How to ship a car to Seward Harbor by sea

Seward Harbor is a cruise ship port and a small boat harbor. The large ships involved in auto transport do not dock at the harbor. Also, there are no cargo handling facilities and equipment at the port.

Fortunately, the Seward is accessible by road from the Port of Anchorage. It is 127 miles from Anchorage via the Alaska Route 1. Auto shippers transport cars from various ports in America or other ports around the world to the port of Anchorage which has auto cargo handling facilities. Then they transport the cars by road to Seward harbor.

Alternatively, you can meet your car at the Port of Anchorage and drive it to Seward Harbor. This option is cheaper because it reduces the shipping distance. Also, it is convenient as you will most likely land at an airport in Anchorage; the city is the most popular destination for most airlines flying to Alaska. Auto shippers use the same process when shipping from Seward Harbor.

How to ship a car to Seward Harbor by road

Shipping cars to or from Port of Seward, Alaska, is possible by road. Seward City is one of the locations in Alaska with good road connections. Please note that this method only serves people shipping to Seward from Canada or the 48 contiguous states of the US.

Alaska does not share a border with any US state. The road routes between Alaska and the US have to pass through Canada. For example, the road route from Seattle, Washington, to Seward is 2,385 miles and passes through the Canadian Province of British Columbia, and Yukon Territory.

The distances involved when shipping from the US to Seward are huge and the weather conditions in Canada and Alaska can be quite harsh. Therefore, we always recommend enclosed car transport. We also use air ride suspension to keep your vehicle from chucking during the long ride to Seward.

We pride ourselves on getting your car to its destination on time. However, harsh weather condition along routes to Alaska may delay your car shipment. As such, you should book the services of shipping cars to or from Port of Seward, Alaska, early enough. Isn’t it more convenient to have your car waiting for you at your destination rather than having to endure the frustration of having to wait for it?

Satisfied Customers

“Last year I wanted to ship my car to Alaska. I researched several companies online and got more and more discouraged after reading the reviews. It seemed I had to expect the worse, and I was getting a bit paranoid. Thank God I found A1 Auto Transport. Many of its reviews praised the team’s responsiveness and speed. I didn’t want to waste time pointlessly, so this caught my attention. I got quotes from several companies, but went with A1 in the end. It was a pleasure to work with Joe. He kept his word, answered all my questions, got a truck at my door the next day, and updated me on my car’s status throughout the process. He was very professional. Any questions I had, he answered them fully. This really helped clear the fog in my head. The company was attentive to weather and road conditions, so my vehicle arrived in Alaska on time and intact. They had to make a small detour at one point due to an accident up ahead. They informed immediately. Even so, the car still arrived at the expected time.”

Thank God I found A1 Auto Transport.

“Hiring A1 Auto Transport was far cheaper than I thought it would be. I’ve always imagined auto transport services to be expensive as hell. It was easy to get in touch with them and the pickup was scheduled for the very next day. Despite being in Bucharest at the time, I was able to arrange for its travel from Atlanta to Indiana without much of a fuss. I really appreciated the driver’s efforts to keep me in the know and loved how understanding and helpful the staff was overall. My car got to Indiana on the promised day within the time frame they estimated. It was in good condition, with no damage suffered during transport. I heard open transport often gets vehicles scratched by the weather or from pebbles on the road, but nothing happened to mine. I’ll get back to you guys when I go back to Atlanta.”

“I shipped my Civic from to South Dakota using A1 Auto Transport. Stories of people losing their cars in transit or having to wait weeks for them when using other companies, made me a bit weary. But fortunately, my experience with A1 was the exact opposite. My car arrived 5 days after its departure, even faster than me. The process felt a bit informal when I got updated on the transport’s status via text message. I was a bit stressed, but Joe’s reassurances made it bearable. I found another company with slightly lower prices, but they just didn’t seem trustworthy, so I chose A1. I met the driver before the shipment, which was also reassuring. Somehow, they managed to keep my Civic for 3 days until I got to South Dakota to pick it up. I’m quite happy with my choice and I’ll give them a call when I go back home.”

“Nicole: Our experience with A-1 Auto Transport could not have gone more smoothly. To make things even better, the car shipping quote you gave was cheaper than all other price quotes I received. Thanks for the great customer service and quick vehicle shipping! The communication via email was very helpful. We received immediate feedback when we had questions. We changed our pick-up location just 2 days before the shipment, and the change did not affect the degree of professionalism we received; but, rather, the change was implemented smoothly and acknowledged by email. We did not use the GPS tracking service only because we were on the road at the same time our vehicle shipment was on the road. We would have used it otherwise. Yes, we would use your service again and will highly recommend your company to others. Sincerely, Kimberly”
