Most of the time, when someone wants to send their car to Alaska; they ship it out of Seattle. It’s the northern-most port in the Lower 48, so Seattle is often the most convenient. But that’s not the only port we’ve shipped vehicles out of!

In fact, we’ve shipped vehicles to Alaska from most of the major ports along the West Coast, including the ports of Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even San Diego.
