My girlfriend asked me to help her look up shipping companies to ship her car since she got a job in Dallas. AmeriFreight has high ratings and they worked with the military and I used to be in the Navy, so thought I’d go with a trusted brand. I also looked around and their quote was the lowest one available. Then the final price was still lower than any other quotes I received.
Everything was through the phone and email with the transport organizer. She kept me up-to-date with everything, any forms that I had to fill out, the ones I sent, and she checked it right away and was able to tell me if there are any issues with them. I was able to get everything done in the timeframe I had. I needed the car shipped that same week that I looked for a quote, and they were able to find me a company that left on a Friday, so it was good. My girlfriend spoke with the carrier driver when they came and picked up the car, and she was also there in Dallas when she received the car. The whole experience has been quick and easy.

I had a damaged engine and I needed to ship it to my son, whose father-in-law was going to rebuild it. I looked on the internet, and AmeriFreight had a very good reputation. The organizer, a lady named Ali, was very helpful, professional, and personable and the quote was competitive. A Porsche repair place that I had used evaluated the car and they loaded it for me. My son and his father-in-law unloaded it and they said it was done very professionally. The service was very professional and I'd use AmeriFreight again.

I was moving and instead of driving the car from West Coast to East Coast with a huge parrot and a dog, it made more sense to ship it. I’m shipping my items with a moving company, so I might as well ship my Honda Element and then fly over, which is much easier for my age. AmeriFreight has good reviews online so I got a quote and the price was reasonable for the distance I was shipping it. I had a good estimate on how much it would cost to go cross country prior to shipping the car since I had it shipped to Monterey, California from where I bought it in Texas.
I told AmeriFreight’s organizer what I wanted and where I was going. He found a company that would take my car across within the quote he gave me and provided me with the company’s name and the date. The driver contacted me a couple of days before I was going to pick up the car to let me know that he’d be there on the date he had stated. Unfortunately, the driver who picked up the car had once picked up a vehicle at someone’s house in Pacific Grove and due to his other experience, he didn’t want to pick up the car in front of my house. Pacific Grove has streets that even my Element doesn’t like. They can be very narrow and nasty, little streets and he thought Monterrey was the same. My street’s really wide and if I go down the hill, I’m by the freeway. But I ended up meeting him in front of Home Depot. He was there on time, put the car and then offloaded it at my house.
The driver was so nice and very careful with my car. I watched him offload a couple of cars to get to mine. He was very meticulous in what he was doing and it was nice to see that. The car was delivered within the time frame and the driver communicated with me. If I had any questions, I always had his cell number available. It worked out well. AmeriFreight was very efficient and professional. From what was said to price and dates, what they offered and said is exactly what I got. They have good communication and follow through.

I called AmeriFreight two months in advance and they told me to call them again two weeks in advance. I have a small Honda Civic and they only got me one shipment offer in the time frame. They quoted me a price that was under my budget by $150 and that was fine, but when they found someone to deliver the car, they increased the price by 30%. Their excuse was I was given false information by their new staff member, but I had called and spoken to the manager before I’d gotten that price and he never mentioned anything about it when he reviewed my file. It was the worst customer service I ever had.
They tried to blame me that I should have known that when they give a price quote, it's just an estimate. Usually, when people quote something, they quote a little high, not a little low so that it doesn't become a problem. They quoted me $830 and then they were asking me to pay $1,140. My work paid for it, but I had to pay the difference. My budget was $1000 and AmeriFreight was aware of that. I cried on the phone before they decided they were going to help me. On the other hand, the transporting went great. The guy who picked it up was awesome and he and the guy who dropped it off were flexible, nice and called me in advance.

I had a 1966 Chevelle that had to go from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania to West Sacramento, California and I used AmeriFreight because of their price and closed container. It took me almost a month and a half to ship the car because I started out and got a quote and then had problems and had to do some things to the car. The person that was receiving it wasn't ready so we waited a while and then went back and updated it. And the container was changed from an open to a closed one. The organizer was responsive, gave me numbers right away and showed me how to accept all the stuff. The driver was great too and it took him 6 days to get my car to California. I would ship via them anytime I ship now. They get the job done as told in a timely fashion.

I'm out here in Oregon for a year to take care of my granddaughter, so I wanted to have my car here. My older son investigated and felt most comfortable with AmeriFreight, so we used them. I shipped my car from St. Pete, Florida out here to Eugene, Oregon. My son got a quote from them and he was satisfied and I was happy with it. He also got quotes from other companies and they were all over $2,000. So I thought AmeriFreight's price for taking my car cross-country was reasonable and very fair. My transport organizer, Allie, was extremely helpful with the process and always responded to me in anything that came up, so I was very pleased with her help. And when she wasn't available, somebody else got in touch with me.
When the car was picked up, I had to take my car down and meet the carrier driver a couple of blocks from my apartment because there were overhanging trees in the area where I lived in Florida, so he couldn't bring the transport vehicle right to my apartment, but that worked out fine and he was very good. My car was delivered out here a day later than I expected, but that didn't cause any big problem because I was at my son's house. They brought my car right to my son's house and it was delivered in excellent shape. It had some dust on it, but that's to be expected going across the country. Everybody was prompt and kept me up to date. I'm very pleased with the service. I would certainly use AmeriFreight again and I would recommend them.

