Which Hauling Method Is the Most Cost-Effective?
Shifting from Hawaii to Florida does not have to be incredibly costly. You can be confident that your vehicle will arrive securely and on schedule at your location when you use open-carrier transportation. It is also the most cost-effective way to ship your vehicle. Your vehicle will be put into the exposed truck bed of a carrier or trailer and transported as safely as possible to its final destination. The enclosed transportation option is significantly safer, although it is more expensive than the open carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping a car from Hawaii to Florida typically takes between 7 and 14 days, depending on factors such as the departure island, vessel schedules, port processing times, and your exact delivery location in Florida. Weather and demand can also influence transit time.
What is the average cost to ship a vehicle from Hawaii to the mainland?
The cost usually ranges between $1,500 to $2,500, depending on the type of vehicle, the island it’s coming from, the shipping method (port-to-port or door-to-door), and seasonal demand. Larger SUVs or trucks may cost more due to their size and weight.
Is my car insured during transportation from Hawaii to Florida?
Yes, every shipment includes transport insurance coverage. Your car will be protected against damage or loss while in transit. It's a good idea to check with the carrier about coverage limits and whether you need supplemental insurance.
Can I leave items in my car during transport?
Most carriers allow up to 100 pounds of personal belongings in the trunk; however, it’s best to confirm this ahead of time. Loose items should be secured, and valuables or fragile belongings should not be left in the vehicle during shipment.
What type of transport is used to move a car between Hawaii and Florida?
Your vehicle will be shipped via ocean freight between Hawaii and the West Coast, then transported by a car carrier truck to your Florida destination. A combination of containerized or RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) service and overland transport is commonly used.
Do I need to be present at pickup or delivery?
Yes, either you or a designated person must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the condition report. If you can't be there, you can authorize someone else to act on your behalf.
What documents are required to ship my car from Hawaii?
You’ll typically need the vehicle registration, photo ID, and a proof of ownership (like the title or lienholder authorization). If you’re not the registered owner, additional paperwork may be required.
Can I ship my car if it’s not running?
Yes, inoperable vehicles can be shipped, but you must inform the carrier in advance. Special equipment is required to load non-running cars, and an additional fee may be charged for handling.
Are there any vehicle preparation steps before shipping?
You should clean your vehicle, remove personal items, disable alarm systems, and ensure the gas tank is no more than a quarter full. Also, take dated photos of the car to document its condition prior to shipping.
