Shipping beyond the mainland involves more coordination than a standard door-to-door transport. Your vehicle travels overland to a port, then by roll-on/roll-off cargo ship to its destination, where overland delivery picks up again. Transit times and pricing vary by destination, and each route has its own requirements worth knowing before you book.

Alaska Auto Shipping Shipping to or from Alaska combines overland transport with a ro-ro cargo leg through Pacific waters. Learn what to expect in terms of pricing, transit times, and how the Alaska route differs from other offshore destinations.

Hawaii Auto Shipping Hawaii shipments follow a similar process but involve different port locations and transit schedules. Read through what affects your rate and timeline before booking.

Puerto Rico Auto Shipping Puerto Rico is one of the more straightforward offshore routes from the East Coast. Find out what port logistics, transit times, and pricing look like for shipments to or from the island.

No. Any vehicles going overseas cannot have anything in them that is not a part of the vehicle (spare tires are okay; spare boxes are not). This is because to transport to Alaska and Hawaii cargo ships must pass through international waters. Please note that different rules govern the open seas.