I needed to get a vehicle transported that I bought at an auction. AmeriFreight helped me a lot down in Houston and I’m in Atlanta. I dealt with another one first. I honestly don’t remember the original website and I understand how the load boards work and I got calls, quotes and emails from several companies and the one that I chose said they could do it for a certain rate and they ended up not being able to do it. They didn’t have any booked and so I ended up leaving and pulling it from that company. I went back online and I went to a website specifically for vehicle movers and ratings and AmeriFreight was ranked one of the highest over several years and then in the most recent year. I compared and saw that they had a consistent track record. Plus, they were local here in Atlanta.
The quote was good. It was the same with the other company but they gave me a firm quote and guaranteed that it could be picked up before they gave me the final price and I liked that. The transport organizer was a young guy but he was very good. I was frustrated with the other company because they get you hooked and then they start creeping the price up. AmeriFreight and this guy did not do that. They simply said they will find a driver that will do this for the rate we’re looking at or trying for. Then they’ll call when they find one. And they did and were very helpful in answering questions.
The driver and I had a very brief but professional interaction on the day of the delivery. They were almost finished unloading it by the time I saw them, and they were gone. I paid them and shook hands. They were polite and everything went great. It took less than 24 hours from pick-up to drop-off. It was booked the day before, they picked up on Monday and then delivered on Tuesday, 20 hours later. I appreciate that they were very honest, upfront and didn’t try to get me locked in before they had everything firmed up. There was no runaround like I had with the first company. They did a great job and they were professional, friendly and easy to work with.

My dad retired as a professor for the state and we’re moving to Tennessee to be closer to some of the family that we have out there. We also decided to ship the V8 5.0 vehicle we have as it takes a lot of money and gas to drive it. And I don't trust a lot of the drivers on the road so I'd rather have the vehicle be safely strapped to a trailer. I looked at a lot of the websites, reviews and overall ratings and found that AmeriFreight was the highest recommended company. Also, I got a few quotes from four different companies and AmeriFreight was $15 more than a different company but I liked their rep's attitude more than I liked the other company.
Their transport organizer was also very nice. He and the company AmeriFreight used to transport the vehicle were very easy to deal with. They gave us updates when we called them. It only took a few days for them to pick the vehicle up, and four days for them to deliver it. However, they were a little late picking it up but they were on time delivering. And the whole process wasn't that long at all and the car got transported faster than I thought. If I ever find a project car within a certain area, I'll use AmeriFreight again to take it out.

My mother-in-law had given me a pick-up truck and I needed to move it from Colorado to California. The original quote that I got from AmeriFreight was around $799, so I went with them thinking I would get that price. However, the actual rate I paid was over $100 more than that. I definitely felt like I had the wool slightly pulled over my eyes, which was unfortunate. Their rep said that the quote they give online was the barest minimum they can offer, but it would often take a really long time to find some carrier that's absolutely needing to fill one last spot on the truck and would accept the original quote. Other than that, he was professional and he got back to me in a reasonable amount of time.
The actual process from pick up to delivery was a day earlier than what they originally said and the carrier driver was very business-like. My truck was the first one off the truck and he still had a bunch of stuff to get to in a day, but he wasn't discourteous and he got it off his carrier very quickly without damaging anything. Then he got the paperwork for me to sign. I signed it, he took payment and we were done. He was a gregarious person, but he was professional.

My mom passed away and she gave a car to me. I live in Colorado while she lived in Massachusetts and it has been a year before we could get the title. It wasn’t working and I needed to get it shipped out. AmeriFreight got me in with a low price and I was really excited about the quote. Then they said they weren’t getting any offers because it was a low price and that my car wasn’t working. But it was already known in the quote that the car wouldn't start.
AmeriFreight called me and said they have an offer and that I should take it because the guy would get many offers later. The price went up significantly and it was $400 or $500 more than what they quoted me. I wasn’t happy about that and it didn’t work out for me. I could have gone with anyone and I would have had the same price for what may be even plus. Still, my car got out to where I am and the transport organizer and the carrier were really nice. The process took 5-6 days. I had no schedule so it was fine with me and it worked out fine. But one thing that was funny and they never addressed it was the woman who my friend gave the car to him, and gave him a tip and he accepted it. It was a cash tip and that was weird because I paid so much money so why was he accepting more cash? Even so, the whole experience has been satisfactory.

I moved from Atlanta to Seattle for work and it made sense to choose AmeriFreight because they had a bunch of reviews and a lot of credibility. I was very happy with the free quote considering the short notice. The transport organizer was very helpful the entire way through. He did what I asked and explained anything I had questions about. At the end, it got tight time-wise. He offered me a solution and upped the bid a bit and it worked out. The car was here earlier than I thought it would be. He was just helpful the entire way through. When the carrier driver pulled up, I was surprised that the guy was nice and friendly and he took great care of the car. The whole process took 12 days to finish and I’m very happy with it. The constant emails for reviews are a bit much but otherwise, it was great.

AmeriFreight has a good reputation and when I got a free quote, it seemed reasonable. The actual pricing also ended up being fairly similar to what was quoted. The organizer was Graham and he did a great job. The transport took three days which was quick. However, the carrier drivers damaged one of my vehicles and we have yet to get that resolved. I called AmeriFreight's customer service and they've put me in touch with an insurance company that's attempting to settle the claim. Overall, my experience with AmeriFreight had been very positive.

I moved cross-country and AmeriFreight came highly recommended. But it turns out they screw their customers into doing reviews for them, so those reviews aren't entirely accurate. They suck. The free quote was absolutely incorrect and inaccurate. I was quoted $1,300 and it ended up costing us $2,700 to ship my car. The entire process took about two months. The first person I had talked to was really rude so I asked to be transferred to another person. She quoted me the same $1,300 and told me that my car would be picked up by a certain date and that it would be okay but I hadn't heard from them the next few days.
I talked to them again and they said, "Okay, well, to get specific shipping dates, you have to pay a little bit more, like $1,500." And I agreed because I have to have it shipped. We're leaving my old place and moving across country so it has to be done. Then they came back and said they have a vendor who is willing to ship it for me but they want $2,000 so I have to pay another $500 on top of it. I'm in a pickle because they have me under contract, that once you get a quote and they find a shipper, you have to ship with them. I couldn't back out of it.
The car gets here a day before it was supposed to so luckily, we arrived at our destination a day early. Otherwise, my car would be sitting in a yard somewhere not being able to be picked up. Upon arrival, they wanted another extra $300 for COD and we don't have a bank out here. Our bank is on the East Coast and we had to do all these hoops and jumps. And they don't take a credit card payment. It was terrible. Everything about that company is horrible.

