There are many items that impact the rate of your Alaska to Illinois auto transport. The time of year is important factor as more people are transporting vehicles during the summer which means fewer transport spots are available. The type of shipping (enclosed or open) is another big factor in cost. The size of your compact car, kingcab pickup, crew cab truck or minivan also has a big impact on your shipping cost.
