How to Save on Car Shipping in Hawaii

While professional auto shipping provides convenience and assurance, we know it's an investment. Here are tips for reducing costs when shipping to/from Hawaii:

  • Compare rates between open car shipping and enclosed car shipping. Open transport is more affordable for most vehicles.
  • Be flexible on exact pickup/delivery dates when possible. Mid-week shipping is often cheaper.
  • Select port-to-port shipping if feasible for the lowest costs.
  • Ask about Seasonal Specials when getting a quote to maximize savings.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Hawaii Car Transportation

Proper preparation before shipping prevents damage in transit. Follow these tips from RoadRunner Auto Transport when getting your car ready:

  • Clean out the vehicle completely, removing any personal items. RoadRunner is not liable for belongings left inside.
  • Refer to this guide if shipping car with stuff inside.
  • Check fluid levels for battery, gas, oil, and coolant. Top off if needed to avoid strain during transport.
  • Disable your alarm system and provide any anti-theft passcodes to the driver as required.
  • Document exterior condition with detailed photos/video before shipping.
  • Remove convertible tops as necessary for open car shipping. Confirm with your agent.

Receiving Your Vehicle in Hawaii

Once your car shipped with RoadRunner arrives safely at its destination in Hawaii, follow these tips for delivery:

Inspection for New Damage or Missing Belongings

Inspect your vehicle before signing any paperwork. Check for new scrapes, scratches, dents, or damage that may have occurred during transport. If shipping your personal car, check the trunk, glove compartment, and interior to confirm that any belongings or spare tires are still in place. If needed, notify the driver and RoadRunner to start a claim.

Signing Delivery Paperwork

Review the bill of lading, take an odometer reading, and sign confirming you've received the vehicle in satisfactory condition without new damage or missing personal items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the vehicle transportation process.


Yes, we can ship vehicles that are in non-running/inoperable condition. When inoperable cars are shipped, a special auto carrier is required that makes use of a winch which is connected to your car and slowly and safely pulls your vehicle onto the carrier. There is an additional fee for inoperable vehicles because of the special equipment and extra work involved with securing the vehicle onto the transporter. You can select the inoperable option on the online booking form or inform your shipping agent if you make your reservation by phone so that the proper arrangements can be made to accommodate a non-running vehicle.

We offer open car shipping and enclosed transport services services. Open car shipping is used much more frequently and is the type of auto transport that you see on the highway where carriers are hauling vehicles on two decks that are exposed. Enclosed transport services are when your vehicle is shipped in a trailer which has walls and a roof, they look like a larger version of a regular eighteen-wheeler. This method is recommended for luxury, exotic or classic cars.

Make sure your car has been completely cleaned, both inside and outside. This is particularly important because this will help the driver conduct their inspection in order to assess any pre-existing damage on your vehicle. You will also want to make there are no additional personal items in the vehicle unless you intend to ship those with the vehicle (remember those items must total less than 100 pounds combined and be kept below the window-line of the vehicle). Be sure to inform the driver of any special circumstances concerning the vehicle. Finally, make sure there is a quarter tank of gas in the car at the time it is picked up for shipment. Visit our car shipping checklist to make sure you are prepared for your vehicle shipment.

Yes, we can ship vehicles of any size through our advanced network of specialized carriers nationwide. Call for a specialized rate quote based on the dimensions of the oversized vehicle you would like to ship. Our online quote calculator will not be able to generate a quote for you because pricing via the calculator is based only on standard and unmodified vehicle sizes and specifications.

Yes, however any vehicle with clearance lower than 4 inches will likely need to be shipped on an enclosed trailer with a lift gate. Low-clearance vehicles simply cannot be driven onto an open trailer because the car would risk bottoming out while being loaded onto the carrier.

To get a quote for shipping your vehicle, you can either use our instant online car shipping quote calculator or you can call (888) 422-7584 to receive a quote from one of our car transport pricing specialists. To calculate your quote we will need to know the location you are shipping from and to, the type of vehicle you would like to ship, and the date your vehicle will be ready.

When determining your car shipping cost, there are a few factors that we take into account in order to provide you with an accurate price quote. The mileage between the origin and destination is the biggest factor that contributes to your total rate. In addition to the distance of your relocation, another factor is the type and condition of the vehicle being shipped. The final factor is the date that your vehicle will be ready for transport. There are also additional options, such as enclosed carrier and top-load service that can be added to your shipment at the time of booking for a higher level of service.
