How do I ship a car to or from Hawaii?
Shipping a vehicle to Hawaii from the mainland, or from the mainland to Hawaii, is easier than you think. We can tailor a service that meets your needs and suits your budget. Our service is door-to-port and then port-to-port. We arrange for your vehicle to be picked up from a preferred location and delivered to a Hawaiian port of your choosing.
How long does it take to ship a car to or from Hawaii?
The amount of time it takes to ship a vehicle to Hawaii from the mainland, or from the mainland to Hawaii, depends on the pick-up and delivery locations. A vehicle that needs to be shipped from South Carolina, for example, will take longer than a car shipped from California to Hawaii. Our goal is to make the service as swift as possible.

Prepare your vehicle
It’s easy to ship a vehicle from Hawaii, but if you want the experience to run smoothly, there’s certain documentation you need to provide. The list includes:
- Ownership documentation: A copy of the title or ownership document of the vehicle must be presented. If the vehicle is still under a Lien, you may need a letter of permission from the bank or dealership, confirming you’re allowed to ship it.
- Registration and insurance: Valid registration and insurance documentation must be provided.
- Identification: You must provide a valid picture ID or identification card, along with your booking reservation number. If you’re unable to be present, proof of a power of attorney from the owner allowing it to be shipped has to be shown.
- You must also prepare your vehicle for shipping: This includes removing all personal items, running the gas tank down to at least one quarter full, cleaning the interior and exterior, checking your vehicle is in an operable condition, and disconnecting all alarms.

Prepare your vehicle
When shipping a vehicle to Hawaii, you need to provide the current title and registration, a notarized letter of authorization from any non-present part and a valid ID in order to pick up your car from the port in Hawaii. There are, however, several things you can do to prepare your vehicle for its journey. The list includes:
- Removing personal items: All personal items must be removed from the vehicle before shipping it to Hawaii. You are, however, allowed to have a spare tire, a jack, jumper cables, floor mats, and infant car seats in the car when it’s shipped.
- Fuel: The gas tank has to be run down to a maximum of one quarter full.
- Clean the interior and exterior: If you do this you’re able to closely examine the condition of your car, documenting any dents, scratches, or dings for future reference.
- Vehicle checks: A vehicle being shipped to Hawaii has to be in an operable condition. There must be no leaking fluids, the emergency brake must be operational, the windows must be intact, and the wheels move.
- Alarms: All alarms must be disconnected.
