Option for Auto Transport to/from Honolulu

As Honolulu is an island the only way to transport a vehicle there is by ship or air freight.

• Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) service: This shipping method is suitable for any operating vehicle. You just drive your vintage automobile onto the ship, and when it comes, drive it off. The car is strapped to the deck once it has been hauled into the ship to make sure it is securely fastened and does not move while being transported.
• Enclosed container shipping. is preferred by many owners of luxury automobiles because it provides added protection. Containers are put into the ship, and when they arrive at their destination, a crane will unload them. It is thought to be the safest and quickest shipping method, although being more expensive.
• Terminal to Terminal Car Shipping: You can lower your transportation cost by driving your car to a nearby terminal. There, it will be inspected by our Hawaii car shipping experts and transported to a terminal near your desired destination

You can speed up your move by paying attention to the following information:

• In order to ship a vehicle, it must be in working condition. Moreover, it must be licensed or qualified to operate on public roads and have a functioning emergency brake.
• Don’t Fuel Up: Only 1/4 tank of fuel is allowed.
• Electric vehicles: The battery must be charged between 45% and 50%. The vehicle will be rejected otherwise.
• Ensure that your vehicle must be empty. Automobiles can only carry tools and accessories installed on or attached to the vehicle. For example if not bolted in, remove the following items
  

  Loose radios and Extra Speakers	CD's and radar scanners	Power boosters and equalizers
  Tape players and tapes	Decorative ornaments	Auto roof racks if not factory installed
  Compact disc players and discs	Auto protective covers/auto bras	Car alarms should be turned off before shipping if you leave them in
  Portable telephones of any type	Truck tailgate nets	Any peripherals or accessories not permanently attached to the vehicle

• Ensure the windshield and windows are not cracked or damaged.
• Keep your vehicle clean for a quick inspection. Dirty vehicles will not be accepted.
• Replenish Antifreeze: Cars shipped between Seattle and Hawaii in the fall and winter need antifreeze.
• Remove fire extinguishers. The federal government doesn’t allow the shipment of fire extinguishers.
• Empty Auxiliary Propane Tanks: Vehicles equipped with propane tanks for auxiliary purposes should be delivered with empty propane tanks. Empty propane tanks must be certified with “gas-free” tags by a propane dealer or service company.
• Please leave a set of keys for the ignition, trunk door, gas tank, and any other locking compartments. During an inspection, the Department of Agriculture checks all compartments of your vehicle.  Your vehicle may be delayed if you fail to do this.
