Alaska to New Hampshire Auto Transport Shipping
Shipping a car from Alaska to New Hampshire is really two trips. Cars from Anchorage sail south to Tacoma, Washington, on TOTE Maritime or Matson, and the voyage takes about three days. Fairbanks cars first ride about 360 miles south on the Parks Highway to Anchorage. Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan have no road connection to the rest of the country, so cars from Southeast Alaska go south by barge to Seattle. From Tacoma or Seattle, a car carrier drives about 3,040 to 3,080 miles to New Hampshire. Many carriers follow I-90 all the way east to Massachusetts, then head north on I-495 and I-93. Derry, Manchester and Concord are along I-93, Nashua is on the Everett Turnpike near the Massachusetts line, and Rochester is in the Seacoast area on the Spaulding Turnpike. Alaska to New Hampshire Auto Transport usually takes 2 to 5 weeks from pickup to delivery. Auto transport rates can vary a lot between carriers, which is why getting several quotes matters.

Anchorage is the cheapest place in Alaska to ship from, because it has the main port. Fairbanks adds a truck ride to Anchorage, and Southeast Alaska adds a barge to Seattle. Size matters on the ship: TOTE charges the same southbound price for cars and SUVs under 84 inches tall, but anything bigger needs a custom quote. On the truck leg, a large SUV or pickup usually adds $75 to $150, and a car that doesn't run adds about $150 to $300. Our guide to what affects your auto transport quote covers the rest.

Ships out of Anchorage sail all year, so the sea leg is rarely the holdup. Winter is hard on the northern plains and in New England, and spring mud season can limit access to rural roads. Summer and early fall are the easiest times to ship. Read more about seasonal auto transport prices.

Alaska to New Hampshire Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Alaska to New Hampshire is one of the longest car shipments in the country. After the ship or barge to Washington, the truck covers more than 3,000 miles, almost all of it on I-90. Here's what tends to slow it down, and how to plan around it.
Electric Cars Are Hard to Ship
TOTE stopped taking electric cars and plug-in hybrids on August 1, 2025, Matson has suspended them, and Alaska Marine Lines does not ship them either. If you drive an EV or plug-in hybrid, tell us before you book so we can talk through your options.
Winter Driving to the Port
In winter, snow and ice can slow the drive to the Anchorage port, especially on the Parks Highway from Fairbanks. If you are dropping the car off yourself between November and March, leave extra time.
Spring Mud Season
In March and April, New Hampshire towns post weight limits on many back roads while the ground thaws. A loaded car carrier may not be allowed on those roads, so rural deliveries often meet at a main road instead.
Tip: Book the Ship and Truck Together
Ask for a quote that covers both the sailing and the truck. When one company lines up both legs, your car is less likely to sit at the port in Washington waiting for a truck.
Tip: Start at Your Town or City Clerk
New Hampshire gives new residents 60 days to register their cars. Unlike most states, you start at your town or city clerk's office, not the DMV. Bring photo ID, proof of where you live and your Alaska title. Registering the car first and then getting your license is usually easiest.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.
