Every Kettering shipment can include the optional AFTA Plan, which helps provide additional gap protection beyond the carrier's cargo coverage. The AFTA Plan is not insurance, and any qualifying claim must be reported within 48 hours after your vehicle is delivered. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will explain how the plan works during your estimate so you can decide whether it's right for your shipment.
Kettering customers receive estimates based on current market conditions, available carriers, the vehicle being shipped, and the requested route. Since market rates can change with seasonality, fuel costs, and carrier availability, your estimate may change before a carrier is selected. AmeriFreight Auto Transport never dispatches your vehicle until you review and agree to the carrier's offer.
When shipping a vehicle from Kettering, the process begins with an estimate and a search for a qualified carrier that matches your schedule and route. Once a carrier is secured, your agent presents the complete shipping offer, including pickup timing and pricing, for your review. You don't make a payment until you choose to accept that carrier and move forward with the shipment.
Plans can change, especially during relocations, military moves, or unexpected life events affecting a Kettering shipment. If your order has not yet been dispatched, you may cancel without charge. Once dispatch has occurred, applicable cancellation terms may apply, and your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will explain those conditions before booking.
For more than two decades, AmeriFreight Auto Transport has helped customers move vehicles across the country using experienced, FMCSA-compliant carriers. Thousands of verified customer reviews reflect our long-standing commitment to dependable service rather than the short-term approach often seen with newly established brokers. Kettering drivers benefit from that experience whether shipping locally, regionally, or nationwide.
Every carrier transporting your Kettering vehicle must operate with active FMCSA authority and meet applicable federal operating requirements before joining our carrier network. Participating carriers are also required to maintain cargo coverage in accordance with federal regulations. This helps ensure your shipment is handled by transportation professionals that meet industry standards.
