Jacksonville Auto Transport | Jacksonville Car Shipping

Once you book your shipment with AmeriFreight, we'll work with you to schedule a convenient pickup time in Jacksonville that fits your needs. Our experienced carrier will arrive prepared to handle your vehicle with care. Here's what you can expect during the pickup process:

Meet the Carrier:

A professional and courteous AmeriFreight partner carrier will arrive at your designated pickup location in Jacksonville.

Vehicle Inspection:

The carrier will conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle, noting its condition on a detailed report called a Bill of Lading. This includes mileage, any existing dents, scratches, or dings. Be sure to have the car unlocked and accessible for a smooth inspection process. While the carrier will likely take photos of your vehicle, we recommend taking your own set of photos at the time of pickup, showing all sides of the vehicle.

Paperwork Completion:

The carrier will walk you through the details of your vehicle’s inspection and have you sign the Bill of Lading once you’ve confirmed that it accurately reflects the current condition of your car.

Farewell and Final Touches: 

Once the inspection is complete and paperwork signed, the carrier will securely fasten your car onto the transport trailer. You'll have a chance to ask any last-minute questions before they carefully drive away with your vehicle.

We understand that peace of mind is important. That's why AmeriFreight's carrier network is vetted and insured, providing a safe and reliable experience from pickup to delivery.

The carrier will carefully review the document with you, highlighting any notations from the pre-shipment and final inspections. Once you're satisfied with the vehicle's condition, you'll sign the bill of lading, finalizing the transport process.
