How Hawaii Car Transportation Works

We collect your vehicle, prepare it for ocean transit (wash, drain fuel to 1/4 tank), and ship via Matson or Pasha. At arrival, we clear customs and deliver to your Oahu address or neighbor island port. Full documentation handled by our team.

How Hawaii Car Transportation Works

Port Operations & Coordination

We partner with Honolulu, Kahului, and Hilo ports for priority unloading. Our agents file all ISF/PAPS paperwork pre-arrival, schedule inspections, and handle storage if needed. You’re updated at each milestone: vessel departure, customs clearance, and final delivery.

Hawaii pricing

What Hawaii car shipping actually costs

Hawaii rates are built from two separate legs: inland trucking to the mainland port, then the ocean crossing on a Jones Act qualifying vessel. Vehicle size drives the ocean leg more than distance does, which is why an SUV and a sedan on the same sailing are priced very differently.

Hawaii vehicle shipping — typical published ranges Ranges reflect West Coast port to Honolulu. Final pricing depends on origin, sailing date, vehicle condition and inland mileage.
Vehicle class Typical range What moves the number
Sedan / compact around $1,200 Lowest ocean footprint. Inland mileage to the port is usually the biggest variable.
SUV / pickup truck $1,800 – $2,500 Height and length raise the ocean rate. Roof racks and lift kits can push it higher.
Neighbor island delivery add-on Kahului, Hilo, Kawaihae, Nawiliwili and Port Allen price separately from Honolulu.
Inoperable vehicle add-on Winch or forklift loading at the terminal.

These are the ranges this page has published, not a quote. Ocean sailings are booked against published cutoffs, so the same vehicle can price differently depending on the sailing you catch. For a firm number tied to a real sailing date, request a quote with your origin ZIP and vehicle details.
