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

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. We aim to offer transparent pricing, answer your questions, alleviate your concerns, and ensure the safe delivery of your car to its destination.
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:
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.
Seasonal Fluctuations: Timing is Key
Although you may hear that seasonal fluctuations may greatly affect your vehicle shipping cost, you'll be happy to know at AmeriFreight that isn't necessarily the case. Our strategies to save you money work year-round. For over twenty years we have built unique relationships with thousands of carriers in the industry. This ensures we have year-round capability to get your vehicle where it needs to go at the best price possible.
