Our carriers are experienced with northern winter driving conditions and use appropriate equipment to ensure safe transport regardless of season.

What is the main route for shipping vehicles to Yukon?

The primary route for vehicle transport to Yukon is via the Alaska Highway (Highway 97), which connects British Columbia through to Whitehorse and beyond.

This historic highway provides year-round access and is the most reliable corridor for commercial vehicle transport to the territory.

Do you offer door-to-door delivery in Yukon?

Door-to-door service is available in Whitehorse and most accessible communities along the Alaska Highway corridor.

For more remote locations, we may arrange delivery to the nearest accessible point or coordinate with local transport services to complete the final leg of delivery.

Insurance documentation and coverage details are provided in your shipping contract before transport begins.

Can you ship vehicles from Yukon to the United States or Alaska?

Cross-border shipments require additional customs documentation, which our team can help you prepare in advance.

Standard preparation includes removing personal belongings, ensuring the vehicle has no more than a quarter tank of fuel, and documenting any existing damage before pickup.

For winter shipments, we recommend ensuring your vehicle has adequate antifreeze levels and that the battery is in good condition for the northern climate.

How far in advance should I book Yukon vehicle shipping?

We recommend booking at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance for Yukon shipments, as carrier availability for northern routes can be more limited than southern corridors.