I got a job in Seattle and I needed to ship the car there. The other transport companies that I talked with weren't sure much about it, but AmeriFreight was more affirmative that they will be able to find the transporter within a time frame, and they could transport it for me in between three days. I also requested the free quote and I felt it was a reasonable price. But, it went up between $100 and $150, though they gave me the reason why the price increased. They were also easy to get a hold. The driver also provided me information on when he'll be coming. While he was on transport, I also messaged him if the delivery date still holds true. The process took about nine days from beginning to end. Everything was okay and their service was good.

I sent a car to my son, from Florida to Arizona, through AmeriFreight. My son helped find the company. I called them and their deal sounded good so I chose them.

We were sending the vehicle to our son who's in the military. I had done some basic Google searches and read reviews of AmeriFreight and their reviews tend to be a little more positive than a lot of few of the other service providers. I got their free quote and it was on a par with another quote that I got so it was very competitive. I printed out a filler to another company but it took them four days to get back to me with an email response and I found that unacceptable. A big thing that we look for is responsiveness to queries. So, Jorge from AmeriFreight was my handler. He got back to me straight away and was responsive both in email and in phone calls.
On the other hand, I was a little bit taken aback because I didn't immediately understand that AmeriFreight is a broker. That they're dealing exclusively with subcontractors because when they did identify who the actual carrier company was, I went and looked up the carrier company. And the reviews for the carrier company were less than stellar. But when I contacted AmeriFreight back, he assured me effectively that the freight carrier themselves had undergone management changes and they were much more solid than the year old reviews had indicated.
He swayed some of my concerns and then when I got a chance to meet the actual carrier, they seemed good to go. I was happy to see that the carrier I met was the single driver that was going to take the vehicle from pickup to meet to deliver to my son and that there weren't any intermediate shippers. The carrier driver did a good job of staying in touch via cell phone as he was making his way. We met briefly at a local shopping mall because I knew that that would be easier for him to maneuver his transport carrier. He had everything he needed and all the paperwork was in order. We did a quick walk-around of the vehicle and as soon as we completed the walk-around, he gave me my copy of our documentation and he bid me adieu.
The delivery window they gave us was something in the neighborhood of seven to ten days since we were going out to California. The vehicle was delivered to my son on time, right within the window, and there were no delays. They had my son's contact information to make arrangements for the pickup. There were no issues with the vehicle and no hidden fees or request for anything. The whole experience went well.

My son was finishing up college. He had my car in Florida and he needed to get it shipped back out to California. I went through a few companies and did not feel real good about any of it. I finally talked to a friend of mine that has transported vehicles in the past and he recommended AmeriFreight to me. I thought that the industry as a whole was really bizarre. I’m very much a plan-it, know-what-you’re-gonna-pay-and-be-ready-to-go but I understood they put the move up on the board and folks had to bid on the pick-up and the delivery. It’s difficult to lock down a price, and in the end, the price went up a little bit. It was also very difficult to schedule as I can’t control the driver and the demand so it ended up being last minute. I was in Florida and it was the last day before we leave. I was getting ready to have to drive back then they got a hold of me and said that they found a driver so it worked out.
The transport organizer did a good job at keeping me informed and explaining the process as I was new to it. Then my son met the carrier driver in Florida for about five minutes during pick-up. He did a good job once he started getting closer and kept me posted. He ended up showing up a couple of hours early and unfortunately, I had to make him wait a little while. He walked around the car, I handed him his money, signed the document, and off he went. The total process took six days. My expectation fell in the window. It would be very difficult if I was moving my whole family and need to know those dates exactly but otherwise, I think they did a very good job with explaining all that. It might not have been what I wanted to hear but they explained it. AmeriFreight was perfectly adequate.

We got a job across the country and needed to be there in a few weeks. We looked at the reviews online and AmeriFreight had the best ratings and that's what won us over. So, we called them and the pricing ended up being better than anyone else. From step one, Allie, the transport organizer, was very friendly and helpful in getting all of our locations and timing, as far as when we're going and when we would need to pick the vehicle up. She checked back with us several times before, during and after the process to make sure everything is going smoothly.
She also gave us an estimate prior to contacting the third party that was going to be doing the move. It was $850 which was almost $2,000 below anyone else. She explained that it would go up just depending on who their driver was going to be. The driver usually asks for a certain range of price after that. But even with that price, it beat everybody else. The interaction we had with the carrier was perfect, as well. His English was a little rough but he was very friendly. I was in contact with him every day just to get an ETA of when and where should we meet him. We were also in contact once he got to town to find a good location for his truck and delivery of the car.

