Salem NH Auto Transport FAQ

We understand that you may have questions about shipping your vehicle in Salem, New Hampshire. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:

How long does it take to ship a car to or from Salem, NH?
The time it takes to ship a vehicle depends on several factors, including the distance between the pickup and delivery locations and the type of transport you select. On average, shipping to or from Salem can take between 3 to 7 days for domestic routes.

What is the cost of car shipping to or from Salem, NH?
The cost of shipping a car depends on several variables, including the distance, the type of vehicle, whether you choose open or enclosed transport, and the time of year. You can use our online quote calculator to get an accurate estimate.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes, all of AmeriFreight’s partner carriers are fully licensed and insured. In the unlikely event of any damage, we guide you through the claims process to ensure you're covered.

Do I need to be present for the vehicle pickup and delivery?
It’s recommended that you or a designated representative be present at both pickup and delivery. This ensures that you can inspect the vehicle and sign the necessary documents, including the Bill of Lading, which records the vehicle's condition.

Can I ship personal belongings in my car?
While some carriers allow a limited amount of personal items in the car (typically under 100 lbs), we advise against it due to liability issues. Always check with your AmeriFreight representative for specific guidelines.

What is the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open transport is the most common and affordable option, where vehicles are securely fastened on an open trailer. Enclosed transport provides extra protection by shielding the vehicle from weather and road debris, making it ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value cars.

How do I prepare my car for shipping?
Before shipping your car, clean it inside and out, remove any personal items, and take photos of its current condition. Ensure the gas tank is about ¼ full and that the vehicle is in working condition unless otherwise arranged.

What happens if my vehicle is damaged during shipping?
AmeriFreight works only with licensed and insured carriers. If your vehicle is damaged during transit, we will help you file a claim with the carrier’s insurance. The damage will be inspected against the Bill of Lading, which documents the condition of the vehicle before and after transport.
