Lecia Phillips, my agent, was amazing. Among auto shipment companies with good reputations, AmeriFreight gave me the lowest initial estimate, and the final price remained less than all those other companies' estimates. The shipment went incredibly smoothly (my car was shipped from Florida to Maine in August, so this was no guarantee), and communication with both Lecia and the driver were consistently up-front, patient, and helpful. I'd recommend AmeriFreight to anybody. Show more

To start off this review, I am a return customer, having used this service on a move from Massachusetts to California two years ago. This time around, I contacted AmeriFreight on short notice to transport my vehicle from Southern California to Florida. Literally the same day that I contacted AmeriFreight, however, they had already secured an accepting service to transport my vehicle to FL. Ali made sure to secure a driver that would be willing to hold on to my car until I arrived in Florida eleven days after the pick up date. My car was delivered to me at my new apartment complex on the expected date. And in the same shape as I had left it.My fiance will be moving from Maine to Florida in September, and I have already strongly suggested to him to use AmeriFreight, rather than drive the car down himself.

Order #13916390: I recently used Amerifreight Car Shipping to transport my vehicle from New Mexico to Maine, and I couldn't be happier with the service. My car arrived safely and on time, and the entire experience was seamless.My agent, Benjamin, was truly exceptional. He guided me through the entire process, answered all my questions, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Benjamin's responsiveness was a standout feature, as he promptly addressed any concerns and kept me informed every step of the way.One of the most impressive aspects of Amerifreight was the affordability of their service. Despite the long distance, the cost was reasonable, and there were no hidden fees or surprises. The transparency in pricing was greatly appreciated and contributed to the overall positive experience.I highly recommend Amerifreight Car Shipping to anyone in need of reliable and cost-effective transportation for their vehicles. My sincere thanks to Benjamin and the entire Amerifreight team for their outstanding service. I will undoubtedly choose them again for any future car shipping needs. Show more

Follow me on YouTube for coverage and building this 2004 Terminator Cobra, channel name: Lethal Venom. My overall experience with Amerifright was positive but did come with a few snags beyond their control. From the start I was told that the price quote would most likely be higher at the time of shipping due to the lack of carriers available and it was causing some price increases. This proved to be true but I was expecting it from the start. The unfortunate snag I encountered was that right at the time when my car could have been picked up was at the same exact time that tropical storm was coming up the east coast. My car was being shipped from Florida to Maine and this storm came into Florida and up the entire east coast. This caused an unfortunate delay in shipping. When the storm had passed I contacted Amerifright to ask about shipping because it had now been a week since the car was able to be picked up. Two days later a carrier was found and it shipped a few days later.I dealt with different people through all of this. My main contact was Brian but there were others that I also was in contact with while Brian was out for a short time. I cant speak enough of how professional everyone I encountered at Amerifright was. They all seemed to genuinely care and were very helpful and professional through the whole process. Show more

First it is not easy to get transport in Maine and I do not have to tell you what the winter is like! I also had a job that made it difficult for me to be available for drivers to accommodate my schedule. But Harry at Amerifreight worked with me, and I was not easy to work with as I had to turn away drivers that were in the area because I could not manage the day off when they were. But he found one and he got the driver to come close to my home and on a day I was off! No small job for where I live. The drivers name was Pavel, he was wonderful, freindly and honest. We liked him so much that we bought him dinner lol. We felt good about leaving my sons car with him. Pavel even sent me a text later thanking us and wish us well. Communication between Harry and Pavel was outstanding. My son received the car all the way to CA, In good condition. Pavel was great meeting my son and he said “Pavel was a great guy, really nice.” I highly recommend Ameri-Freight.Just be open to different estimates as the driver/ transport people are all different depending who is in your area and they dictate what price they will take to take your car. We did not find this unreasonable as a transport from Maine to CA is a very long stretch and the money was well spent on such a good service. My son is happily zipping around CA now. Thanks Ameri-Freight and Pavel. Job well done! Show more

Friendly, Efficient and Thorough!We had a seamless exchange with Amerifreight.From consult to pick up and delivery, the service was impeccable. We transported a vehicle from California to Maine without incident. Our driver, Yuri checked in with us regularly during the duration of his trip. I am a real person giving an honest review. I honestly do not see where any improvement would be needed! I found the price quote to be fair and clear. There were no hidden expenses. My hat is off to the company and the transporters with which they contract. They hold them to a high standard of excellence, which was definitely the case in our experience. Thank you. Would definitely use again if needed! Show more

The State of Maine

Maine is a beautiful state known for its rocky coastline, maritime history, natural beauty, and parks like the Acadia National Park. The state is also famous for its beautiful lighthouses, such as the candy-striped beacon at West Quoddy Head, and delicious fresh seafood.

Culture and Art

Maine is one of the most desirable places for artists, and the state has been home to artist colonies for nearly two centuries. Art masterpieces like "beautiful place by the sea" have attracted artists of all stripes, whose works are celebrated in the finest American museums.

