How does InstaFreight work?
Customers register online at instafreight.de. In order to better understand customer requirements, new registered users are first contacted by InstaFreight and the user account is then enabled. Now, customers create a booking online by saying what, when, where and where to be transported. InstaFreight calculates a fixed price in seconds that customers can book with just one click. InstaFreight is a member of the Bundesvereinigung Logistik and is responsible for every step of the contract in the sense of the Allgemeine Deutsche Spediteurbedingungen (ADSp). This guarantees the company a worry-free and insured transport. Membership fees, system costs or commissions are not due. During transport, customers can track each shipment from loading to unloading via a track & trace system. After successful transport, InstaFreight sends the invoice to the customer. Cargo carriers who have completed the order with the app will receive the agreed freight rate within 72 hours.
