Delivery in Central: Welcoming Your Car to its New Home

The excitement builds as your car nears its destination in Central. Here's what you can expect during the final leg of its journey:

Delivery Scheduling:

Once your car arrives in the Central area, the carrier will contact you to arrange a convenient delivery time. This flexibility ensures you're present to receive your vehicle.

A Meticulous Final Inspection:

Upon arrival, the carrier will conduct a final inspection of your car together with you. They'll meticulously compare the condition to the initial inspection report completed during pickup. This ensures any potential discrepancies are documented.

    Signing the Bill of Lading:

    The bill of lading is an important document that serves as a receipt for your car's condition upon 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.

    Welcome to Central!

With the paperwork complete, it's time to take possession of your car! The carrier will assist you in unloading your vehicle from the transport trailer. AmeriFreight wants to ensure a smooth transition, so feel free to ask any questions you may have about the car's condition or the transport process.

We understand that even minor details can be important. That's why AmeriFreight's experienced carriers prioritize clear communication and a meticulous approach throughout the delivery process. This ensures your car arrives in Central exactly as it left, ready for your next adventure.

Cost Factors for Central Car Shipping

A few key factors impact the overall cost of shipping your vehicle. Understanding these factors helps you make an informed choice that aligns with your budget.

Distance: The Route Matters

The distance your vehicle needs to travel from Point A to Point B is one of the main factors impacting your car shipping rate. Cross-country moves, for instance, will cost more than a quick trip to a neighboring state, owing to the time and fuel required to transport your vehicle to its destination.

Vehicle Weight and Size:

Different car sizes affect the cost of shipping. Lighter, more compact vehicles occupy less space, typically resulting in a lower price. Conversely, larger vehicles, such as trucks or SUVs, can increase your rate due to their size and weight.

Open or Enclosed Black Logo

Open or Enclosed:

The majority of cars shipped across America are on open carriers. As an affordable choice, open carriers provide a variety of equipment to meet any shipping needs. If you are concerned about weather, visibility, or other factors, enclosed may be your option because it may protect your vehicle from nearly all outside factors. Enclosed shipment is an excellent choice for transporting luxury, exotic, and classic vehicles.
