About shipping cars to and from Alaska
Whipshipper moves cars in and out of Alaska every week. We pick up at your door and deliver to wherever your car is going, whether that is one town over or all the way across the country.
Alaska shipping involves ocean freight out of Tacoma or Seattle with Lynden or Carlile, or a long truck route up the AlCan Highway. Sea is usually faster and cheaper. Winter weather can hold sailings for days, so build in buffer.
Popular lanes from Alaska include Alaska to Washington, Alaska to California, Alaska to Texas. We also handle inbound moves from those same regions every day.
Why ship with Whipshipper in Alaska
Door to door service, live carrier GPS, and a $99 deposit that locks the rate.
Door to door pickup
We send a carrier to your address in Alaska (or as close as the truck can legally park) and deliver to the same kind of address at the destination.
Live carrier GPS
Once your car is loaded you get a tracking link with the truck's live location, updated every minute. No more calling the driver for status.
$99 deposit locks the rate
Your quoted price is your final price. The $99 deposit holds the carrier on your dates. Balance due to the driver on delivery.
Open and enclosed options
Open transport is the budget standard. Enclosed transport adds full weather and road protection for classics, exotics, and high value cars.
Insured every mile
Every carrier on our load board carries cargo insurance. We verify it on every dispatch and provide proof of coverage at pickup.
Real humans on the phone
Call (800) 227-7472 and you get a real Whipshipper coordinator, not a call center. We work the load board on your behalf until your car is moving.