I received a job offer and I needed to get across country to California from Wichita, Kansas very quickly. I did a comparison shopping because I was looking at cost, but I went with Amerifreight because we had used them to ship a car to my daughter when I had first moved to Wichita and our experience was really good. I wanted someone reliable that I know could really handle the job. From that point on, I contacted AmeriFreight and explained to their employee, Jorge, what my situation was. Jorge had given me the initial estimate, but he said that it normally doesn't happen so quickly and that it's going to be within a time frame. But they got the carrier company here fast and picked up on May 2nd, and I got my car on May 4th which is perfect timing for what I needed.
They would probably be the only vendor that I would go with at this point. Their customer service was so on point and very helpful in terms of the quote. There were other people who had better rates but sometimes it's about the customer service and about the fact that I wanted to be sure my car gets here. Jorge was very responsive, ensured that I was informed, and gave really great follow-ups. Also, the third party who picked up my vehicle gave great customer service as well.

I live in Japan and my husband and I are returning back to United States. We purchased a car from somebody who lives in the Chicago area and had it shipped to Virginia where my mother is because we're going to be living there. AmeriFreight was more expensive but had good reviews and so we used them. It was about a $100 more than what they quoted me.
They were originally smooth, and their hours were better than most companies. There's a 13-hour difference in Japan and US and they were open till 7:00 at night which was helpful. They sent me a quote and gave me a military discount. They took $30 bucks off and upfront said it will be $600. Then I called about a month and a half before our actual move hopefully thinking that would give them some time to find a transport company to move the vehicle. It wasn't until the day of the move, I gave them a window and at the beginning of that window, I started hearing anything from them.
I tried to tell the transport guy many times to keep in mind that I'm not going to get his call at 2:00 AM. So, if I do not sit by my phone, it doesn't really ring and I have to see it. I was in Hiroshima and received seven calls in the middle of the night. I happened to notice the guy's call on the way to the airport and I called him back. He told me that he has a company that wanted to move my vehicle for $900 which was $300 more than what he told me he can move it for. I said, "Absolutely not." AmeriFreight was already $100 more than others but I told him I went with them because of the good reviews. Then he asked me what highest I would go, and I told him 700.
Then when I was sleeping again, he was drastically trying to call at 3:00 in the morning to tell me that company had agreed and they were going to move it for $700. By the time I got the call and called back, they had already picked up the car before I could say yes. I wasn't happy that they didn't even contact me. He took my yes as I don't want to go any higher than $700. To me, a yes is they’d call back and get a hold of me then pick up the vehicle. So, all that was a little frustrating and I didn't even get to send my mother the money. She had to pay for it out-of-pocket so I had to wire her the money. That's why I made the arrangements early so nothing would have to be last second.
As soon as I got back from Hiroshima, I called my mother and she said that AmeriFreight already dropped the car off there. The van must have been right there and they just wanted to take the car right then. And then, my mom moved it from Chicago to Virginia in a day and a half. It was fast right there, but what if my mom didn't have that amount. They would really put her in a bad situation.
I believe that once I said $700, the guy called my mom back and said that I'll do it for that amount. I almost felt like it was a gimmick because $900 was so high. I moved a car across the country several years from California to Georgia and it was only $700 and it was an oversized vehicle. I think I overpaid to have my vehicle moved significantly. My mom wasn't upset about it and the van made it there safely. I'm thankful for AmeriFreight that they were willing to work this out with me living in Japan. Bottom line, I still got my car so that's really what matters.
They're a reputable company and I always felt safe that they will take care of my car. They were always professional and polite when I speak to them. They were very upfront about their policies and procedures and I felt like they were not going to steal my money from me or if I gave them my credit card. I think they could just have a little bit of training about working with people in different time zones and across the world and provide good service to be a worldwide company.
I have about 50 friends who are moving back to the United States who need vehicles moved to different parts of the country. They're going to have more people calling them from overseas and what matters to me is that I want somebody who has good ratings and reviews, and that's who I'm going to go with because I live so far away

I was relocating to the West Coast. I called a couple of transport companies and looked at where they have results. Then I started researching good reviews of car transport companies and AmeriFreight came up numerous times. They shipped within the military and a lot of military people used them so they're good and then I trusted them. Their quote was a little bit lower than other companies and they don't use a carrier.
It was a learning experience for me because I had never transported a car like this. I never knew that 99.9% of the people use a brokerage company and it goes out in national board and they look at who's going to where and who wants to take the car at that price. I thought everyone would be in the same price range but some people wouldn't pick it up because it wasn't high enough that could do the transporting.
The transport organizer, Ali, walked me through step-by-step and she said that the closer I get to the move date, I may have to increase the price. So, she suggested that we put them out earlier than the move date which turned out to be good for us because we got so many to transport them. Ali kept me apprised of every step along the way prior to picking the car up and explained everything in great detail.
The guy picked it up on a Saturday and delivered it that following Friday. He was very pleasant and nice because I was still in Georgia and my mom and niece met him. He was really good 'cause neither one of them could drive a four-speed because it's a classic car so he drove it back. The whole thing was very smooth and the car arrived safely. It was good communication all the way through, easy and efficient transaction.

The first person I talked to was super helpful and then I ended up working with somebody else. Also, their transport organizer, Travis, was super professional. I tell him one thing one-time and it will be done. I don't have to keep calling him. Their carrier driver was great too. I had to coordinate with him as my friend was picking up my car because AmeriFrieght could not take it all the way to the town I was in.
And then, the payment got messed up because I opened up a new bank account and they wouldn't clear my check. Still, it all worked out. They charged a lot but they told me ahead of time and they ran my credit card at the last minute so that's super helpful. Overall, my experience with AmeriFreight was great. They are not cheap by any means but they get the job done with no hassle.

