Alaska has unique vehicle transport needs due to its size, remote locations, limited road access, and reliance on ports and marine routes. Car shipping to and from Alaska is available year-round, with pricing influenced by distance, port availability, seasonal weather, and whether the vehicle is transported by truck, ship, or a combination of both.

Shipping a car to or from Alaska is different from shipping within the continental U.S., but the process is still simple when handled by an experienced auto transport company. Our goal is to make the process clear and stress-free from start to finish. Instead of driving long distances or navigating remote routes yourself, your vehicle is transported using a combination of ground transport and ocean shipping when needed.
The process begins by getting an instant quote and selecting your preferred pickup and delivery locations. Most Alaska shipments move through major ports, commonly via Seattle, before being shipped by vessel to Alaska. Once your vehicle reaches the destination port, it is either picked up or delivered to a nearby meeting point, depending on location and accessibility.
We help coordinate every step of the process and keep you informed along the way. After receiving your quote, feel free to ask our team about available options or discounts that may apply based on timing, route, or vehicle type.
Anyone can use our Alaska auto transport service, including:
- Families and households moving to or from Alaska
- Dealers and resellers shipping in or out of Alaska
- Online car buyers purchasing vehicles at auctions and shipping them to or from Alaska
- Rental companies and fleet owners shipping their vehicles to or from Alaska
- Students and relatives relocating from or to Alaska

With our flexible Alaska car shipping services, you can choose pickup and delivery dates that fit your schedule. Whether you need an urgent pickup or you’re planning ahead, we help coordinate timing that works best for your route and location. When shipping a vehicle to or from Alaska, scheduling often depends on port availability and vessel departure dates, which we factor in when providing your quote.
Once you receive an instant quote, you can request specific pickup or delivery windows through your agent. Our experienced team works closely with carriers and ports to ensure your vehicle is picked up on time and delivered safely within the agreed timeframe, keeping you informed throughout the process.
Several factors affect how long it takes to ship a vehicle to or from Alaska, including distance, routing, port schedules, weather conditions, and the time of year. Because Alaska shipments often involve both ground transport and ocean freight, transit times are longer and less predictable than standard routes within the lower 48 states.
Once your vehicle is picked up, transport to or from Alaska typically takes seven to fourteen days, depending on the pickup location, port availability, and vessel schedule. Vehicles shipped from or to the West Coast, most commonly through Seattle, usually move faster than routes starting farther inland.
It’s important to note that pickup time and transit time are not the same. Carrier assignment and port scheduling may take several days after booking, especially during peak shipping months. Major cities such as Anchorage and Fairbanks generally have more consistent scheduling, while remote or rural areas may require additional time.
Delivery timelines can also be affected by weather, ocean conditions, port congestion, and seasonal demand. Delays are more common during winter months or peak summer shipping periods. Choosing flexible pickup and delivery windows helps ensure smoother coordination and more reliable delivery.

We will find you a reliable carrier to pick up and deliver your vehicle on time.
Your vehicle will be delivered to your doorstep as safely and legally as possible.
Carriers in Alaska typically pick up and deliver vehicles at:
- Port terminals and designated shipping facilities
- Residential areas with adequate road access
- Dealerships and commercial parking lots
- Vehicle storage yards or logistics facilities
Limited road access, seasonal weather conditions, and port-based delivery requirements often make designated meeting points necessary in Alaska. In some areas, especially outside major cities, home delivery may not be possible. When this happens, your driver or port agent will coordinate with you to meet at the closest safe, legal, and accessible location for vehicle pickup or drop-off.

- Maximum vehicle height and weight limits apply on Alaska highways and ferry routes.
- Oversized auto carriers may require route planning due to limited road access and seasonal restrictions.
- No special permits are required for standard passenger vehicle transport.
- Vehicles must be operable or clearly declared inoperable before shipment.
- Some routes may require vehicles to move through ports or ferries rather than highways.

Distance is a key factor influencing your car shipping cost to or from Alaska. Shorter distances usually cost less, while longer distances can sometimes be cheaper when they surpass a certain mileage. Carriers can transport up to 12 cars simultaneously and handle cross-country shipping.

Your vehicle size is the main factor in determining your shipping cost. If you're shipping a truck like a Ford F-150, your shipping quote will be higher than for a regular sedan. The size and weight of the vehicle affect the shipping cost due to carrier trailer capacity and federal weight laws.

Open transport is the most common and affordable option available. Most individuals and car dealerships use open car transport. When shipping a vehicle with an enclosed trailer, your shipping costs increase due to higher protection and premium service. If you're shipping a luxury or classic car, use our enclosed shipping services.
