Cars travel between Hawaii and the mainland by ocean carrier, usually through West Coast ports.
An ocean leg sets the schedule
Vehicles move by ocean carrier for part of the trip, so sailing dates, not truck availability, usually decide the timeline. Prices and transit times differ from mainland routes.
Nearby cities we cover
Pickup and delivery are usually easier to schedule near these cities.
Transport options
Every option below is available nationwide; the right one depends on the vehicle.
- Open Car Transport
The most common and affordable way to ship a car, on a multi-car carrier open to the air (also called open-air transport).

The driver picks up and delivers as close to your addresses as a large truck can safely reach.