I purchased a vehicle and I needed it shipped. I chose AmeriFreight primarily because of the ratings they had online. The quote was inexpensive and cost-effective. I had received quotes to have the vehicle driven and those were almost double the price that AmeriFreight offered. But their quote originally was not sufficient for the pickup so I raised it on my choice since I wanted the shipping in a quick amount of time. Also, the location in which I was picking up and delivering to are not traditional routes.
I contacted the rep through email and spoke with him several times on the phone. AmeriFreight gave me the contact number of the owner of the carrier company once the job was expected. I was glad I contacted the owner because I was originally told the car would be delivered on Thursday and it was actually supposed to be delivered on Tuesday just because he could pick it up and drop it off more quickly. I don’t know if there was a communication breakdown between them.
The owner was awesome and contacted his driver to verify and call me back. The driver called me at 9:00 am and told me he was going to deliver at 5:00. He contacted me when he was leaving, an hour and a half away, and he was willing to meet me wherever I needed to meet with him and take delivery. The experience was simple and easy. I had not shipped a vehicle before but it was definitely worth the time of having them handle and ship it. I was satisfied.

I was moving so I needed to ship my car from Orange County, California all the way to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I've used AmeriFreight before. Three years ago I shipped the same car from Cleveland, Ohio to Orange County, California and I like their service. The quote was also very reasonable. It was actually about $100 cheaper than three years ago. It's almost the same distance and I was imagining part of the price would go up a little bit. So I was surprised. I think I got a very good price. Plus, they gave me $50 back because I'm a return customer.
I talked to George back and forth by email and by phone. He was very courteous and he always reached out to me. So, I'm very satisfied. Then the driver actually arrived earlier but he called me and said he couldn't wait for me. I told him he should have told me he'll be there at ten o'clock and not just call me at nine o'clock and say he only has ten minutes. That's very inconvenient. From the time I contacted AmeriFreight, the process took about one month. But I got the car within a week and that's pretty fast. Their service had been professional and I really like AmeriFreight.

I was relocating from one coast to the other coast. I went to AmeriFreight’s website and I saw that they ship different types of vehicles across the country. I was new to this and I assumed AmeriFreight must be a good company. Since I was also busy at that time and I had to get my car shipped at a certain time period, I did not check on other companies anymore and trusted AmeriFreight.
They gave me a lower quote but I ended up paying higher. They told me upfront about it but I didn’t realize it was much higher. The head person who organized the shipping schedule was great. He’s very professional and good to work with. He communicated everything to me very well, kept me up to date, and followed through afterwards. Also, the driver was professional and on time. He was very fast and he delivered the car in 4 days. I thought it was going to take him more than that. AmeriFreight offers good service. They care about their customers as well. However, given the higher price, I'd probably not choose them in the future. I would also not recommend them if money was a problem.

AmeriFreight gave me the lowest quote for shipping my cars. However, after talking to the organizer a few times concerning the details, the price ended up being much more than what was initially quoted. They explained that the quote is what they put it out for if they don’t get anyone to respond. And that these are the bids that people came back with so it’s up to the customer to either accept or reject it. They can’t guarantee that that’s gonna be the amount.
I don’t mind. I went on and did it and then they picked up as scheduled. The carrier driver met us at a parking lot, loaded the cars, no issues. But I think they delivered in two or three days instead of the seven to 10 that I was quoted so I had scramble to arrange for somebody to meet them on the other end to receive the cars. He pretty much picked up and delivered straight there. Had I known that, I would have had a later pick-up date. Also, it would just be great to have more clarity of pricing at the front end. I selected them for being the lowest bidder. I ended up paying as much or more than what the other folks quoted. That will be a little more disclaimer on that.

She couldn't find the other carriers for me, so I accepted the original offer.
The carrier called and gave us a two or three-day window. They changed the time frame a couple of times, but the delivery was within the dates. During the transport, they contacted us through text which wasn't too bad, but a lot of random texts came in. We got texts from two or three different numbers throughout the course.

I went from California to Florida for graduate school and my dad took care of everything with regards to shipping the car. There was another company that he tried to use and wasn’t really honest about the process. He ended up losing a deposit and had to pick somewhere else. Then he found AmeriFreight and the ratings were really high. My dad thought he’d give them a shot and everything was so amazing. The people were very upfront about how everything worked, getting the car out, and what the realistic cost is. So when I took care of shipping the car back to California I chose them again.
I first made the call to AmeriFreight to get a bid then I got the car locked into a deal two days later so it was really fast to get the bid picked up. The transport organizer, George, was really easy to get a hold of. There was some confusion with when the contractor was coming and didn’t contact him or us to say that they were coming a day later. We called George and he said he’d take care of it. Pretty much immediately after we hung up, the contractor called. So, their personnel was really awesome and on top of everything. Then it took about five days on the trip before it was delivered to my dad. It was a very quick and easy process.

AmeriFreight is a quick talking shipping broker that uses subpar shippers. I had four vans in Florida that I purchased that I needed to bring out to Georgia. AmeriFreight was locally based, then I find out that they were just a broker. I hate auto brokers, but unfortunately, I got stuck with yet another one. The quote they gave me was fair until they jacked the price up about $300 a vehicle when it came time to actually get the vehicles shipped. I know how the shipping industry works. Usually, you start out at certain amount and kind of pad it a little bit as you go to see if you can get a traction on it. But about seven days into it, they went from a certain price to another certain price.
I also wasn't really pleased with AmeriFreight in general because the first driver that showed up to take my stuff up refused to pick it up because AmeriFreight didn't share the details of the shipment with their company. Then, in the process of that, he dropped one of my vehicles off the trailer, damaging it which I received zero compensation for, other than more time loss and more money for repairs. Though their reps were easy to get a hold of and they conducted themselves fine, we had some stressful conversation back and forth. But the actual carrier that brought the vehicles to me was great.

