Options When Considering Shipping to Hawaii

Before getting too ahead, let's consider the length of your trip in Hawaii and how much you will be using your car.

For example, are you going for a two-week vacation to a resort? You simply won’t require a car. However, if you're going for a couple of months and adventures around the island are a must-do, chances are you’ll want a car, and renting is your best bet — though the tricky thing with rentals is the surge in prices due to shortages.

If you're relocating, moving for college or planning on spending a lot of time in Hawaii and you own a car of value, it makes the most sense to ship your car.

Drive Your Own Car To The Port

If you are looking to save some money on shipping, one of the cheapest ways is to get your car to a port (normally they’re all in California) where we can arrange for one of our qualified carriers and drivers to meet you and take it off your hands before putting in on what is called a RORO ship, or a roll on, roll off ship.

This could be a good option if you reside somewhere that is within striking distance of a port, such as San Diego or San Francisco. However, if you live further than a few hours, we do not recommend this, especially if you are traveling across the country from the East coast.

There is plenty of research that driving your own vehicle long distances is not only not very safe, but it will incur a ton of additional, unnecessary costs for hotels, gas, food, and other prices along the way. Plus, in doing this, you run the risk of adding undo wear and tear to your vehicle and ticking up the car's miles like crazy.
