Alaska Auto Transport Rates

Alaska Auto TransportOne of the biggest factors in the cost of your auto transport is selecting open or enclosed transport. Auto dealerships safely receive vehicles every day on open car trailers. To save money we highly recommend this option, unless of course you are shipping an irreplaceable luxury, high end sports car, or antique vehicle. Other factors that impact shipping cost include the size, weight and type of car or truck. The body type such as pickup truck, full-size crossover, roadster car, mid-size crossover and compact car you are shipping can also affect your shipping cost. Usually the larger the vehicle the higher the shipping rate. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered its dimensions they can also increase the cost of shipping. Below are some of the accessories that can increase cost.
  • Rear bumper guards
  • Extended side mirrors
  • Trailer hitch
  • Grill guards
  • Side steps
  • Lift kits
  • Nerf bars
  • Running lights
  • 4 wheel drive
Alaska auto transport rates are calculated by the mile and rates change depending on the cost of fuel. Often you can save money by driving your vehicle to a shipping terminal and picking the vehicle up at another shipping terminal near your delivery address. Terminal to terminal can save you a lot of money but if you need or prefer door to door auto transport make sure that your pick-up and delivery locations are accessible by a full-size tractor trailer. The method of payment you choose to use for your vehicle delivery can sometimes affect your rate. Although some companies prefer COD, most carriers accept both COD and credit cards. Please check with your carrier first if you intend to pay with a check. The time of year also affects the rates of shipping a vehicle, summer is high season and the rates are higher. If the vehicle you are transporting is not operational this will significantly add to your rate. You must inform the shipping company if your vehicle is inoperable.

Alaska Auto Shipping Process

The best way to avoid any problems with your Alaska car shipping is by careful preparation. You can ship an inoperable vehicle, but it will be more expensive. Vehicles that are not steerable and/or do not have operable brakes will cost significantly more. You MUST inform the carrier of the vehicles condition and be prepared to pay a higher rate. Many drivers will not transport an inoperable vehicle if they have not been first notified. Be sure that both your delivery and pick up addresses are correct. Remember that weight is a major factor in your rate. Do not use your vehicle as a method to ship other personal items and have only a quarter tank of gas or less in your vehicle at the time of pick up.
Alaska Car ShippingWhen the driver arrives at your pick-up location you will receive a bill of lading. It is crucial that you verify the accuracy of everything in this document. You and the pick-up driver will then carefully inspect your car or trucks condition, notating any defects such as dents, scratches, cracked or broken glass etc. on the bill of lading. Many customers and carrier drivers will take photos of the vehicle being shipped at this time. This documentation can be important in the unlikely event of any damage incurred throughout the vehicles transport process. Because we check out all of our affiliated carriers and drivers documentation before we partner with these associates, damages or other problems are rare. However, in the unlikely event that any unfortunate problems or issues do arise you should definitely document them and also contact the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Keeping an open line of communication with your carrier or driver is the best thing you can do to assure a problem free auto shipping experience. Our Alaska auto transport partners will attempt to keep you informed throughout the entire transport process. Our partners typically deliver on-time, however occasionally situations created by road conditions, weather, or other traffic related delays are possible. Staying in contact with your driver will help reduce a lot of stress.

Shipping Impacts

When selecting door to door transport services, local road conditions can impact pickup and delivery times and locations. The majority of auto transports are accomplished by semi-trailers. Big rigs are difficult to maneuver on many roads and streets. Alaska has 31,618 miles of highways and streets with many rural roads and other road conditions that will prevent or limit access for tractor trailer trucks. If the pickup and/or drop off locations have any obstructions that could prevent the truck from accessing the location we recommend you select a different location. This can easily be accomplished by coordinating with the driver. Selecting a shopping plaza or other open area is usually best. Traffic can also impact pickup and/or drop-off schedules. We recommend you check road and traffic conditions for delays. Check here to find current traffic conditions in Alaska .Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.
