OPEN car shipping

When it comes to car shipping in Alaska, open trailer transport is a popular and reliable choice. This transport method offers quick and efficient loading and unloading, making it a cost-effective solution. It’s important to note that during the journey, vehicles on open transport trailers are exposed to the elements, which may result in some dust or dirt accumulation. This is a normal part of the transport process and our carriers take every precaution to ensure the safety of your vehicle during transit.

ENCLOSED car shipping

For classic, luxury, or exotic vehicles, as well as motorcycles and powersports, enclosed transport is the preferred choice. Not only does it provide added protection, it may also be required for vehicles with low ground clearance that need special loading equipment like a lift gate. By shipping your car on an enclosed trailer, it will be shielded from various weather conditions and road debris. If you’re looking for the highest level of protection during transit, enclosed transport is your best choice.

Top 5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Alaska

  • If you’re moving to Alaska, you must obtain an Alaska driver’s license within 90 days of establishing residency. If you’re a non-resident working in Alaska, you may drive with your out-of-state license for up to 90 days. All vehicles must be registered with the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
  • Alaska requires all drivers to carry liability insurance with minimum coverage limits. You should be aware of and adhere to Alaska’s specific insurance requirements.
  • In certain areas of Alaska, drivers often equip their vehicles with winter tires during the cold season for safety and better traction. Studded tires are legal from September 15 to May 15.
  • If you plan to take your vehicle on the Alaska Marine Highway System ferries, review the vehicle policies and make reservations well in advance.
  • The state of Alaska has just one toll road, the Whittier Access Tunnel, also known as Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. Make sure you know what to expect and how to pay tolls when traveling on this toll road. If shipping your vehicle out of the state, be sure to remove the toll tag to avoid incurring fees while it’s in transit.

Also remove or disable any kind of security system that could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.

Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it.

The added equipment and work will be an additional expense.

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand.

With Montway’s door-to-door service, you can have your car picked up anywhere in the U.S. and dropped off at your home address in Alaska.
