I was very hesitant about using any company to ship my car. I never had to do this and was not knowledgeable about the process. I had a quote from five different companies. Some higher and some lower. However, I decided to go with SGT Auto Transport based on their customer service. The process was easy and efficient. They explained the process would take about 4-6 days. I was shocked my car was shipped from California to Maryland in literally 4 days. And the driver was so polite. No extra/unexplained charges. No worries. If I ever need to ship a car again, the only company I am going with is SGT Auto Transport. Thank you

What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car From Hawaii to Mainland?

Many of the factors that affect the cost of overland auto transport have less of an impact on shipping costs between Hawaii and the mainland. However, rates still vary based on factors that include:

Vehicle size: Generally speaking, the larger a vehicle is, the more it will cost to ship from Hawaii to the mainland. Since vehicles are loaded onto cargo ships, cars that are especially large may cost significantly more than standard vehicles.

Time of year: Rates from Hawaii and mainland car shipping companies are subject to seasonal demand. Costs tend to be higher in summer and winter months than at other times of the year.

Port locations: The distance between shipping ports is a major factor in auto transport costs, with costs going up the further your vehicle needs to travel. 

Overland travel: If your vehicle needs to be shipped to another location after reaching the destination port on the mainland, you’ll have to pay for that transport service in addition.

Discounts: We offer car shipping discounts to active and reserve members of the US military as well as to first responders shipping cars from Hawaii to the mainland.

How long does it take to Ship a Car from Hawaii to Mainland?

On average, it takes between nine and 45 days to transport a vehicle from Hawaii to the US mainland. Shipping times between the islands and the mainland vary much more than transport times for overland shipments. There are a few reasons why this is the case, including:

  • Distance: Transport time depends first and foremost on how far a ship needs to travel. Shipping to ports on the east coast, for example, takes substantially longer than shipments going to the west coast of the continental US.
  • Weather: Typhoons, strong winds, rough seas, and other forces of nature can significantly delay car shipping times from Hawaii to the mainland.
  • Port traffic: When ports get busy with lots of container traffic, ships may have to wait longer than expected to dock and unload.
  • Processing times: Cargo ships are subject to routine inspection when leaving Hawaii and when arriving on the mainland. Staffing issues and other problems may slow down processing times at one or both ports. 

How much does car transport Hawaii to Mainland cost?

When calculating the cost of auto transport, car shipping companies in Hawaii to Mainland consider several things. The key factor is how far you want to ship your vehicle, closely followed by the type of vehicle you want to ship. The following factors also make a difference in the cost of car shipping services.

Useful Tips for Car Shipping from and to Hawaii to Mainland

Transporting your vehicle from Hawaii to the mainland has a few extra steps to the process compared to overland shipments. There are a few things you can do to ensure things go smoothly, including:

Top 8 hints for transporting/moving to this state

Don’t pack any cargo: While you can usually pack some cargo into your trunk when shipping your car on land, doing so is forbidden when putting your car on a container ship. Make sure your car is completely clear of loose items before pickup.

You’ll need some extra paperwork: When your vehicle travels through a port, you’ll need to provide proof that you own it or are an authorized user. If you own the vehicle outright, place copies of the title and registration inside and let the shipper know where you put them. If you lease or finance the vehicle, you’ll need a notarized letter from the lien holder authorizing you to transport it. 

You need to pick your car up in person or authorize us to do it: Port authorities on the mainland can only release a vehicle to its owner or an authorized user. If you can’t pick your vehicle up in person at the port, we can help you authorize someone from our mainland car shipping company to collect it for you.

Your vehicle will be inspected: Authorities at one or both ports will likely inspect your car for unauthorized cargo or illicit goods. Make sure you clean your car thoroughly before dropping it off to prevent any potential issues during inspection.
