Nevada Auto Transport Company
2 J's Auto Transport is the top-rated car shipping company in Nevada, offering the fastest and easiest way to ship your vehicle to or from Nevada.
Welcome to 2 J’s Auto Transport, a family-owned auto transport broker with 13+ years of experience moving vehicles in and out of Nevada. We specialize in open carrier shipping, enclosed auto transport, RV transportation, heavy hauling, and shipping of operable and inoperable vehicles across all 50 states. Nevada is really two distinct auto transport markets in one state: Las Vegas in the south, connected to Southern California via I-15 in one of the busiest car-carrier corridors in the West, and Reno in the north, serving Northern California via I-80.
From the first quote through final delivery, we handle every part of the process — dispatching carriers, coordinating pickup and drop-off, managing documentation, and providing direct support whenever you have a question. For Nevada shipments, that often means coordinating pickups at Las Vegas Strip hotels and casinos, planning around extreme summer desert heat that can exceed 110 degrees F, and managing the very different logistics of Reno and Tahoe shipments versus the Las Vegas metro. We have been doing this since 2012, and our experience with Nevada’s two distinct regional markets shows up in the details.
Nevada’s auto transport landscape is shaped by two distinct corridors serving two very different regions. In the south, I-15 connects Las Vegas to Southern California this is one of the busiest car-carrier routes in the entire Western U.S., driven by constant tourism, relocation, and the sheer volume of vehicles moving between LA and Vegas. I-11 and US-93 connect Las Vegas south to Arizona. In the north, I-80 runs east-west through Reno and Sparks, connecting to Sacramento and the rest of Northern California to the west and Salt Lake City to the east.
Nevada has no state income tax, which has made it a popular relocation destination for both individuals and businesses. Tesla’s Giga factory near Reno is one notable example that has driven significant population and vehicle-shipping growth in the north. Las Vegas remains the dominant market by volume, driven by tourism, the casino and hospitality industry, and constant inbound and outbound vehicle traffic tied to visitors buying, selling, or shipping cars.
At 2 J’s Auto Transport, we ship to and from Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and across Nevada including pickups directly from Strip hotels and casinos when access allows.
We’re a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019), bonded by the FMCSA and operating under USDOT regulations. Every carrier we dispatch in Nevada carries active cargo insurance verified before each job. We understand Nevada’s specific requirements: the state’s 30-day vehicle registration window for new residents, Nevada’s lack of a state income tax, the emissions testing requirement in Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno), and the practical reality that extreme summer heat can affect vehicle condition during open transport. Whether your vehicle is in Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, or a small town along US-95, we handle the logistics correctly.
Across more than a decade of Nevada auto transport work, we have coordinated thousands of vehicle shipments — Las Vegas visitors shipping vehicles home after buying a car, Reno tech workers relocating for Tesla Giga factory and other Northern Nevada employers, retirees taking advantage of Nevada’s no-income-tax status, and UNLV and University of Nevada Reno students moving home for the summer.
If you’re shipping your car for the first time in Nevada, here’s a complete guide on how to transport a car.

Nevada Shipping Considerations (Desert Heat and Two Different Markets)
Nevada’s auto transport considerations are less about severe weather (snow and ice are rare outside the mountains) and more about extreme heat and the state’s split geography.
Summer desert heat (June–September): Las Vegas and the southern desert regularly exceed 105–115°F during summer months. While this doesn’t typically delay shipments, it can affect tire pressure, battery performance, and interior components during open transport. We recommend morning pickup windows during peak summer heat when possible, and enclosed transport for any vehicle with sensitive electronics or interior materials that could be affected by extended heat exposure.
Winter mountain conditions (December–February): While the Las Vegas valley rarely sees snow, the Reno/Tahoe area and the mountain passes on I-80 can experience significant winter weather, including chain requirements and occasional closures. If you’re shipping to or from Northern Nevada in winter, build in extra buffer time.
Las Vegas Strip logistics: Large carriers cannot navigate directly onto the Strip itself. For hotel or casino pickups, we typically coordinate a nearby valet or loading area, or a short walk/short drive to a carrier-accessible location. We arrange this in advance so there are no surprises.
Reno vs Las Vegas carrier density: Las Vegas, as one of the highest-volume tourist and relocation destinations in the country, has significantly more carrier traffic than Reno. Reno-area pickups may take 1–2 extra days to schedule compared to the typical 1-day Las Vegas window.
Nevada Vehicle Regulations to Know Before Shipping
Nevada has specific vehicle regulations that affect timing and cost when shipping a car in or out of the state. We’re not lawyers, always confirm details with the Nevada DMV but here’s the practical overview.
Registration timeline: New Nevada residents have 30 days to register their vehicle after establishing residency.
No state income tax: While not directly related to vehicle shipping, Nevada’s lack of state income tax is a major driver of inbound relocation, many of our customers are shipping vehicles into Nevada specifically because of this.
Emissions testing: Required only in Clark County (Las Vegas metro) and Washoe County (Reno/Sparks metro) for most gasoline vehicles. The rest of the state does not require emissions testing.
Sales tax: Nevada charges a combined state and local sales tax on vehicle purchases ranging from approximately 6.85% to 8.375% depending on the county.
Plates during transport: You don’t need plates to ship a car. We can transport vehicles with no plates, expired plates, or out-of-state plates.
For full regulatory details, visit the Nevada DMV.

What our other platform clients are saying about us
Devon B
I recently used 2 J’s Auto Transport to transport my car across the country, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! From the very beginning, the team was professional and responsive, answering all my questions and providing a detailed quote with no hidden fees. The pickup was smooth, and they kept me updated throughout the entire process. My car arrived in perfect condition and even ahead of schedule! The driver was friendly and handled everything with care. I highly recommend Joyce and John for anyone looking for reliable and efficient auto transport services. They truly exceeded my expectations!

Mark Edwards
I buy and sell construction equipment all over the US and always go to 2 J’s for long distance transport. They are able to find excellent rates on partial loads within a day or two. The drivers they send are always very professional and helpful. I’ve received quotes from other dispatchers and sometimes drivers offer their services directly, but they can rarely offer compete with 2 J’s pricing or timely service.
Sidharth S
You guys were awesome. Picked up on time, dropped off on time as promised. I was returning customer. I had used their service a year and a half back. They were good at that time and this time too they were fantastic. I was fortunate to have got an enclosed truck for the price of open. Seems they had a truck passing on my dates and they gladly put me there. Thank you, John. Thank you, Joyce. I would highly recommend their services.
