Quick Answers — Alaska Auto Transport
How does Alaska car shipping work?
Alaska car shipping combines land transport to a Pacific port (typically Seattle or Tacoma) with ocean freight via ferry or cargo ship to your Alaska destination. EZ Auto Movers coordinates both legs of the journey.
How much does it cost to ship a car to Alaska?
Alaska car shipping typically costs $1,800–$4,800+ depending on your origin and Alaska destination city. Remote interior cities like Fairbanks cost more than Anchorage. Get a free quote for your specific route.
How long does Alaska car shipping take?
Total door-to-door time is typically 2–4 weeks depending on your origin and destination. The ocean freight leg alone takes 5–10 days. Land transport time on both ends adds additional days.
Which port is used for Alaska car shipping?
Most Alaska vehicle shipments go through the Port of Seattle or Port of Tacoma in Washington. From there, vehicles travel by cargo ship or Alaska Marine Highway ferry to Anchorage (Port of Whittier) or Juneau.

About Alaska Auto Transport
Shipping a car to Alaska is more complex than standard lower-48 transport because it requires coordinating both land and ocean freight. Your vehicle is first transported overland to a Pacific port — typically Seattle or Tacoma — and then loaded onto a cargo ship or Alaska Marine Highway ferry for the ocean transit to Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks, or other Alaska destinations.
EZ Auto Movers coordinates the entire Alaska shipping process — from your door to the port, ocean transit, and final delivery at your Alaska address. We work with experienced Alaska freight carriers and port agents to ensure smooth handoffs and no gaps in your shipment's progress. Every mile is tracked and insured.
When to Choose Alaska Auto Transport
- You're relocating to Alaska (PCS military move, job relocation, or retirement)
- You purchased a vehicle in the lower 48 and need it delivered to Alaska
- You're returning to the continental US from Alaska and need your car shipped ahead
- You're a contractor, seasonal worker, or fisherman who needs a vehicle in Alaska
- You're moving to Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks, or any other Alaska city
Alaska Auto Transport Cost
$1,800 – $4,800+
Alaska pricing reflects both land and ocean freight costs. Anchorage is the most affordable destination; remote interior cities cost more.
Factors That Affect Price
- Origin location — how far your vehicle is from the Seattle/Tacoma port
- Alaska destination city — Anchorage is cheapest; Juneau, Fairbanks, or remote areas cost more
- Ocean freight schedule — cargo ships and ferries have set schedules; missing a vessel adds time
- Vehicle size — larger vehicles may incur higher ocean freight fees
- Season — winter shipping to Alaska can be slower and more expensive
- Ferry vs cargo ship — Alaska Marine Highway ferry is one option; cargo ships another
