Hawaii Shipping Information

  1. All cars must be in running condition, with no cracked or damaged windows/windshields, and an operable emergency brake. An inoperable car will be stored at the port until repaired, during which time storage charges will accrue.

  2. All cars must be completely empty (except factory installed equipment), contain no more than ¼ tank of gas, and all keys must accompany the vehicle.

  3. We need a Hawaiian contact (including name, address, and phone number) in order to ship the vehicle. Contact will be notified when the car arrives in Hawaii.

  4. There are no reservations available. It is a “first come- first served” policy at the port. Actual shipping time from California to Hawaii is approximately one to two weeks. During the summer months, delays of one to three weeks may occur.

  5. When your vehicle is loaded on a vessel, a “Notice of Arrival” is mailed to the consignee’s address. It will indicate when the car will be available for pick up.

  6. Your car is covered by insurance of $1000 per 40 cubic feet (approximately $10,000) while on the ship. You may purchase additional marine insurance by contacting a private insurance agency.

  7. Your car is shipped below deck, not containerized on a roll on/roll off auto liner. Your car is not exposed to the elements.

  8. If you are shipping FROM Hawaii to the mainland, the State of Hawaii requires proof of ownership when the vehicle is delivered to the port. Thus, you must bring with the vehicle a certificate of ownership and a current certificate of registration. If someone other than the registered owner is shipping the automobile, they must have a letter of authorization from the registered owner and a current certificate of registration. Lastly, if there is a lien holder named on the registration, a letter from the lien holder authorizing shipment from Hawaii is required.

  9. Full VIN number attached to the order for you fill out for verification purposes.

  10. Full payment must be made by check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover in advance of shipment.

  11. Our shipping rates are the same for all passenger automobiles, including vehicles commonly known as station wagons, limousines, passenger vans, pick-up trucks or other small trucks. These rates do not apply to any vehicle exceeding
    21'8" L x 8' W x 7' H, or vehicles which have built-in accommodations for
    cooking or sleeping.
