Fairbanks Car Shipping

Fairbanks Car Shipping Six Hours Up the Road From the Terminal

Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Fairbanks, the Interior city at the end of the road system, where the Army post sits in town behind its gates and the Air Force base twenty-five miles down the Richardson Highway, the university sits on its ridge above the west side, the Chena runs through downtown, the winters reach forty below and the ice fog sits in the valley for weeks, and the nearest port is the Anchorage terminal, six hours south on the Parks Highway. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before it is assigned, and then with an ocean carrier on a booked sailing.

A Fairbanks move is the Anchorage relay with a long last leg, told straight: a truck brings the car to the Port of Tacoma, a weekly sailing lifts it to Anchorage in three to seven days, and the car either waits at the terminal for you to drive it north or finishes overland to Fairbanks on a truck that adds the miles and a few days. Door to door, plan on two to three weeks from Puget Sound and four to six from most other lower-48 origins. Soldiers and airmen reporting on orders, families shipping the second car the government does not move, students arriving in August, and hires at the university and the hospital on a start date are the shipments we see most. The grids take the truck to the door; a post address meets it at a lot on the Richardson by the gate, agreed at booking, and every car that ships north in winter needs a battery and antifreeze rated for forty below before it lands.