I bought an out-of-state used vehicle and I needed to move it across the country. I read good reviews on AmeriFreight, and went with them. Instead of using their free quote option, I worked with an agent and who got a shipping company for us. However, the quote we got it wasn’t accurate, and ended up way less than the cost. I said wanted service quickly, and that I was willing to pay a little more but in the end, it took just as long. While my transport organizer was utterly lovely to talk to and very nice, I didn’t often feel like I got great advice. He was really hard to get a hold of and would call me back at a time that is not great. I would ask something because I don’t know anything about this and he would advise in terms of waiting or upping the price, and said “Oh, I don’t know. You can do either.”
I've also had two interactions with the carrier driver. One, to check and make sure we had each other’s phone numbers and then one, to set a pick-up. The only thing I didn’t expect but totally made sense was that, because our vehicle was on such a massive truck, they couldn’t actually come into our neighborhood. I ended up having to drive 30 minutes out of town to a jammed parking lot where they could pull the truck in. They had said it was door to door, but that wasn’t actually accurate. I it took about a week from when we first called them until we got the car. It was coming from New York to California so I can imagine driving it any faster than that.
Once AmeriFreight had said they had secured a driver, there was a week between then and when they could actually pick-up, but we weren’t told that. They were like, “Oh we can pick-up as soon as the car is ready.” The car was ready on a Monday but I don’t think they picked up until Friday. The poor people who sold us the car called every day. No one could tell us when the car would actually get picked up until about an hour beforehand. We got the call, it was like, “Oh we’re picking your car now.” Luckily they showed up when the dealership was open to pick the car up, which was kind of mysterious.
I just kept calling back and forth between AmeriFreight and the car dealer being doesn't know what's going to happen. That was a pain. Everyone would communicate with me but no one would communicate with each other, between AmeriFreight and the shipper and the car dealership. I was sort of left trying to wrangle information out of somebody. I spent a lot of time on the phone on hold with AmeriFreight trying to get through to somebody.

Being someone who has really paid and then having paid for extra insurance, I really wanted to check whether it was previously existing or it was made during transport. That’s the part that really put me off because when I paid for the service, there’s no problem if I look once again. He sort of thought that I’m trying to find a fault in him whereas, I was trying to see whether something happened to my vehicle or not.

We’re relocating cross-country. AmeriFreight's quote was a little high but I was in a time crunch. The rep I spoke to was fantastic and they got back to be in a reasonable time. They were also very willing to try to get me a better deal and they took care of everything so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The driver was super nice, very friendly and very approachable. I made a mistake on the delivery address so I called him right back immediately and he was very understanding and wasn’t rude at all. They called me so I know that the vehicle is arriving early and that I needed to meet them somewhere else. The vehicle was shipped with no problem. I’d recommend AmeriFreight.

I was getting out of the Navy and moving. Because I was going to Iowa, we also received three bids that were high. I had many offers so fast, but I used AmeriFreight’s free quote option and I got a quote that was lowball. Their transport organizer did a good job. He was fast, which was surprising. We got two quotes the same day and got another the next day. I also received a good offer from a cover carrier, which I missed out on because I was still getting out of the Navy and I couldn’t be at the pick-up point soon enough. The driver was a professional, nice guy too. We had a weird situation at pick up and drop off. At pick up, the driver was on the side of the road of a busy, almost highway area. He handled it with no problems. And then drop off was in a new construction where the address wouldn’t work because he just Googled it. But he worked with me well.

I’m relocated to a different state and I didn’t do any look around because I needed my vehicle shipped out that day. The time’s more important than price. I called different vendors but AmeriFreight is the only one who could provide the date I want. Their employee set the transaction for me and the service was good. He told me what I should look for when my car is picked up and dropped off. What I could do was to take pictures to check certain things. Then the driver gave me the call and delivered the vehicle on time. It took a week, and the vehicle is in good condition.
AmeriFreight doesn’t own own the shipping company on the West Coast. So they charged me $300 and the actual shipping company charged me $1000. They're like an agent and they charge us some amount like commission fee. Then they transfer it to a different company that is actually shipping my car from Washington state to Georgia. Maybe next time they will ship it through the a different subcontractor, but in my case, the company did a good job overall. It was smooth. The dealer is pretty good too, but if I know that company I would directly contact them because it will save me a couple of dollars.

My communication with Ally was great and she always picked up the phone. Sometimes when I called and she was on the phone, she always called me right back. She was very responsive and professional. Then the delivery was good as well. The driver called and was a little bit concerned about going into a residential area with his truck. So, I met him at a supermarket nearby which worked out great for us. The only thing was that there was a delay with the truck. I never got a call or an email about where they were. We were curious and so we called and the carrier said that the truck was stuck back east due to a hydraulic problem. Other than that, it was all worth it.

I purchased a car and needed it shipped from Florida to Chicago. The salesman from AmeriFreight told me that he could get my car shipped for a certain price but he would have to look around for it. His price is also lower than the other ones that I had checked. I made several phone calls before he found the driver or the shipping company. It took a couple days longer for him to find them.
I had to meet the driver several blocks away because he was concerned about the little hanging branches but that was not a problem. He used a 2-tier closed truck and he didn't have the ramp all the way down. When he was backing the car off the truck, he didn't have the ramp down all the way at the angle and it ripped off the exhaust of my vehicle. AmeriFreight knocked a few dollars off but it cost me a whole lot more than that. Overall, it was a new experience for me but it wasn't bad.

