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.
