We have been providing Hawaii auto shipping services for over twelve years. Shipping your vehicle between Hawaii and the mainland is simple.  Transport Hawaii is delighted to offer you the most dependable service in the trade.   If you are moving to Hawaii, relocating to Hawaii, or just need to ship your car to Hawaii, we will tailor our services to meet your needs. We offer door-to-port and port-to-port service. We have weekly shipments from Long Beach, CA., and and bi-weekly shipments from Oakland, CA and Seattle, WA.  Vehicles shipping to Hawaii are shipped from the following U.S. ports only: Long Beach, CA., Oakland, CA., and Seattle, WA. 

We can transport your vehicle from any location in the U.S. to the closest port of departure.  We will provide you with an affordable auto shipping rate for either an open or enclosed auto transport to the port.  Our trucks can pick up your vehicle within three to five days in most cases.

                                   Hawaii Shipping Relocation Specialist

We move individuals, military personnel, private corporations, moving and relocation companies, and numerous car dealers nationwide. The preferred method of vehicle shipment is either in the vessel garage or in specialized auto frames. Containers are not generally loaded with automobiles.  However, at the discretion of the terminal operations, occasionally vehicles are loaded into closed containers.

If you want to guarantee your own container you must order one. The cost of a 20' container is determined by miles from the vehicle location and back to the port.  We have two methods of delivering containers.  The first method is a drop and pull, where the container is dropped off, and picked up ten days later.  The second option, is where the container is dropped off, and you have two hours to load the container.  The containers sit four feet off the ground.  We do not provide, ramps, strapping, or packing materials.  Once the container is delivered to the port, it is loaded on the vessel after check-in and space availability.
