Dear
Linda,
I
wanted to take a moment to
thank you for doing such a
great job in shipping my
car. First, your kindness
and vast knowledge of the
car shipping industry
impressed me. I can't thank
you enough for working
around my schedule, and
making everything happen
seamlessly, and
expeditiously. My car had
arrived within three weeks,
where other companies had
projected three to five
weeks. I am so glad that I
was able to work with you,
and I would recommend you to
anyone I know. Thanks again
for everything!!

We have been providing Hawaii car
shipping for over thirteen years. Shipping a car

simple. Transport Hawaii is delighted to

offer door-to-port and

When it comes to car shipping to Hawaii, the standard
method of vehicle shipment is either in the

automobiles. However, at the discretion of
the terminal operations, occasionally vehicles
are loaded into closed containers.

Shipping Car to Hawaii in a Container
If you want to guarantee your own container you must order
one two weeks in advance. The cost of a 20'
or 40' 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.
