Continental and United Van Lines in Alaska

Continental is an agent for United Van Lines
in Alaska
For many outside of the industry, there is a lot of confusion regarding companies that are affiliated with major van lines.   To add to the confusion, moving to, from, and within Alaska requires services outside those van lines.

So, what is the difference between United Van Lines and Continental?   Continental is an agent for and shareholder of United Van Lines and its parent company UniGroup.  In essence, United is a trading network of agents who make up the van line.  Each agent is an individually owned company. In the case of Continental, it has been owned by the same family for nearly 60 years, starting in Anchorage when Alaska was still a territory.

The van line itself provides a way to ensure consistent quality, procedures, and services. From a financial standpoint, United does not own any agencies, and through agent statements, pays individual agents for the services they provide to the van line as a whole.

While there are other agents for United in Alaska, Continental provides decades of experience in managing the Alaska moving process.  From its offices in Seattle, Tacoma, and Anchorage, Continental provides a complete Alaska Moving solution.

If you are looking for an Anchorage local mover, Continental provides that service too!  Since it is also a family owned moving company, it provides competitively priced services, with the assurance that only a company like Continental provides the quality that only an agent for United Van Lines can offier.
