There are many items that impact the rate of your Alaska to South Dakota 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 mid-size crossover, crew cab truck, lower rider or compact car also has a big impact on your shipping cost.
