About shipping cars to and from Hawaii
Whipshipper moves cars in and out of Hawaii every week. We pick up at your door and deliver to wherever your car is going, whether that is one town over or all the way across the country.
Hawaii shipping uses ocean freight out of Long Beach or Oakland with Matson or Pasha to Honolulu, then inter island for Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. We handle the mainland trucking to the port and book the sailing. Total door to door usually runs 14 to 28 days.
Popular lanes from Hawaii include Hawaii to California, Hawaii to Texas, Hawaii to Florida. We also handle inbound moves from those same regions every day.
Why ship with Whipshipper in Hawaii
Door to door service, live carrier GPS, and a $99 deposit that locks the rate.
Door to door pickup
We send a carrier to your address in Hawaii (or as close as the truck can legally park) and deliver to the same kind of address at the destination.
Live carrier GPS
Once your car is loaded you get a tracking link with the truck's live location, updated every minute. No more calling the driver for status.
$99 deposit locks the rate
Your quoted price is your final price. The $99 deposit holds the carrier on your dates. Balance due to the driver on delivery.
Open and enclosed options
Open transport is the budget standard. Enclosed transport adds full weather and road protection for classics, exotics, and high value cars.
Insured every mile
Every carrier on our load board carries cargo insurance. We verify it on every dispatch and provide proof of coverage at pickup.
Real humans on the phone
Call (800) 227-7472 and you get a real Whipshipper coordinator, not a call center. We work the load board on your behalf until your car is moving.
