How your car gets to Alaska
An Alaska shipment is part road, part sea. Here is the route north, and we line up every leg of it.
Get your price
Enter both ZIP codes and your vehicle in the quote form. It is free and there is no obligation.
Truck to the port
A licensed, insured carrier picks the vehicle up at your address and hauls it to port on Puget Sound, usually Tacoma.
Sail to Anchorage
The vehicle goes north by ship. The sailing itself is the short part: a few days on the water.
Delivered in Alaska
Collect it at the port in Anchorage, or have it trucked on to Fairbanks, the Mat-Su Valley or the Kenai Peninsula.
Leaving Alaska? It is the same route in reverse: Anchorage, by sea to Washington, then by truck to any address in the lower 48.

Whichever way you are headed
Alaska is our focus. If your move does not touch Alaska at all, we ship that too.
Price my routeLower 48 to Alaska
Moving north or bringing a vehicle up for work. We pick up in any state and get it to Alaska.
Alaska to the lower 48
Leaving the state or sending a vehicle to family. We ship from Alaska to any address down south.
Military moves
PCS to or from JBER, Fort Wainwright or Eielson. We plan the shipment around your report date.
Bought out of state
Found the right truck in the lower 48? We collect it from the dealer, seller or auction and ship it north.
Snowbird and seasonal
Winters down south, summers in Alaska. Ship the vehicle ahead and fly.
State to state
Not an Alaska move? We ship between any two states, on open or enclosed carriers.
What we ship
Trucks, SUVs, cars and bikes, running or not. Size matters more on an Alaska route, because the ocean leg is priced by it.
Pickups and SUVs
The vehicles Alaska runs on. Stock trucks and SUVs go straight through the quote form.
Cars and crossovers
Sedans, coupes, hatchbacks and wagons.
Lifted and oversized
Lifted, dually or extra long? Call with the measurements so the price is right the first time.
Luxury and classic
Enclosed trailers on the road legs for high-value and collector vehicles.
Motorcycles
Carriers with the equipment to secure a bike safely.
Non-running vehicles
Tell us in the quote form. A vehicle that does not run needs extra handling on the truck and at the port.
Where we ship in Alaska
Most vehicles land at the port in Anchorage. From there the road system reaches most of where Alaskans live, and Juneau is served by water.
- Anchorage, Eagle River and JBER
- Wasilla, Palmer and the Mat-Su Valley

Why ship with Arctic
Alaska is not an ordinary car-shipping lane. It takes a truck, a ship and good timing between the two.
Arctic Auto Transport is built around that route. We line up the carrier on the road, the space on the ship and the handoff at each port, and we stay with you until the keys are back in your hand. Every road carrier is screened for an active license, a sound safety record and current cargo insurance.
One booking, every leg
Road and sea arranged together, so you are not coordinating two companies.
All-in pricing
Your quote is the full price. Nothing is added at delivery.
Vetted carriers
We check each carrier's license, safety record and active insurance.
Shipment tracking
Know where your vehicle is from pickup through delivery.
All 50 states
Alaska first, and any state-to-state route besides.

Questions people ask before shipping to Alaska
Not answered here? Call (564) 213-8184.
How does a car get to Alaska?
Part by road, part by sea. A carrier trucks the vehicle to port on Puget Sound, usually Tacoma. It sails to Anchorage, and from there you collect it at the port or we truck it on to your address. Leaving Alaska works the same way in reverse.
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Alaska?
It depends on how far the vehicle is from the port on the lower-48 side, where it is going in Alaska, its size, and how soon you need it. The ocean leg is priced by vehicle size, so a full-size truck costs more than a sedan. The quote form gives you one all-in price up front.
How long does it take?
The sailing takes a few days. Most of the time goes to trucking the vehicle to port and catching the next sailing, so the total depends mainly on how far it starts from Washington. We give you an estimated window when you book and keep you updated.
Can I leave things in the vehicle?
Plan on shipping it empty, with about a quarter tank of fuel. Ocean carriers restrict personal items, and anything left inside is not covered by cargo insurance. We confirm the exact rules for your sailing when you book.
Can you deliver outside Anchorage?
Yes. From Anchorage we truck across the road system, including the Mat-Su Valley, Fairbanks and the Kenai Peninsula. We also have a location in Juneau for Southeast Alaska. For Kodiak and other places off the road system, call us and we will quote it.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
We only work with licensed, vetted carriers that hold active cargo insurance. Ask us for the coverage details on each leg of your route before you book.
Can you ship a vehicle that does not run?
Yes. Choose “No, it is not operable” in the quote form. A non-running vehicle needs a winch on the truck and extra handling at the port, so we need to know up front.
Do you only ship to and from Alaska?
No. Alaska is our focus, but we ship between any two states. Enter your ZIP codes in the quote form and you will get a price either way.