We relocated out of California to Indiana. So, we flew out from California and left the car there until we can save up enough money to get it shipped. We used AmeriFreight as my uncle had used them before, and the quote they gave me was good. It was $800 and I ended up paying about $850, but it's better than the other places who were trying to charge me about $1100.
Though the driver didn't really seem to know much English, my interactions with him were pretty cool. He called to tell me he was about an hour away from the delivery. He couldn't drive the rig in here so he parked a block away from my house. I came down from work waiting for him and expecting to hear a call saying, "Hey, come over here to come pick up your car because I can't fit in there." But then I see the car pull up in the driveway. He drove the car from the field over to my house which was really good. I read the reviews on them before I even chose to go with them. And I read this thing on the internet saying don't always necessarily go with the lower price because you get what you pay for. You could end up getting your car and having it in worse condition than when you left it. But AmeriFreight was great. They even gave me a discount because we were a returning customer.

I relocated out of state so I needed to get the car there. The rep from AmeriFreight that I talked to was very forthcoming with how they worked and what to expect. For me, it was important that they set some expectations of what I was about to experience as I'd never gone through that before. Ultimately, it was his honesty that made me choose AmeriFreight. The competition is ruthless. As soon as the car went on the board to look for a transporter, all their competitors did was call and rip on their service. They made it feel uncertain that the low quote would piss off the truckers and that we should go with them if we really wanted it shipped. So I called my guy and he made me feel at ease about it.
He stayed in contact with me and was super helpful. However, we did not ship it at the original quoted price, though he had broken down the process for me and set some expectations that the price may change based on statistics. That was huge for me because any clientele would appreciate that type of transparency. The car came from my parents and my father is 81 years old and the driver was super nice and thoughtful to him. He couldn't get the truck up near our house so my father took the truck down there and the driver drove him back which he really appreciated. Then when he showed up, it was a day late. He had some truck issues but he called to let me know that and was super nice when he got there.
I contacted Amerifreight because they were highly rated on the reviews and I just went down to the top three and my experience with the other two would be I would never use them. Everyone was really nice on the initial call but as soon as I called and went with Amerifreight and that vehicle went on the board, they were rude which just solidified that I made the right choice.

After I told him that wasn't going to happen, he eventually agreed to come close to where we live but he parked a mile away and so we walked to go meet him at his truck. We found out when he called that he got tired of waiting, so he drove the vehicle over to our house where I paid to have it delivered. I had to walk another mile back to get my girlfriend's car.

Apart from that, the organizer was very good and my interaction with the carrier driver was fair but the communication between the driver and us was not that good. The local number to call is his wife and she was very unprofessional.

At that time, I just had to have the car transported but I would have been much more satisfied if they had told me that was the price on the first day.
The delivery was very satisfactory and the carrier was right on time. They called ahead of time and they dropped the car off to me in New York city right on the day and time.

Part of my car is damaged but it wasn't a major one. The side mirror on the passenger side is somewhat broken and the outside is completely shattered. Either the car wasn't secured or when the driver got it out, it got hit by something. The driver was not what I would expect but it was okay and he probably tried his best.

I also tried to send emails to the rep from AmeriFreight. The email address is AmeriFreight but in the email, the guy was saying he is representing AFta. I sent him an email telling the situation and I never got a response. My claim is still pending and I'm gonna call them after this week if I don't hear back from them.

I had a vehicle that I needed shipped across the country and AmeriFreight quoted the lowest rate though it went up by a few hundred dollars. I went with the company because it was convenient. The transport organizer called me, set everything up and stayed in touch every step of the way. My interactions with the carrier driver were excellent as well. We had the request out for four days, then someone picked it up and the car was delivered in two days. So, that was very fast.

AmeriFreight was one of the companies that came up when I did a Google search for a transport service. After a quick check on Better Business Bureau, it seemed like AmeriFreight was not a scam so I went with them. They handled everything well. Everything was good and their rep was great. They came to pick up the car and it got delivered to Seattle a little bit after I was expecting it to, but it was only a couple of days. They couldn’t get the truck wherever I was, so they had to put it onto a smaller truck but that was the only thing that was out of the ordinary and it ended up being fine.

Requested a quote from AmeriFreight's website with all the necessary information provided about my vehicle and departure date. First, the email response stated that if a representative does not contact you within six hours, to call or respond to the email. I didn't hear from anyone and sent a follow up email only to discover the email address came back as undeliverable. Second, the next morning I received a quote from Graham for $985. I call because the email states that if I respond within 48 hours, I am eligible for a discount. You can imagine my surprise when I learned that the actual cost for shipping my vehicle was $1300, and not the $985 quoted in the original email. In my opinion, that is not the way to do business - bad form and unprofessional. I did not use AmeriFreight and will not despite all the glowing reviews posted here.

The car was at my father-in-law’s house and we were shipping it from South Mississippi to Washington State, the new location I am going to. I’m in the military. Amerifreight was recommended by two of my friends and I also did not want to put out a bid on the internet. I wanted an agent to deal with it. I was not happy at all with how things transpired with AmeriFreight. I was given a quote by Alicia, the first agent I dealt with. I didn’t hear from them for three or four weeks. Finally I called them. I was handled by two different gentlemen. The original quote was $950. What I ended up paying was around $1,600, but at that point I needed the car and I had to get it shipped. I wouldn’t have an issue if they told me from the beginning that’s how much it was going to cost. They were not very transparent about the whole process. I was ripped off but because of my work I didn’t have time to deal with it.
Ben, the transport organizer was fine and ended up helping me. Once I re-engaged, started calling them, it took them a week-and-a-half to find somebody to move the car despite the fact that I originally called them a month out. He found the person but after that, he didn’t do anything. I’m the one who talked to the driver and arranged everything. Originally they wanted my father-in-law to meet them at 3:00 in the morning with the car. That’s not going to happen, so they agreed to meet him at 7 a.m. and then they delivered it right to the house, so that was perfect. But AmeriFreight advertises that they’re going to do door-to-door but it wasn’t worth the headache to deal with the driver. I was misled on that. The whole situation was annoying. I wouldn’t recommend AmeriFreight to anyone. They rush you and try to get you to buy insurance packages which were a complete waste of money. Fortunately I turned down most of them.

