What To Expect When Shipping a Car to Alaska
Shipping a vehicle to Alaska is not quite the same as standard domestic transport due to the state's unique geography, climate, and distance from the mainland U.S. Here's what you can anticipate when arranging for your vehicle's Alaskan adventure:
- Different Transport Options: We offer two primary methods, Container shipping, where your vehicle is secured inside a container, and Roll-on/Roll-off, where vehicles are driven onto a ship and off again at the destination) The choice will depend on your budget and preferences for vehicle protection.
- Weather-Related Delays: Alaska's severe weather conditions, especially in the winter months, can cause unforeseen delays.
- Thorough Documentation: Be prepared with the necessary documentation to ship into Alaska.
- Vehicle Preparation: Clean your vehicle inside and out and remove any personal belongings to make inspections quicker and ensure that nothing inside the car can move around during transport.
- Potential for Higher Costs: Shipping to Alaska can be pricier than standard domestic transport, given the added logistics and distances involved.
- Inspection Upon Arrival: Once your car reaches its Alaskan destination, it will be inspected for any potential damage incurred during shipping. It's a good practice to also personally inspect your vehicle and compare its condition to the state it was in pre-shipment.
