The cost to ship a car to Hawaii depends on a few things:
Are you delivering your vehicle to a port yourself or do you need truck transport to a California Port?
In shipping a car to Hawaii long distance you will need to obtain truck transport from your point of origin.
If you are not delivering a car to a port yourself, you will need an auto transport carrier. We utilize a network of 2,500 carriers that will take your vehicle to the port of your choice.
We suggest a minimum 3-4 day window on the pickup side to ensure that your vehicle gets picked up in a timely fashion. Your vehicle will be dropped off at the port and will be available to be shipped the next sailing date (which could be in a few days).
Yale’s services include obtaining a qualified carrier for long distance transport, and obtaining ship transportation to or from Hawaii. We handle all paperwork and logistics for one low fee. We will utilize different carriers and shippers to suit your individual needs and concerns.
Once your vehicle is loaded on the ship, the trip to or from Hawaii typically takes 10-14 days port to port. Keep in mind that truck transport takes a day for every 500 miles traveled, plus 1 day at origin and destination locations for loading and unloading vehicles.
You have your choice in ground transport of two types of shipping.
Open Carrier
This type of transport is suggested for the vast majority of customers. Over millions of miles traveled, it has proven to be entirely safe, and the least expensive and safest way of shipping a vehicle
Enclosed Carrier
These carriers are used by people who have restored classic vehicles, expensive exotics, or costly custom paint jobs. They are typically $250 to $300 more than an open carrier.

Cars are dropped off at the closest California Port by the carrier (driver), and will be placed on the next ship for transport to Hawaii.
