Auto Shipping by State: Alaska

Looking to ship your car to Alaska? It's a bit more involved than simple city-to-city auto transportation, and it's going to cost a fair bit more, but on the whole it's a lot easier to ship a car to Alaska than it is to drive up through Canada (it's a longer drive than you might think!).

Once you book your auto shipping to Alaska with a transport company, they're going to find a carrier to pick your vehicle up from wherever it is and transport it via overland truck to the port in Seattle (or Tacoma, but it's usually Seattle). Once there, it'll be put onto a large cargo vessel and shipped overseas to the port in Anchorage, usually, though some shipping companies can ship to other ports as well. Pricing depends highly on availability and the time of year, so talk to your shipper about when the best time to ship a car to Alaska would be.
