Manhattan has become one of Will County's fastest-growing communities, attracting families looking for more space, professionals commuting throughout Chicagoland, and homeowners relocating from nearby suburbs such as New Lenox, Frankfort, Mokena, and Joliet. Residents also ship vehicles when purchasing cars from dealerships across the Midwest, sending student vehicles to colleges, relocating for employment, or moving to warmer climates during retirement. Whether you're moving across the region or across the country, residents of Illinois can rely on nationwide car shipping services that connect Manhattan with destinations throughout the United States.
Although Manhattan is smaller than many neighboring communities, its location near major transportation corridors throughout Will County makes it convenient for carriers traveling across northern Illinois. Continued residential development has increased demand for vehicle transportation as more people move into the area while maintaining access to Chicago and surrounding employment centers. AmeriFreight Auto Transport helps Manhattan residents ship sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, motorcycles, classic cars, and luxury vehicles with dependable service backed by an extensive nationwide carrier network.
The most common vehicle shipping routes from Manhattan head south toward Manhattan, Houston, Nashville, and Orlando, east toward Columbus and Pittsburgh, west toward Denver and Phoenix, and all the way to Los Angeles and Seattle. Open auto transport for these routes typically ranges from about $700-$1,300 depending on distance, seasonality, carrier availability, and vehicle type, while enclosed transport generally costs more because it provides additional protection for high-value and specialty vehicles.
Estimate ranges are provided for general planning purposes. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will provide a current estimate based on your specific vehicle, dates, and destination.
Whether you're shipping out of Manhattan or moving a vehicle into the area, we've got the service to match your needs.
Manhattan benefits from its proximity to Interstate 80, Interstate 55, Interstate 57, and U.S. Route 45, giving carriers efficient access throughout Will County and the greater Chicagoland region. These major transportation corridors help improve carrier availability, support flexible pickup scheduling, and connect Manhattan with destinations across the Midwest and beyond. Easy access to these routes also makes state to state car shipping more efficient by linking the community to major interstate freight networks throughout the country.

Our standard service includes convenient door-to-door auto transport throughout Manhattan and neighboring communities whenever carrier access allows. Most residential neighborhoods, subdivisions, and rural properties can be serviced directly, although some narrow roads, newly developed subdivisions, or locations with truck restrictions may require meeting the carrier at a nearby shopping center, large parking lot, or other safe location arranged by your shipping agent. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport representative will coordinate the most convenient pickup and delivery option for your shipment.
While Manhattan itself is not located next to a major military installation, many military families in Will County relocate to and from nearby bases throughout Illinois and neighboring states. AmeriFreight Auto Transport supports PCS moves with dependable military auto transport services designed to simplify vehicle relocation for active-duty service members, veterans, and military families. Our carrier network helps make long-distance military relocations as smooth and convenient as possible.
Shipping your vehicle to or from Manhattan is straightforward when you have an experienced team coordinating the process. AmeriFreight Auto Transport works with a nationwide network of vetted carriers to help make every step simple from booking through delivery.
Start by requesting your free estimate and discussing your shipping needs with one of our agents. Whether your vehicle is being picked up from downtown Manhattan, a neighborhood near Manhattan Road, a subdivision west of Cedar Road, or a nearby community like New Lenox or Frankfort, we'll help schedule a pickup that fits your timeline.
Once your shipment is assigned to a carrier, door-to-door pickup is arranged whenever truck access is available. Thanks to Manhattan's convenient access to Interstate 80, Interstate 55, and nearby regional highways, carriers can efficiently serve the area, although large transport trucks may occasionally use a nearby meeting location if neighborhood streets or rural roads limit access.
Your vehicle is delivered as close to your requested destination as safely possible. Upon arrival, you'll inspect the vehicle with the carrier, confirm its condition, complete the delivery paperwork, and your Manhattan shipment will be complete.

Manhattan's location near Interstate 80, Interstate 55, and Interstate 57 gives carriers efficient access to major freight corridors throughout the Midwest, which often helps maintain strong carrier availability. Seasonal demand can increase during summer moving months, winter relocations to warmer states, and periods of heavy residential growth throughout Will County and the greater Chicagoland area, which may influence pricing and scheduling.

For Manhattan shipments, the optional AFTA Plan helps provide additional gap protection beyond the carrier's standard cargo coverage. It is not insurance and is available only under specific terms and conditions explained by your shipping agent. Any qualifying issue must be reported within 48 hours after delivery for eligibility under the plan.
Customers shipping vehicles to or from Manhattan receive straightforward estimates with no hidden fees added after booking. Because market conditions, fuel costs, carrier availability, and seasonal demand constantly change, pricing may fluctuate before dispatch. Your shipment is never dispatched until you review the carrier's offer and choose to move forward.
The process is simple for Manhattan customers. First, your agent prepares an estimate, then works to match your shipment with a qualified carrier before presenting the complete shipping offer. You review the details, decide whether to accept the carrier, and only then does payment move forward according to the booking process.
If your Manhattan shipment has not yet been dispatched, you may cancel without charge. Once a carrier has been assigned and dispatch has occurred, cancellation terms may apply. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will explain these terms before your shipment is booked.
For more than two decades, AmeriFreight Auto Transport has helped customers throughout Manhattan and across the country coordinate vehicle shipments with trusted carriers. Thousands of verified customer reviews reflect our long-standing commitment to dependable service. Our experience sets us apart from short-lived brokerage operations that frequently enter and leave the marketplace.

No. Customers shipping vehicles from Manhattan do not pay until a carrier has been selected for their shipment. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent first locates a qualified carrier, presents the complete shipping offer for your review, and you decide whether to proceed before payment is required.
The optional AFTA Plan offers additional gap protection beyond a carrier's standard cargo coverage for qualifying Manhattan shipments. It is not insurance, and your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will explain eligibility, coverage details, and terms during your estimate. Any qualifying issue must be reported within 48 hours after vehicle delivery.
The U.S. Department of Transportation generally does not permit personal household items to be transported inside vehicles during auto transport. If a carrier agrees to allow limited personal belongings, additional fees may apply and arrangements must be made before transport. Personal items are not covered under the carrier's cargo protection or the optional AFTA Plan.