It ended up costing me more than my initial proposed quote but my agent was very upfront about that. She was very professional and when she had information, she got in touch. AmeriFreight told me that it will cost a little bit more because of some of the more rural delivery specifics. And they had to get somebody to hoist it the last little bit on a one-car loader. I had a few other companies who’d given me a set price of $1,295 and I ended up paying $1,350 with AmeriFreight. But everything on the transport went smoothly. It was delivered when anticipated, and the car was in about the same condition as when it left.

My son was moving back to his home state so the car needed to be shipped from California to Florida.

We could tell the difference 'cause we had a different company last year and it was a nightmare. But the person at AmeriFreight was very professional and didn't make things up. He was true to the facts what he had told me and was very assuring.
At first, he had another carrier company to assign our case to, but they didn't come through with the insurance information. They didn't have coverage, so the rep called me immediately and told me we couldn't go with that carrier and that they'll find us a reputable person. That was really great and it was perfect with the carrier we got. I was a little wary of that because I know the main company contracts out to carriers to pick up the actual car. But they were comfortable and were always available too. There were two people that we communicated with, the actual driver and his supervisor that drove the actual car back to Florida, and they were both exceptional. They were a local California company but I would use them again if I ever have to ship a car again.
However, they wanted to be there earlier than the time that we had originally set. We were really stressed out being under the circumstance of having to be there for that certain amount of time. We had a tricky situation and we had only a two-day time frame that we were able to coordinate our flight out to be there for the car to be picked up.

Then there was one carrier who did offer to come down to Laredo, but it was $500 over the asking price because of the location that I was in. So I told him that it was way too much and so I had to move the pick-up destination to a larger city. Then AmeriFreight called me back within 30 minutes telling me that they got a carrier for me. They really worked out with me and helped me out with everything. However, because of the bad weather that week, instead of it being delivered on a Friday afternoon, I ended up picking it up on Saturday morning when he got into town. But still, the delivery went well.

We had to move from New York to Texas and my car was a lease. We didn’t want to drive it and put all the miles on it so we got AmeriFreight to ship it for us. However, they quoted me around $800 and by the time someone was going to ship it, it ended up being $1,300. I was surprised by the price jump. They said that the person who was shipping it wanted the $800 for himself. And then, they had their own fees that they needed on top of that. Nevertheless, the car got there on-time when they said it would.

I’m not able to drive across the country so I had my car shipped by AmeriFreight from Seattle to Colorado. My experience with them was very positive. I felt very reassured during the phone call. Everybody also showed up on time and were very courteous. The driver was very patient and everything was done professionally. However, I could’ve gotten a little more warning ahead of time when they delivered the car. I wasn’t expecting it when it came. Nevertheless, I’d recommend AmeriFreight.

I was in the military and was told to go to one place. I went straight to that location and didn't have a way to get my car there so I needed to find somebody to ship it for me. I couldn't drive it myself because I couldn't leave the base. I looked online and found a lot of positive reviews on AmeriFreight. I decided to call them based on those reviews because they sounded trustworthy. The process was surprisingly simple and the rep I worked with made everything really easy. Then the driver called me the day before he arrived and gave me an approximate day and time for the delivery. It was perfect timing and I never was guessing on when my car would arrive. Also, the driver was a great person to talk to. Everything was satisfying.

I had a not-so-good experience with another broker that's supposed to be for the same service as AmeriFreight. I tried to look at the reviews and it seemed like AmeriFreight is one of those that have better reviews. The negatives weren't so much, but unfortunately that negative is what I also experienced. I initially contacted them and they gave me a quote. When they did, I made it clear that this was what I wanted and needed. They told me the price that would be within the time frame of seven days, so I agreed to that and I booked. I did it on a Friday and then after I did that I tried to call my rep. I couldn't get a hold of him so I sent an email. I couldn't get anything from him, so over the weekend, I did not get any update and I wasn't sure what was going on.
Come Monday, I tried calling AmeriFreight again and sent emails, and I wasn't getting any response. Before the end of the day, I called their customer service and tried to talk to somebody else. I was advised that the person who was handling my account wasn't there and would get back to me. The day passed and no one got back to me. Next day, again there's no feedback. I even sent an email where I said, "Let me know if you don't want to provide a service so that I can find another service provider". Eventually, on Wednesday I placed a call and before the end of the day the rep called and said, "We needed your credit card number to start the booking." So I gave it to them and after I did, that's the only time that they said they're gonna put me up on the board. That means the initial quote they said within seven days started on that Wednesday, not when I made my confirmation.
I was asking for feedback and there was nothing. Eventually before that seventh day they gave me a quote, which was $400 more than what they quoted. I just wanted to get it done so I said go ahead and ship it. The trucker and I had better communication than AmeriFreight. I called the trucker and gave them all the instructions, and the trucker even delivered one day ahead of the original schedule. Overall I was hoping that this would be a good experience but it didn't work out that way.

I was moving and had to ship my vehicle. My fiancee looked on Google and saw the reviews on transport companies. Everything went fine with AmeriFreight. The carrier driver was okay and he made sure everything was good and ready to go. Their staff checked up on me a lot. They made sure that they picked up the car and that the car was going to be there. They did a good job.

We were given a truck by a family member and needed to have it shipped from Arkansas to Washington state. AmeriFreight was really helpful. They kept me informed of what was going on, and they’re pretty smooth. The actual transportation of the vehicle took a week. Overall, it was professional, courteous, quick and easy experience.
