Available State-to-State & Cross-Country Car Shipping Options in AK

Let’s dive into the main types of car transport services typically used for shipping to and from Alaska, whether you're relocating across the country or moving between states. In most cases, there are three options: roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping, container shipping, and combined transport logistics.

Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) Shipping

RoRo is one of the widely used methods for shipping a car to and from Alaska. Vehicles are driven onto a vessel, secured for transit, and driven off at the destination port. This option is best for operable vehicles and offers a balance of cost and convenience.

Container Shipping

Container shipping is the safest method for transporting cars to or from Alaska. It not only offers protection from the elements but also accommodates vehicles that can’t be rolled onto a ship. This method is ideal for luxury, antique, or non-operational vehicles, providing added shielding from weather and rough handling throughout the journey.

Combined Transport Logistics

Shipping a car to or from Alaska often requires a combination of trucking and ocean freight. This method is more efficient and expands the possibilities for door-to-door delivery. Our team coordinates every step of the process for a smooth experience.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Alaska Car Transportation?

These are the best ways to prepare your vehicle for safe and smooth transportation:

Clear out your vehicle entirely, including all personal items and belongings. Legally, up to 100 lbs of personal items are permitted in the vehicle, but again, you'll want to check with your carrier.

Check all the fluids: battery, gas, oil, and coolant. To keep safety in mind, keep the tank about ¼ full.

Disable the car alarm so it won't go off while being transported. You can also share any anti-theft features or passcodes the carrier may need.

Take comprehensive photos or video of your car's condition before it ships. You may want to refer back to these if things happen either in or after delivery.

Extra Tips For Alaska Car Shipping Services

You can benefit from more affordable auto shipping rates and a smoother car shipping process after reading these simple pointers: 

Book in Advance. Book at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance for your auto transport. By reserving your auto shipping service in advance you can ensure better rates and availability with your carrier.

Select Open Transport. If you are shipping a regular car, consider selecting open carrier transport rather than enclosed transport. Open carrier transport provides significant savings, especially for long distance or cross country transport.

Ship in an Off-Peak Season. The best time to schedule your auto transport is during the fall or spring season. Take advantage of the lower rates during the off-peak months. Do not book your transport in peak months such as summer or over holidays. You will get better rates when demand is lower during the season.
