Tennessee Car Shipping Services
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is the most widely used and cost-effective method for shipping a vehicle. Your
car rides on an open multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles. It's what dealerships use to
move new cars to their lots, and it's safe and reliable for the vast majority of vehicles shipped inTennessee. Most Nashville and Memphis routes have excellent carrier coverage with open
transport.
Enclosed Auto Transport
For luxury vehicles, classic cars, sports cars, or anything with a high value that you'd rather not
expose to road conditions, enclosed transport provides a fully covered trailer. Whether you're
shipping a collector car from the Franklin area or a high-end SUV from Nashville's Green Hills
neighborhood, enclosed gives you complete peace of mind.
Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We arrange pickup and delivery at your address in most Tennessee locations. Nashville,
Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, and their surrounding areas are all
accessible for door-to-door service. For downtown Nashville and certain high-density areas, we
coordinate a convenient nearby pickup point before the driver arrives.
Expedited Car Shipping
When timing is tight — a Nashville job transfer with a hard start date, an auction purchase with a
pickup deadline, or a last-minute relocation — our expedited option moves pickup to within 24 to
48 hours.
Snowbird and Seasonal Transport
While Tennessee winters are milder than the Midwest, many Tennessee residents still prefer to
spend a few months in Florida or the Gulf Coast. We ship vehicles south in the fall and back
north in the spring for seasonal residents regularly.
Classic and Collector Car Shipping
Tennessee's automotive culture runs deep, from vintage truck enthusiasts in rural areas to high-
end collector cars in Nashville's wealthier suburbs. We ship classic and collector vehicles using
enclosed transport and experienced carriers who understand what careful handling means.
Dealer and Fleet Transport
We work with Tennessee dealerships, rental companies, and fleet operators to move inventory
reliably and on schedule. If you're a dealer in Nashville or Memphis buying at auction or
shipping sold units out of state, we can build a logistics plan that fits your pace.
Motorcycle Shipping
We ship motorcycles to and from Tennessee using enclosed crating or soft-tie systems. All
types and makes are welcome, from touring bikes to sport bikes to vintage machines.

Tennessee Car Shipping Transit Times

Shipping a Car To or From Nashville
Nashville is Tennessee's largest and fastest-growing auto transport market. I-40, I-65, and I-24
all converge in or near the city, connecting it to Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Charlotte, and the
Gulf Coast. Carrier traffic through Nashville is strong year-round, and the city's growth means
that demand for vehicle shipping continues to increase.
The Nashville metro includes Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, and Spring
Hill — all fully accessible for door-to-door pickup. Downtown Nashville and the Gulch area can
present some logistical challenges for large carriers, but we always identify a workable pickup
location and communicate it clearly before the driver arrives.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Shipping from Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Other TN Cities
Memphis sits at the intersection of I-40 and I-55, making it one of the best-positioned cities in
the mid-South for auto transport. Routes to Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and New Orleans all run
through or near Memphis, which keeps carrier availability strong. Memphis is also a major
logistics hub in its own right, so carriers in the area are well-experienced with loading and
delivery scheduling.
Knoxville is positioned on I-40 near the North Carolina border and has solid coverage for routes
heading east and west. Chattanooga, on I-24 and I-75, bridges Tennessee and Georgia and is
well-served for Southeast routes. Clarksville, Jackson, Johnson City, and other Tennessee
cities can all be serviced — pickup windows in smaller cities may run a day or two longer than
the major metros.

Preparing Your Car for Shipping in Tennessee
• Wash the exterior so any existing scratches or dings are clearly visible before the
inspection
• Take photos of all four sides before the driver arrives
• Remove all personal belongings from the interior and trunk
• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel in the vehicle
• Disable any toll transponders or parking passes to avoid unwanted charges
• Make sure the car starts and drives — let us know in advance if it doesn’t
• Fold side mirrors and retract any external antennas
• Note all pre-existing damage on the Bill of Lading at the time of pickup

Who Ships Cars to and from Tennessee?
College Students
Vanderbilt University, University of Tennessee, Belmont University, Tennessee Tech, and
Middle Tennessee State all attract out-of-state students. Shipping a car to Knoxville or Nashville
is far better than a long drive at the start of the semester.
Military Families at Fort Campbell
Fort Campbell, straddling the Tennessee-Kentucky border near Clarksville, is one of the largest
military installations in the country. PCS moves into and out of Fort Campbell happen at a pace
unlike almost any other base. We work with military families on tight timelines and ship to every
installation in the US.
People Relocating to Nashville
Nashville has been one of the top relocation destinations in the US for several years running.
Healthcare companies, tech startups, and lifestyle-driven movers from the Northeast and
California are arriving constantly. Shipping the car is usually the first practical logistics question
they have to answer.
Retirees and Lifestyle Movers
Tennessee's relatively low cost of living, no state income tax, and mild climate attract retirees
from the Northeast and Midwest. Many ship their vehicle when they make the move to
Nashville, Chattanooga, or the lake communities in between.
Dealers and Auto Auction Buyers
Tennessee has an active dealer and remarketing market. We work with dealers throughout the
state for inventory moves and auction pickups, with reliable scheduling and direct
communication throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

for cross-country moves. Pricing depends on your route, vehicle type, and transport method.
Call (832) 886-1321 for your quote.
How long does car shipping take to or from Tennessee?
Atlanta and Charlotte are typically one day. Chicago takes 1–2 days. Miami takes 3–4 days. Los
Angeles from Memphis is usually 5–6 days. We give you a window at booking and keep you
updated.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. All carriers in our network carry cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA. Photograph
your vehicle before pickup to document its condition.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
Yes — you or a designated contact must sign the Bill of Lading at both ends of the shipment.
Can you ship a non-running vehicle from Tennessee?
Yes, but please let us know upfront. Inoperable vehicles require special loading equipment and
may cost more.
Do you handle Fort Campbell PCS moves?
Yes. Fort Campbell is one of our most active military PCS locations. We understand military
timelines and ship to and from every base in the country.
What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open is standard and affordable. Enclosed uses a covered trailer — ideal for luxury, classic, or
high-value vehicles. We offer both for Tennessee shipments.
Can I leave items in the car during shipping?
Carriers are not liable for personal belongings and many won't accept vehicles with items inside.
Remove everything before shipping.
How far in advance should I book?
One to two weeks is ideal. Expedited service is available for shorter notice. Nashville's rapid
growth can tighten availability in the fall relocation season, so booking ahead helps.
What happens if my car arrives damaged?
Note any damage on the delivery paperwork immediately. The carrier's insurance covers
transport-related damage. NexGen helps guide you through the claims process.
Do you service smaller Tennessee cities like Jackson or Johnson City?
Yes. We cover the full state. Smaller cities may have pickup windows a day or two longer than
Nashville or Memphis.
Can Tennessee dealerships use NexGen for regular shipments?
Yes. We work with Tennessee dealers regularly and can set up account pricing for volume
moves. Contact us to discuss your logistics needs.
What's the cheapest way to ship a car from Tennessee?
Open transport with flexible pickup dates. Tennessee's central Southeast location makes it one
of the more cost-effective states to ship from in this region.
Is NexGen licensed to ship in Tennessee?
Yes. We are FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB
Accredited with an A+ rating.
