Amerifreight is in the top 3 of auto haulers according to Google. I worked with Erica, and she was absolutely FANTASTIC! She got me a truck driver the same day I called, she set up a great price quote and she stayed in touch with me every step of the way. I hope her bosses give her a raise because she did an amazing job for us. Thank you Erica!! We had zero issues with the company, they told us exactly how much it was going to be and how long it would take to get our new vehicle home, and they were spot on! Our truck driver was Tim Newham from Newham Trucking LLC. Tim was very down to earth, no games, excellent driver. Tim kept in contact with us the whole way, and is very careful with the vehicles on the trailer. He obeyed all the laws and still got our vehicle from Ohio to Iowa in 48 hours. He called us when he picked it up and when he was about 30 minutes from drop off. Tim Newham and his guys are awesome drivers that will get the job done efficiently and effectively. Thank you Tim! Thank you to everyone involved for making our auto transport needs so easy. We definitely recommend others to use Amerifreight and Tim Newham for your transport needs, we are definitely using them again very soon!!! Show more

I got quotes from quite a few companies but the representatives were impersonable and the quotes were much higher than AmeriFreight. My husband and I both really enjoyed dealing with Harry and he made the process simple, clear, and very smooth. He did not pressure us to sign on with them and it felt more like dealing with a family member than a business. I would absolutely use them again. The car we had shipped was delivered in absolute perfect condition, for a fair price, and in just a couple of days from Ohio to California. Show more

I let her know that we had a few days before we would be ready. We called on Monday morning and she got us on the board immediately! In no time she had us set up for pickup with a preferred carrier and explained everything so that we understood. The process was super easy! The car was picked up the following morning at 11:00 a.m. in Ohio and arrived to my son in Connecticut at 11:00 a.m. the following day. The entire experience was smooth and easy and we are very happy that we chose AmeriFreight. If the need arises again we would not hesitate to use their service! Show more

I worked with Amanda Pike from Amerifreight who guided me through the whole process. I shipped my car from Ohio to Arizona with no problem. My car actually arrived before my flight landed.

Having purchased an automobile out of state in Ohio, in seeking to have the car transported to Georgia, our company came to engage AmeriFreight as our transport booking agent to solicit a transport company to handle our needs and requiremnts. We had gotten online quotes from other numerous transport booking agents, but we found that AmeriFreight came in with the lowest quote. In many cases other agencies quoted up to $400 more than the AmeriFreight quote. Some of the others even advertised a sliding scale whereby the price could 'change with the wind' along with other added deceptions thrown into the mix. Once the transport company was found, AmeriFreight provided round the clock text, emails and phone call assistance concerning the dispatch. The transport service company found was equally helpful and also provided phone calls, text and emails in a professional manner, all resulting in a seamless safe delivery the vehicle we had purchased out of state. Dealing with AmeriFreight in support of our transportation needs was a pleasure: their professional mannerisms and concerns were by far very reassuring, with no holds barred! AmeriFreight is strongly recommended for anyone needing safe and sound attention to the delivery of automobiles across the United States from one point to an other. Show more

The company was great: very responsive and detail oriented. They took the time to find the carrier that would work both within our timeline and our budget.

They were able to find a truck to pick my car up the day after I called them. My car was picked up Saturday around 4pm central time and was dropped off to me in Ohio around 12:30 Monday so they got it here in good time. I had about a 45 min heads up before they arrived and an hour heads up before the drop of so that was nice since they have to stop at near by large parking lots with the truck so I had to meet them. I was worried using a shipping company but this company came up as the most trusted in my searches (I used chatGPt to compare the top 6 transport companies on Forbes website based on reviews, price, active USDOT numbers ext.) I paid about 20% up front and the rest cash on arrival, the company Amerifreight contracted out for my car was NYC Transportation Inc and that company was great with my car. Did a full inspection and had a bill of lading. If I do another state to state move I’ll for sure use Amerifreight Show more

Open vs Enclosed Car Shipping in Ohio

Open Auto Transport

The most commonly selected option for standard vehicles. Cost-effective and widely available across Midwest routes.

Enclosed Auto Transport

Ideal for:

  • Luxury vehicles

  • Classic car shipping

  • Exotic vehicles

  • High-value automobiles

Provides additional protection from road exposure and weather conditions.

For EVs, only open or enclosed transport is available.

Ohio Car Shipping for Special Situations

Service Members and Military PCS Moves

We assist service members relocating near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and other Ohio installations.

College Students

Students attending Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, University of Dayton, and other institutions frequently use our student car shipping services.

Snowbirds and Seasonal Movers

Ohio residents relocating seasonally to Florida, Arizona, or Texas often schedule vehicle transport during fall and winter months.

Senior Citizens

We assist retirees relocating within Ohio or to warmer states with structured scheduling and coordinated support.

Home Movers

Families relocating into or out of Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, and Toledo often integrate car shipping into larger moving plans.

If a large truck can’t safely or legally reach your street (narrow roads, HOA or city rules, low trees, gated access), the carrier will meet at a nearby open area like a shopping center. You still get a smooth direct vehicle delivery experience, at the closest safe delivery point.

AmeriFreight Auto Transport State Market Insight

Why Ohio Is a Consistent and Well-Connected Car Shipping Market

What This Means for Your Car Shipment

Ohio’s population of nearly 11.8 million residents and more than 4.9 million households supports steady vehicle relocation demand across the Midwest. Large metro areas such as Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati generate frequent vehicle transport activity tied to manufacturing, logistics, healthcare systems, and expanding corporate employment. Cities like Toledo and Akron also contribute to regional relocation patterns, helping maintain consistent demand for Ohio car shipping.

Several interstate highways play an important role in moving vehicles across the state and connecting to national transport routes. Interstate 70 runs east to west through Columbus and links Ohio with Pennsylvania, Indiana, and major cross-country corridors. Interstate 71 connects Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, forming one of the busiest in-state shipping routes. Interstate 75 runs north to south through Toledo and Dayton and connects Michigan with Kentucky and the Southeast. A common shipment route moves vehicles between Columbus and Chicago along the I-70 and I-65 corridor, a frequently used Midwest transport route.

Manufacturing activity, university relocations, and military transfers connected to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base contribute to regular vehicle movement throughout the year. In smaller towns and rural regions across the state, carriers may coordinate pickup locations near interstate access points or nearby cities to maintain efficient routing.

Winter snow and seasonal weather conditions in the Midwest can occasionally influence vehicle transport scheduling.

AmeriFreight Auto Transport works with vetted, fully insured, and FMCSA-registered carriers who regularly service Ohio 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 Ohio car shipping, understanding these major transport corridors helps set realistic expectations.
