Amerifright quoted me less than $1,100 to ship my car from California to Massachusetts. After a week of trying to find a company that would take the job, they came back with a quote of around $1,700 including insurance. This ends up putting them at a higher rate than virtually every other reputable quote I received. Part of the reason for this seems to be that they take a larger cut than most brokers. I did a fair bit of research into different brokers and was impressed at AmeriFreight's ratings online. Then I found out in the contract for listing the car that every customer is required to submit a review. This explains their high marks as most businesses have lower ratings than actual customer perception due to the fact that happy customers are less likely to review than unhappy ones. As such, Amerifreight's stellar reviews are likely over-inflated compared to competitors that do not require all customers to rate them.

This customer opted for our Economy rate, which is explained in detail both by our customer service agents over the phone and in writing. This option allows for customers to receive multiple shipping offers from carriers, of which they get to make the final decision to accept an offer or wait for one that better suits their price range. This rate often saves customers hundreds of dollars on their auto shipments. The customer opted to cancel their order after only one carrier offer. In addition, AmeriFreight never requires that customers leave a review. We appreciate all feedback from customers, as it helps us to constantly improve our customer experience. We provide customers with links to review sites at the end of their shipment, and it is always the customer's choice should they decide to write about their experience. The customer's statements in reference to our review process are entirely incorrect.
