Our Hawaii Car Shipping Services

At Ghost Pepper Logistics, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch Hawaii car shipping services at competitive prices. Our team will ensure your car is shipped in the most reliable and protected conditions. Some of the Hawaii car shipping services we offer include:

Door-to-Port

We’ll come to the address you provide us when placing your order. Our fully insured and licensed drivers will pick up your car at home or the office and safely deliver it to the port. Depending on the pickup location, the vehicle will be loaded on a car carrier and transported to the port of departure on the island. After the vehicle arrives at the port and is loaded onto the ship, the car must be picked up by the contact provided in the destination port.

Port-to-Door

When it’s time to leave the islands and move back home, you’ll take your vehicle to the port, where we’ll load it onto the ship. Your vehicle will be protected from salt water and outside elements and transported to one of our mainland ports. Once the ship arrives in the mainland port, we assign a transporter to pick up and deliver the car directly to your front door at your home or office. Again, you’ll be asked for the same information to receive your vehicle as you were in Hawaii.

Port-to-Port

Dropping your vehicle off at your nearest port is a low-cost and affordable car shipping option for those who reside near the west coast. However, this option may not be helpful for those living on the east coast or the other side of the country or people looking to ship to or from the mainland to Hawaii.

Dropping your vehicle off at your nearest port is a low-cost and affordable car shipping option for those who reside near the west coast. However, this option may not be helpful for those living on the east coast or the other side of the country or people looking to ship to or from the mainland to Hawaii.

Prepare your vehicle

You need to provide a copy of the current registration, updated title, a notarized letter of authorization from any non-present part if the vehicle is jointly owned, and a copy of your car key, insurance, safety check, and a valid ID to pick up your car when shipping a vehicle to and from Hawaii. Also, there are other things you must do to prepare your vehicle for shipping. The list includes:

Removing personal items: All your items must be removed from the vehicle before shipping to Hawaii, including CDs, equalizers, tapes, power boosts, auto covers, additional speakers- amplifiers, extra market accessories such as toll devices, and more. However, you can have a jack, a spare tire, floor mats, and jumper cables in the car when it’s shipped.

Switch off the car alarm: You will need to disable the car alarm because the engine will not be running during transit. Outside factors, such as vibrations, wind, or noise, may trigger the vehicle’s alarm, which could endanger the team shipping the car.

Fuel: The gas tank must be at least one-quarter full. Fully charge the battery for electric vehicles.

Clean the exterior and interior: Clean the car and examine its condition. Document any scratches, dents, or dings for reference.

Vehicle checks: A vehicle shipped to Hawaii must be operable. There must be no signs of leaking fluids, the wheels must move, the windows must be intact, and the emergency brake must function.

Pick up

After you prepare your vehicle, we can pick it up at the port or anywhere in the United States. You can contact us anytime during transportation for a tracking update.

Arrival

Once the car arrives, our team of experts will inspect your vehicle when it is unloaded from the ship to determine its current state. You will be informed when your car is ready for pickup. Sign your bill of lading and inspection report to get your vehicle.

How much does it cost to ship to or from Hawaii?

The shipping cost from your state to the port and from the port to Hawaii will determine the cost of shipping a car to or from Hawaii. The shipping price depends on different factors, such as:

Vehicle size: The size of a vehicle will impact the cost. Ghost Pepper Logistics has experience in every type of vehicle, including cars, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, and commercial equipment. However, compared to standard cars, SUVs and commercial equipment are more expensive to move.

Shipping distance: The longer the distance between your departure and destination ports, the more costly your shipment.

Location: Your destination in Hawaii can influence the cost of your shipping. For instance, moving to large cities such as Honolulu, Hilo, Pearl City, Kailua, and Waipahu costs less than moving to smaller towns or rural areas.

Door-to-door or port-to-port delivery: We can deliver your car from the port to your desired location, but this will cost you more money than dropping off and picking up your vehicle at the port.

Enclosed or open transport: An enclosed container offers more protection from the outside elements than an open container but is more expensive. 

Season: Car shipping is a seasonal business. Summer is the most expensive time to ship your car because demand is at its peak.

Shipping Container: There are two types of shipping containers when moving to Hawaii. A private container is the most expensive way to ship a vehicle because your car will have an entire container. Regular container involves placing your car in a container with other vehicles.

Regarding shipping a car to Hawaii, we are sorry to inform you that the law does not permit personal items to be put inside the vehicle. The car will be inspected at the port to ensure it’s free of all personal items. However, you are allowed only to have a spare tire, jumper cables, jack, and first aid kit. Any personal items found inside the car will cause a delay in shipment and make it difficult to recover later.

The time it takes to ship a car to or from Hawaii depends on several factors. Therefore, talking to one of our experts is crucial to ensure you get quoted at the correct time. If you are on the mainland, it will depend on when your car is ready for pick up and how long it will take to get to the port. Again, get in touch with our customer service representative to get an estimated ship and arrival date.

Yes. We transport luxurious, exotic, or classic cars, but they require caution. If you need land transport along with maritime car shipping, it’s essential to choose the best options to move your vehicle, and you need to be aware of the car safety precautions.

The farther in advance, you book your car shipping, the more likely we will be able to meet your time requirements. Schedule your shipping at least 2-3 weeks in advance for best results.
