If you need to ship
a car from California to Hawaii or from
Hawaii to California, look no further.
For twelve years, we have been providing
fast and reliable auto shipping
services.
We offer
open or enclosed transport to the port.
We require a 1-3 day window for pickup.
Once loaded on the
car carrier, delivery time is
approximately one day. We will deliver
your vehicle to the closest port to you (Oakland, CA or
Long Beach, CA).
We provide
port-to-port and port-to-door service.
* Vessels to Hawaii
depart the Port of Long Beach every
Saturday.
To meet that
Saturday's departure, your vehicle must
be at the port no later than 2:00PM on Wednesday.
*
Vessels to
Hawaii depart from the Port of Oakland
every Thursday.
To meet
that Thursday's departure, your vehicle
must be at the port no later than 2:00PM
on Tuesday.
Vehicles are
loaded on the vessel on a first
come-first serve basis. Once loaded on the
vessel, the shipping time is approximately five days on
the water. All vehicles are
offloaded at the port of Honolulu,
taking 3-5 days.
If you are going to a neighboring
island, your vehicle will be barged over, taking an
additional three to five days.
We offer vehicle
flat racks, RORO, and 20' and 40'
exclusive container service.
The preferred method
of vehicle shipment is either in the
vessel garage or in specialized auto
frames. These frames are loaded in the
belly of the ship. 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 exclusive container you must
order one. The cost of a 20' or 40' container
is determined by miles from the vehicle
location and back to the port. We
have bi-weekly departures out of
Seattle, WA, and weekly
departures out of Long Beach, and
Oakland CA. Let
our Hawaii auto shipping experts assist
you with all of your Hawaii car shipping
needs. For more info, please see our
home page.
