Frequently Asked Questions about the Nexus Dealer Portal

What is the Nexus Dealer Portal?

The Nexus Dealer Portal offers car dealerships a comprehensive platform to connect with private car sellers and manage vehicle shipping all in one place. The NDP staff brings decades of combined experience in the automotive and transportation sectors to the table. We utilize that knowledge to qualify sellers, ensuring you don't waste time. We also use our expertise to vet drivers based on security, safety, experience, customer service records, and equipment quality.

The Portal allows you to find sellers on your terms and make informed purchasing decisions based on accurate, current market information. When you're ready to ship, our dedicated transport coordinators will help you find a driver, set up your pickup and delivery parameters, and efficiently execute transportation from Point A to Point B. You can even scout recent car shipping quotes within 5, 10, or 100 miles of your preferred pickup location. This allows you to better budget for shipping and identify the best times to save money. Our talented staff of coordinators, support specialists, and dispatchers are here around the clock to manage your shipment from start to finish.

What car shipping methods does the Nexus Dealer Portal offer?

We tailor our vehicle transport services to suit your needs on an order-by-order basis. Choose from standard open transport (with discounts for cash transactions), premium enclosed transport, and expedited auto shipping.

Standard open car shipping is perfect for most passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs. It is the most convenient and cost-effective method to ship a vehicle in the United States. We recommend standard open transport to dealers moving single or multi-car loads, whether it's across a shorter distance or from coast to coast. Dealerships are eligible for cash-on-delivery and multi-vehicle distances. Please speak with one of our agents for more details.

Enclosed vehicle transportation provides invaluable protection from the elements, road hazards, and sight. It is the perfect choice for luxury cars, classic cars, antiques, and other vehicles valued at $60,000 or more. If your dealership specializes in high-value vehicles, it pays to invest in enclosed car shipping services.

If you cannot schedule your shipping order at least a week in advance, we can connect you with a driver in your area for expedited car transportation. Your order will be a top priority, and we'll match you with a trucking partner as soon as possible.

Nexus also works closely with independent trucking partners to meet unique shipping demands, including inoperable car shipping, motorcycle shipping, equipment transport, and more.
