Athens' location along Interstate 75, with convenient access to U.S. Highway 11, State Route 30, State Route 305, and nearby State Route 39, provides efficient access to major Southeast transportation corridors.

Whether you're shipping out of Athens or moving a vehicle into the area, we've got the service to match your needs.
Every carrier in our network carries federally required cargo coverage. That said, certain damage scenarios can fall outside what standard carrier coverage actually handles and that gap is worth knowing about before your Athens shipment moves. The AFTA PLAN is an optional protection plan that covers eligible damage claims that standard carrier coverage misses. It's not insurance but it adds a real layer of protection. If you go with it you've got 48 hours from delivery to report any damage. Your agent will walk you through exactly what's covered.
The estimate your agent provides covers all expected costs for your shipment. If anything changes before your vehicle is dispatched, your agent will communicate that to you before any payment is processed. You are never charged without your knowledge and consent. We do not promise locked-in pricing, but we do promise that your vehicle is never dispatched without your agreement on the final cost.
Getting a quote from AmeriFreight Auto Transport costs nothing and we don't ask for payment information upfront. We search our carrier network on your behalf and when we find a match for your Athens route your agent walks you through the full offer, pickup window, estimated delivery timeframe and total cost included. You review everything first. Payment only happens after you've seen the offer and decided it works for you.
You can cancel your Athens shipment at no charge at any point before your vehicle has been dispatched to a carrier. Once a carrier has been dispatched, cancellation terms apply. Your agent walks you through the full terms at the time of booking so there are no surprises if your plans change.
AmeriFreight Auto Transport has been a trusted name in vehicle shipping for over two decades. In an industry where pop-up brokers and new entrants come and go constantly, our track record and verified reviews across multiple independent platforms say more than we ever could about what working with us actually looks like.
Every carrier we partner with holds active FMCSA operating authority and carries federally required cargo coverage. We don't work with carriers that don't meet those standards. Your Athens vehicle gets handled by a vetted professional, not an unscreened driver pulled from an open marketplace.

Transit times begin after pickup and are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery windows. Traffic along Interstate 75, mountain weather, road construction, and seasonal demand throughout East Tennessee may affect transportation schedules.
No. There is no upfront payment until you choose a carrier. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent first locates a qualified carrier, presents the complete transportation offer for your review, and your shipment is only dispatched after you approve the carrier. Payment is required only after you choose the carrier that best fits your Athens shipment.
The optional AFTA Plan provides additional gap protection for qualifying Athens vehicle shipments and is not insurance. If selected, qualifying delivery-related concerns must be reported within 48 hours after delivery. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will explain the plan's eligibility requirements, benefits, limitations, and exclusions during your estimate.
The U.S. Department of Transportation generally prohibits household goods inside vehicles during auto transport. Some carriers may allow up to approximately 100 pounds of personal belongings in the trunk with prior approval and an additional fee. Personal belongings are not covered by the carrier's cargo protection or the optional AFTA Plan. Vehicles shipped to Hawaii cannot contain personal belongings.
