receive a Free Vehicle Valuation?
Sellers can instantly receive a free valuation of their used car. All you’ll need to provide to get started is your vehicle’s identification number (VIN) and its make and model. We’ll ask for some more information so you get the best possible value estimation, as our calculator considers factors like color, maintenance records, aftermarket accessories, ownership history, current condition, mileage, and more.

How Does Nexus Ensure the Safety of My Vehicle During Shipping?

Nexus is responsible for verifying vital car carrier credentials, such as insurance, safety records, licenses, USDOT credentials, and more. We achieve this verification using methods that include, but aren’t limited to, tech solutions, experience-level evaluations, accessing on-time performance data indicating reliability, and viewing CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) program scores.
What Vehicle Types Can Nexus Help Me Sell and Ship?
Nexus’ sell and ship service can facilitate transactions for all light vehicle types, including sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, convertibles, wagons, pickup trucks, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, passenger and small cargo vans, electric vehicles, exotic cars, luxury models, and classics.
Is My Vehicle Insured During Transport?
Nexus offers qualified guidance on understanding cargo and liability insurance and its limits while verifying carrier coverage. Carriers in the United States are federally required to provide liability insurance, protecting against damage the carrier causes to other vehicles or property during transit—not your own vehicle being shipped. Transporters aren’t federally required to have cargo insurance, which protects your car from damages or loss during transport, but most reputable companies offer it.
Cargo insurance coverage generally ranges between $100,000 and $150,000 for open carriers, which exposes your car to outside elements during transit. Cargo insurance for enclosed carriers is often between $250,000 and $300,000 since the vehicles are often of higher value given the service’s added cost. Coverage for cargo insurance is frequently divided among all cars on a carrier or trailer, which could leave your vehicle undervalued. It’s helpful to ask about a cargo insurance policy’s per-vehicle limit, as you might need supplemental insurance if a shipment is high value. Insurance requirements can also vary by state.
