What are options for Hawaii auto transport near me?

While port-to-port service is reliable, many of our customers choose door-to-port or port-to-door service for added convenience. With a nationwide carrier network, Brightway can arrange transport from your home or office to the nearest mainland port—or from a Hawaii port to your mainland destination.

Once loaded, your vehicle is stored underneath the ship’s deck, safe and protected. To get it to or from the port, you can choose between open or enclosed car shipping.

Brightway offers top-notch Hawaii auto transport services

Cost to ship a car to/from Hawaii

The cost to ship a car to Hawaii is calculated somewhat differently than the cost to ship a car across the country. You'll probably need ground transport in addition to sea transport. But here's the good news! When you work with an auto transport management company like Brightway, the process of scheduling your shipment will be quick and easy.

Ship a car to/from California to Hawaii

Shipping your vehicle to Hawaii from California and vice versa is less complicated than you may think. The key is selecting an auto transport provider with experience arranging door-to-port, port-to-door, and port-to-port auto transport. Brightway can safely get your vehicle to or from Hawaii, while delivering peace of mind.

Ship a car to/from LA to Hawaii

Ship a car to/from Seattle to Hawaii

When shipping a car from Hawaii to Seattle, you'll have to pick your car up from the port, which isn't the case when you're shipping a car to Hawaii from Seattle. The key is to find a vehicle transport company with years of experience shipping to and from the Hawaiian islands, like Brightway!


5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Hawaii

  • Hawaii does not have a statewide Department of Motor Vehicles, so if you're shipping a vehicle to the islands you'll have to register it in your county.
  • Good news: there are no toll roads in Hawaii. However, if your vehicle is leaving the U.S. mainland, be sure to remove any toll transponders before transport to avoid incurring potential fees during transit.
  • If you and your vehicle are new residents of Hawaii or are planning a long visit, keep this guide handy to see upcoming news and events.
  • Before bringing a member of your furry family to Hawaii, we recommend that you research the quarantine procedures and laws relating to shipping a pet.
  • If you're traveling from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland, here is some information regarding transporting your pets.
