If you are moving, relocating, or just need to ship your vehicle from Alabama to Hawaii, you will find that Transport Hawaii is one of the best and fastest auto transporters around today. We ship from Alabama to Hawaii, and from Hawaii to Alabama every week. Our trucks can pick up your vehicle and deliver it to the closest port to you (Long Beach, CA). All vehicles shipping to Hawaii go to the island of Honolulu first, and then barged over to the neighboring islands.

Only the ports of Seattle, WA., Oakland, CA., and Long Beach, CA. ship vehicles to Hawaii.  We offer weekly and bi-weekly departures. Each ports' departure schedules are different.  We offer door-to-port or port-to-port service. We need a 3-5 day window to pick up the vehicle.  Once loaded on the car carrier, delivery time is approximately 7-10 days.  The ships offers RORO, 20ft, and 40ft container service.

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 our terminal operations, occasionally vehicles are loaded into closed containers.

If you want to guarantee your own container you have to order one. The cost of a 20' and 40' container is determined by miles from the vehicle location and back to the port. Please visit our home page for more details. If we can assist you further please call our toll free number 866-498-2366.
