FACTORS THAT
IMPACT PRICE
Distance
The distance your vehicle needs to travel plays a role in determining the cost. Longer distances require more resources and time, so shipping across the country may have a higher rate compared to local moves.
Destination
The location of your pickup and delivery can influence the price. While major cities are easier to reach, more remote or rural areas may require extra logistics to ensure a smooth and timely transport. Wrightway has relationships with partners across the country that span decades, ensuring that you’ll get the best rate with reliable service.
Vehicle Make & Model
The type of vehicle being shipped can impact the overall transport. Larger vehicles, such as oversized trucks or specialty cars may need more space or specific handling, which can affect the quote. Standard passenger vehicles tend to be more straightforward to ship.
Transport Speed
If you need your vehicle delivered within a specific timeframe, expedited shipping is available. For a more inexpensive option, standard shipping is a reliable and cost-effective solution.
Carrier Type
Choosing between an open or enclosed carrier can affect your transport options. Open carriers are an efficient and popular choice, while enclosed carriers provide extra protection for high-value vehicles, offering peace of mind with an added level of care.

"What a team!"
I have shipped multiple vehicles to and from Alaska using Wrightway Auto Carriers. I am always impressed with how they take care of my vehicles. My most recent shipping needs were a bit of a mess, and on a tight schedule. Paul and his team made my problem their priority. I was amazed at the level of communication, and quick action they took to get my car moving towards Alaska. What a TEAM!

"Quick turnaround."
Had a car shipped from Colorado to Anchorage, AK. They were professional, spot on quote, the contract had barge information included so I knew exactly what was expected. Their website advertises "Hassle Free Vehicle Transportation" and that is exactly what I got. Easy and quick to correspond with and had answers. Quick turn around. Total 5 star.

"Customer service has been outstanding."
Have shipped 4 vehicles to and from Alaska over the past 3 years with Wrightway. Twice they re-booked me on very short notice from the original freight carrier to another in order to ensure I could drop my car off on the planned day in Tacoma without affecting my travel plans and airline tickets. Really appreciate how much they worked hard to help in every situation.

"We saved about 600 dollars compared to the others"
We drove up from San Diego to Tacoma and had our cars shipped to Anchorage. We saved about 600 dollars compared to the other carriers and they only needed a few days notice. Staff was awesome. We received our 17 Jetta and brand new 22 BMW in perfect condition.

"They are always friendly and patient"
Have used them a few times for shipping vehicles between Anchorage and Tacoma. They are always friendly and patient when dealing with someone like myself who always ends [up] calling multiple times. I believe the lady's name was Daniella who had to deal with me the last time where I called at least 6 times. She was great and never sounded put out from my repeated calls.
