How Long Does it Take to Ship a Car to Hawaii?
Thinking of shipping a car from the mainland to Hawaii? You should be aware of transit times. In general, it takes longer to ship a car to Hawaii from the East Coast of the mainland United States than from the West Coast. Transit times also depend on the location of the destination port.
When shipping your car from Miami to Honolulu, for example, it can take between 14 and 21 days for your car to arrive at its destination. Meanwhile, it takes between 9 and 17 days to get your car from Houston to Hilo.
When you need a car shipped to remote states like Hawaii, make the smart decision and call us. We have vast experience shipping cars to this gorgeous U.S. state known for its volcanoes, ancient cultures, rich cuisine, and lush landscapes. Honolulu is the capital, and it happens to be one of the most popular ports we ship cars to.
The shipping option you choose also affects time.
Here’s a look at what’s available to you:
RORO Shipping
RoRo shipping: This is the most popular mid-range cost option, reserved for when your vehicle is operable and can make it onto the ship on its own.
Air Freight
Air freight: Usually, people shipping cars to auto shows choose this option, but this is the most expensive choice. However, your transit time is reduced to hours or a couple of days as opposed to two or more weeks.
Container Shipping
Container shipping: We can put it in a container and your car will share space with up to five other cars, reserved for when your vehicle is unable to make it onto the ship of its own power.
