Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to ship a car from Alaska to West Virginia?
Shipping a car from Alaska to West Virginia typically takes between 10 to 12 days, depending on factors like the departure and arrival locations, weather conditions, and the specific route. For instance, shipments from Anchorage to Charleston often arrive within this timeframe after the vehicle is dropped off at the port. However, delays can occur due to unforeseen circumstances, so it's advisable to plan accordingly.
What are the main ports used for shipping cars from Alaska to West Virginia?
The primary ports for this route are the Port of Alaska in Anchorage and the Port of Tacoma in Washington. Vehicles are typically shipped via ocean freight between these ports, with options for further transport to West Virginia if needed.
Can I ship personal items inside my car during transport?
Most auto transport companies advise against leaving personal items in the vehicle during shipment. Items left inside are generally not covered by insurance and can shift during transit, potentially causing damage. It's best to remove all personal belongings before shipping your car.
Is it possible to ship a non-running vehicle from Alaska to West Virginia?
Yes, non-operational vehicles can be shipped, but they require special equipment for loading and unloading, such as winches or forklifts. This service may incur additional fees, so it's important to inform the transport company about the vehicle's condition in advance.
What preparations are needed before shipping my car from Alaska to West Virginia?
Before shipping, ensure your vehicle is clean and free of personal items. Leave only about a quarter tank of fuel, as required by Coast Guard regulations. Document the vehicle's condition with photos, and ensure it's in good working order unless otherwise arranged. Also, provide the necessary keys and inform the transport company of any modifications to the vehicle.
