A vehicle that needs to be shipped from North or South Carolina, for example, is going to take longer than shipping a car to Hawaii from California.

- 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.
