Car Transport Fairbanks Near Me
Fairbanks, the largest city in Alaska’s interior region, is home to roughly 31,000 people, approximately three times that in the entire metro area. It is where the University of Alaska is located and has much of the stunning natural beauty that you would expect of this extremely northern state. Winters are long and cold here, and summers are short and warm. During the mild summers, the area gets much of its annual rainfall. The region is also the place to see magnificent displays of the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, which can be seen around 200 days per year from any point in the area.
Despite the chilly conditions, this is an active town. The university has an ice hockey team and a fun-loving roller derby league here. The Fairbanks Grizzlies is the town’s arena football league, and the college is also home to baseball teams. Many people travel here for cross-country skiing, which is some of the best in the country. This town is also where you can see the Yukon Quest in action, a 1,000-mile dog sled race. Points of interest in the city include the Riverboat Discovery, Georgeson Botanical Gardens, and the Birch Hill Recreational Area.

Using Vehicle Transit Firms
When you are looking to book Fairbanks car transport services, keep a few key tips in mind:
- If you are booking through a middleman business, request to see the MC number so you know it is legit. After all, several companies out there claim to be affiliated with the industry but are not, so remember to remain a savvy consumer.
- Ask about the route used to ship your vehicle so you can plan on delivery methods that work for you. For instance, you might want door-to-door delivery, but it may not be an available option. Inquire about the route, so that you can determine something convenient to get your vehicle back.
- Don’t just accept the lowest offer; it might not offer the best quality. The quality of your transit services is just as important – if not more so – than the price, so don’t use that alone as a barometer for choosing a conveyance firm with which to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Fairbanks, Alaska?
The average cost to ship a car to or from Fairbanks typically ranges between $1,200 and $2,500, depending on distance, season, and carrier type. Shipping from the lower 48 states to Alaska involves specialized routes and may require ferry transport from Seattle or Tacoma. Prices tend to rise in winter due to icy road conditions and limited carrier availability. You can review estimated rates and factors affecting pricing in A1’s detailed car shipping cost guide.
How long does car shipping to Fairbanks take?
Delivery timelines depend on the pickup location and seasonal conditions. On average, shipping a car from the continental U.S. to Fairbanks can take 10–18 days, including transit through ports like Anchorage or Seattle. Weather, road closures, and barge schedules in Alaska can extend delivery times during winter months. Choosing door-to-door transport or expedited service may shorten delivery by a few days.
Can I ship a vehicle from Fairbanks to the lower 48 states?
Yes, many carriers operate southbound routes from Fairbanks to major U.S. cities through Anchorage or the Alaska Marine Highway System. Cars are often ferried from Anchorage to Tacoma, then hauled by truck to your destination. Rates depend on vehicle size, shipping method, and time of year. For faster, direct moves, check A1’s interstate car shipping options.
What’s the best way to track my car shipment to Fairbanks?
Customers can use A1 Auto Transport’s real-time shipment tracker to stay updated from pickup to delivery. You’ll receive alerts for location changes and estimated arrival times. This helps ensure transparency on long Alaska routes, especially during seasonal transport delays. Access the tracking tool on our car shipping tracker page.
What types of vehicles can be shipped to or from Fairbanks?
A1 Auto Transport handles a wide range of vehicles including cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, and RVs. Many residents ship snowmobiles and off-road vehicles during seasonal moves. Enclosed carriers are ideal for luxury or classic cars that need extra protection from Alaska’s weather. Specialized equipment and liftgate options are available for inoperable or oversized vehicles.
How should I prepare my car for shipment in Alaska’s cold weather?
Before pickup, clean the vehicle, check antifreeze levels, and ensure the battery is charged. Remove personal items and reduce the fuel level to about a quarter tank. If shipping during winter, consider using winter tires or chains to assist with loading and unloading in icy areas. Learn more preparation tips on our door-to-door auto transport page.
