How to get your car to Juneau
As we mentioned, Juneau is not accessible by road. So, driving there is not an option. You only have one option in terms of getting your car there, shipping it. Thankfully, shipping a car to Juneau is simple.
If you need your car shipped to Juneau, you should start by contacting your car shipping company for a quote which will let you know the estimated price and shipping duration. After that you will need to get in touch with the shipping company and schedule your shipment. In order to get your preferred dates of pickup and delivery you should do all of this at least a month in advanced.
Once you have your shipment booked and scheduled, all you will need to do at that point is prepare for your upcoming shipment. You can do all of the preparation in the days before your shipment. First, you will need to get the outside of the car completely cleaned so that your driver can quickly and efficiently perform their inspection for preexisting damage. Next, you should make sure that you do not have any personal items in the car. If they are damaged or lost during shipping your personal effects will not be covered by the car shipping insurance. Finally, make sure the car is running and functioning correctly, otherwise it will not be able to be shipped.
