If you’re moving to Alaska, you’ve no doubt discovered the potential to run your savings account dry. But, there is an easy way to get there that doesn’t break the bank – ABF U-Pack. The price is similar to truck rental – but ABF does the driving. 

Basically, here’s how it works:

• A moving trailer or moving container is dropped off at your location.
• You load.
• ABF moves the trailer to Alaska (it travels to Tacoma on an ABF trailer then we’ll put the trailer on ship in Tacoma, WA to sail to Anchorage.
• We deliver to your location in Alaska (ask us about direct service points).

That means you can enjoy the drive down the Alaska Highway in your own vehicle, or catch a plane. And you’ll be hard pressed to find a better price for moving to Alaska. Especially when you consider that fuel and the driver are included in your U-Pack moving quote.

Moving to Alaska? Compare us to truck rental
You might think driving a rental truck is the easiest and cheapest way to move to Alaska. Probably not. And for two reasons:

First, there’s really not an easy, fast way to get there in a rental truck. Of course, you can take the Alaska Highway, and granted it’s beautiful and well-maintained…but there are areas that are narrow and winding, so in late fall, winter and early spring, road conditions aren’t good. Not ideal when you’re driving a huge truck containing all of your worldly possessions. I like adventure, but I think I’ll pass on that one.

Then, there’s the price. When you’re moving 3,000 plus miles, there are lots of moving costs involved – like hotel stays, eating out, fuel, snacks on the road, etc. Let’s just say you’re moving from Denver to Anchorage – 2330 miles, or 55 hours in a passenger car – even longer in a rental truck (man, that’s a long drive!) You can expect to spend at least $400 in hotel stays and $1200 in rental truck fuel. So, whatever your rental truck price is, add $1600 to $2000 to it. And remember…you have to drive it.
