There Are Three Main Shipping Options to Choose From
RORO Shipping
RoRo shipping: When your vehicle is operable and can make it onto the ship on its own, this is the most popular mid-range cost option.
Air Freight
Air freight: This is the most expensive choice but your transit time is reduced to hours or a couple of days as opposed to two or more weeks. Usually, people shipping cars to auto shows choose this option.
Container Shipping
Container shipping: When your vehicle is unable to make it onto the ship of its own power, we can put it in a container and your car will share space with up to five other cars.

In addition, the car must be clean and in perfect running condition.
The Process of Shipping a Car to Alaska
While every job is different, there are some generalities you can count on. We will advise you of the process when you book with us. Here’s what to expect:
- First, you bring the car to one of our terminals in the U.S. – or, if you don’t live close to one of the above ports, our drivers will pick up your car and bring it there for you.
- Next, your vehicle will be secured inside the container for the trip starting out at the departure terminal. We will take photos of the loading process so you can be kept apprised and see them online.
- Third, your vehicle will make its way to the destination terminal of your choosing in Alaska. Online tracking of your shipment is available.
- Lastly, upon arrival, you will retrieve the car. If you are unable to pick up the car yourself, our drivers can pick it up and deliver it to your door.
