The FAQ's: Auto Shipping to Alaska

If you're searching for auto shipping services to or from Alaska there are a few things you should understand. For starters, it's much more expensive than regular auto transport from one mainland state to another; for another, it's more time-consuming; and lastly, it involves an entirely separate shipping company, the port shipper, to help transport your car. The process is very involved - after you book your order with a shipping company, they'll contract a carrier to pick your vehicle up and transport it to the port. The port shipper will then load onto a roll-on/roll-off cargo ship and transport it to the port in Alaska, usually in Anchorage.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to San Diego

With a population of over 1.3 million residents, the city of San Diego is the 9th largest city in the U.S. and the second-largest in the state of California. It's a popular auto transport destination due to its beautiful location on the southern California coast, and is a major transportation network in the region where it lies.

When it comes to shipping a car to the city, it's generally going to be quick and fairly cheap. San Diego is a popular auto transport location, like we mentioned, but it's not just popular for customers; many auto transport carriers will include San Diego in its cross-country routes, and oftentimes will run several different vehicles to the city at the same time. Prices can increase during the height of the summer season, as there is typically an influx of customers looking to ship to the city, but on the whole prices are relatively low on a per-mile basis for much of the year.

Auto Shipping by State: Louisiana

If you're looking for auto shipping to Louisiana, you're definitely reading the right blog, because we know all there is to know about moving a car to that particular state - well, every state, really, we're just a plethora of knowledge here at Automobile Shipping Quotes. But hey, it's our job.

Shipping a car to Louisiana can be relatively easy, or somewhat difficult, depending on where you're shipping to. New Orleans and the surrounding metro area is a popular auto transport destination, there's no doubting it, but once you're 50 miles out of New Orleans it's a whole different ball o' wax. Auto transporters don't like shipping too far off interstate highways - it's too tough and too costly, so they try to avoid it. Shipping to other major metro areas shouldn't be a problem, but with Louisiana's particular shape, shipping down into the southern areas (and the infamous Bayous) can be tricky.
