FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About State to State Car Shipping
Delivery times range from 3 to 10 days, depending on the distance and route.
AmeriFreight accepts various payment methods, including credit cards and bank transfers, with no up-front deposit required.
Costs are based on factors such as distance, vehicle size, transport type, and seasonality.
The cheapest way to ship a car in the USA is typically through open auto transport. This method is the most economical because it allows carriers to transport multiple vehicles at once on an open trailer. Booking your shipment during off-peak seasons, being flexible with your pick-up and delivery dates, and choosing terminal-to-terminal service (if available) can also help reduce costs.
It is generally recommended to avoid shipping personal items in your vehicle, as they are not covered by the carrier's insurance and can add weight, potentially increasing your shipping cost. However, AmeriFreight can provide specific guidelines if you choose to include personal items.
