BBB accredited auto transport reviews. Most and best reviews on Google

Reviews and accreditation's for car shipping companies are the most important considerations for consumers. Do some research with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Google and check reviews from previous customers. A reliable and dependable auto transport company should at least be accredited with the BBB and have a high rating (A or higher). The BBB is a great independent business reliability evaluation board for auto transporters. Most auto transport reviews sites receive some type of compensation for their services from companies. This means that reviewed companies sometimes pay for their rankings. Shipping your vehicle should be with a car shipping company you can trust.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car?

The right quote is not always completely predictable. The cost ranges from around $495 to $1,300 on average to ship a sedan in running condition on an open carrier. Factors that may affect the cost includes, but are not limited to the distance, vehicle’s condition (operable/non-operable), size and how soon you want it shipped.

Car shipping cost - State to State Auto Transport Companies

Vehicle shipments to California (CA), Florida (FL), New York (NY) and Texas (TX) are the most busy routes. Other states like Georgia (GA), Virginia (VA), Washington (WA), Massachusetts (MA), Ohio (OH), South Carolina (SC), North Carolina (NC), and Arizona (AZ) are also popular. The remaining states are less in demand and therefore have less carriers supporting those routes. Use our Rate Calculator to get an estimate on how much it will cost to ship your car.

Auto transport Carrier or Broker?

To ship a car without a broker is a calculated risk. The Auto Transport industry is regulated by using brokers to ensure that customers are not exploited by questionable Car Shipping Carriers. Auto Transport Brokers have been given the task to help and educate consumers to ensure that their carriers are licensed with the DOT and insured. Without a broker, consumers may run the risk of using an unreliable, uninsured and illegal carrier, which more often than not may leave one with a damaged vehicle and no form of recourse.

Car Shipping Insurance - Gap coverage

It is true for all car shipping companies, including AmeriFreight, that your car will be 100% covered by a carrier’s insurance while it is loaded onto a truck. Unfortunately, what most brokers will not tell you is that often times there are exclusions with insurance. In some instances, a carrier’s insurance may fail to pay for damages to your vehicle, leaving you in a situation where you must revert to your own personal vehicle insurance. Consider auto transport companies that offer gap protection through the AFta PLAN. No car shipment should be without it and every car shipper should reconsider any company that do not offer gap protection for shipping vehicles.

Our Review Policy:

AmeriFreight is a leader in the auto transportation industry and to get there we listened to our customers by the feedback we received from their reviews. Reviews play an extremely important part in helping us to improve our customer service and inform consumers on customer responses to our services. We understand that it takes time and effort to do a review and many customers by nature do not generally leave reviews unless they have really had a bad experience with a company. But we also want to know and let others know if our customers had a positive experience. For that reason we often use incentives to prompt our customers to leave us reviews to compensate for their time and effort. To make sure customers do not feel any way obliged to leave only good reviews, we explicitly stress in all our communications to our customers that we compensate for any review, good or bad.

For those who have read about a settlement between AmeriFreight and the Federal Trade Commission, this is our response: In essence the requirement from the FTC is that if reviews are paid for it should be disclosed and that undisclosed endorsements should not be advertised as being unbiased. AmeriFreight could not provide sufficient evidence to prove that consumers or prospective customers were informed about our review incentives that offered compensation for leaving reviews, no matter if they were good or bad. As of October 8, 2014, to be in compliance with FTC requirements, we have posted our policy on reviews on our website for general information to the consumer. We have never before intentionally tried to hide or misrepresent the fact that we compensated for reviews. With this message we will now provide evidence to the fact that there may be a material connection between AmeriFreight and customers who have posted online reviews. We have compensated for reviews in the past and may from time to time again be compensating or offer incentives to our customers for good or bad reviews. Should there be any questions or concerns about our review policy, please feel free to contact us.
