Delaware to Hawaii Car Shipping and Hawaii to Delaware Auto Transport                 Services We Offer              Open Transport Enclosed Transport RORO Exclusive Containers Door-to-Door Door-to-Port Trailer Boat RV Heavy Equipment Documentation Clearance

Our reliable vehicle shipping service is one the fastest and competitively-priced that you will find.  If you are moving, relocating, or just need to ship a car to Hawaii, you can depend on our experienced staff to assist you every step of the way.  We need a 3-5 day window to pick up the vehicle, and 10-14 days to delivery the vehicle to the port in Long Beach, California.  We offer open or enclosed auto transport to the port. Once loaded onto the vessel, the ocean time is approximately five days on the water.

All vehicles and freight are offloaded at the Port of Honolulu first.  All freight and vehicles going to neighboring islands will be barged over, taking an additional 5-7 days.  We offer door-to-door and door-to-port 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 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' or 40' container is determined by miles from the vehicle location and back to the port.  We have bi-weekly departures out of Oakland, CA and Seattle, WA, and weekly departures out of Long Beach, 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.
