Alaska to Oklahoma Auto Transport Shipping
Shipping a car from Alaska to Oklahoma 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 1,970 to 2,065 miles to Oklahoma. Most carriers cross the Rockies and the plains and come down into Oklahoma from Kansas or Colorado. Edmond is just north of Oklahoma City and Norman is just south, while Tulsa and Broken Arrow are about 100 miles northeast on the Turner Turnpike. Alaska to Oklahoma Auto Transport usually takes 2 to 4 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. Shipping an electric car or plug-in hybrid? Complete the form on this page or call 1-800-590-6492 before you book, because the ships and barges out of Alaska no longer accept them.
Ships out of Anchorage sail all year, so the sea leg is rarely the holdup. Winter can slow the truck in the mountains and bring ice storms to Oklahoma, and spring is severe storm season. Fall is usually the smoothest time to ship. Read more about seasonal auto transport prices.

Alaska to Oklahoma Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Your car's trip from Alaska to Oklahoma has three parts: a ship or barge to Washington, a wait at the port, and about 1,950 to 2,050 miles by truck. Winter in the mountains and spring storms on the plains cause most delays. Here's what to plan for.
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.
Tornado Season
Oklahoma sits in the middle of Tornado Alley, and April through June is the peak of storm season. Carriers pull over and wait out severe storms, and hail is a real risk for cars on an open trailer.
Tip: Think About an Enclosed Trailer in Spring
If you're shipping a new or valuable car during spring storm season, ask about an enclosed trailer. It costs more, but it protects the car from hail and blowing debris.
Tip: Register at a Licensed Operator
In Oklahoma, you register at Service Oklahoma or at a Licensed Operator, which is what the state now calls its tag agencies. For a car moving from another state in the same name, the grace period is 30 days. After that, late penalties of $1 a day start, up to $100.
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.