Maine's museums are countless, and a lot of them are dedicated to the history and culture of Maine's Native people, the Wabanaki. You can explore and immerse yourself in their world and history in the Abbe Museum. The center has two locations, one in Bar Harbor and the other in Acadia National Park.

Historic venues such as Cumston Hall, founded in 1900, are known for their legendary Theater at Monmouth. The theatre produces year-round, and art and music seekers adore spending evenings at the shows. In the city of Rockland, you can visit the Strand Theater and see an enormous and aw-inducing example of Egyptian Revival Architecture built in the year 1923. Different musicals, films, and theatrical productions are hosted there due to their beautiful look and design from the era.

Family Fun

The "Pine Tree State" is famous for its beautiful sightseeing landmarks and iconic lighthouses. There are more than 60 historic lighthouses along the coast, and can be explored on a boat tour or by traveling by land in a car. Make sure to visit at least one before you leave the state!

You can also plan a sightseeing tour of the forests and try to catch a glimpse of the wildlife in the area. In Maine, the forests are home to moose and black bears. If you are more interested in marine life, hop on a boat and look out for whales below and puffins above. Scenic Byways offer a pleasant view as well. Don't miss Maine's unique scenic roads like the Acadia All-American Highway, the Old Canada Road Scenic Byway, or the Schoodic National Scenic Byway.

Another top activity to do when visiting Maine is enjoying its numerous waterways and coastlines. More than 3,000 miles of shoreline can be found in Maine, where water sports and activities, such as kayaking, windjamming, paddle boarding, and nature cruising, are at the top of the list of things to do. Picnic areas are also found near many of the lake beaches, and plenty of lake recreation like canoeing, kayaking, or riding motorboats takes place.

Food and Drink

Maine's Lobster is definitely a state specialty. Although it's one of the world's most iconic seafood, Maine's should be at the top of the list. Mainers have had centuries of practice preparing such an exquisite plate in different presentations, like a classic lobster roll in a top restaurant's interpretation. There is a wide variety of lobster restaurants around Maine, from classic lobster to the finest artistic plate. All are delicious and have Maine's original lobster taste, which is wholly unique.

Top Tourist Attractions

Acadia National Park is home to lakes, streams, and woods. It offers a playground for residents and guests that like being outside. The ideal way to explore the park by driving is to take the picturesque Park Loop Road, which winds its way around the principal sights.

  • The Old Port and Portland Head Lighthouse

Portland, the biggest city in Maine, receives a lot of visitors who always go directly to the Old Port. Portland is still a bustling port, complete with fishing boats, busy docks, and seafood restaurants. The brick and stone structures that sustained one of the busiest ports on the East Coast from colonial times through the 19th-century line the winding alleys that rise from Commercial Street, which is located dockside.

A lovely route to see the rocky shoreline and ocean along the paved walking path that runs down the coastline from Ogunquit's long sandy beach to Perkins Cove. Small sandy coves that provide a more private beach experience than Ogunquit Beach, one of the busiest beaches in Maine, may be found among the rocky cliffs. From April to October, the trail is approximately a mile and a half to the picturesque Perkins Cove wharves and is open to pedestrians (no bikes, no pets).

Mid-Coast Maine's Pemaquid Point is home to one of Maine's most recognizable lighthouses, which is so well-known that it was selected as the design for the state's quarter currency. It was constructed in 1835, and the brick sound signal house, keeper's cottage, and light tower have all been maintained.

AmeriFreight Auto Transport State Market Insight

Why Maine Is a Strategically Located Regional Car Shipping Market

What This Means for Your Car Shipment

Maine’s population of more than 1.3 million residents and over 615,000 households creates steady but regionally focused vehicle relocation demand across northern New England. Much of this activity centers around Portland, the state’s largest metro area, along with regional cities such as Bangor and Lewiston. These communities support consistent relocation tied to healthcare, tourism, and university activity, contributing to regular demand for Maine car shipping.

Several major transportation corridors help connect Maine with the broader Northeast vehicle transport network. Interstate 95 runs north to south across the state and serves as the primary highway linking Maine with New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and the rest of the East Coast. Interstate 295 provides an alternate route through the Portland area, while Interstate 395 connects Bangor with eastern parts of the state. A common shipment route moves vehicles between Portland and Boston along the I-95 corridor, one of the most frequently used transport routes connecting Maine with larger Northeast markets.

Seasonal tourism and university relocations contribute to vehicle movement throughout the year. Because many communities in Maine are rural or located along the coast, carriers may coordinate pickup locations near interstate corridors or nearby cities to maintain efficient routing.

Winter snow and coastal weather conditions can occasionally influence vehicle transport scheduling during colder months.

AmeriFreight Auto Transport works with vetted, fully insured, and FMCSA-registered carriers who regularly service Maine routes year-round, helping provide dependable scheduling.

Demand typically increases during peak summer relocation season and year-end moves, which can influence timing and pricing.

If you are planning Maine car shipping, understanding these regional transport corridors helps set realistic expectations.
