Mississippi to Hawaii Auto Transport
How Much Does It Cost for Auto Transport from Mississippi to Hawaii?
Mississippi is located in the southeastern region of the United States. On the other hand, Hawaii sits in the central Pacific Ocean, about 2,000 miles from the coast of the continental United States. It is an island state, so it does not share a border with other states. Having said this, it would be necessary to transport the vehicle over water to get to Hawaii. The shipping cost would therefore be largely determined by the shipping methods and the total distance.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Ship?
The open-carrier transport is the most used method in domestic hauls. It is also the least expensive. In this case, however, the pick-up and drop-off points are significantly far from each other that it would take days to transport the vehicle. So, it is strongly advised to have an enclosed shipment method, instead. As the name suggests, the vehicle will be transported via a trailer with a roof, which will protect the vehicle from potential harm during the long journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mississippi to Hawaii auto transport and how does it work?
Mississippi to Hawaii auto transport combines domestic trucking from your Mississippi pickup address to a West Coast port, followed by roll-on/roll-off or container shipping to Hawaii. The process includes vehicle inspection, booking verification, and loading based on carrier schedules. It’s commonly used for relocations, military PCS moves, and long-distance transfers to Oahu, Maui, or the Big Island.
How much are Mississippi to Hawaii auto transport costs?
Most Mississippi to Hawaii auto transport costs range $1,600–$2,600, depending on pickup distance, vehicle size, and current ocean freight demand. Diesel pricing and seasonal carrier congestion also affect rates. For accurate pricing, you can request a rate quote that reflects the trucking and ocean segments together.
Which shipping method is best for moving a car from Mississippi to Hawaii?
Roll-on/roll-off service is usually the most affordable option for shipping a car from Mississippi to Hawaii, while container service is better for luxury, modified, or low-clearance vehicles. Your decision depends on protection level, timing, and budget. To compare options, review roll-on roll-off shipping information at roll-on roll-off shipping information before booking.
Can I ship to Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island from Mississippi?
Yes. Cars from Mississippi are transported to Los Angeles, Long Beach, or Oakland, then shipped to Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului (Maui), Nawiliwili (Kauai), or Kona. Some islands require secondary transfers from Honolulu, which may adjust final transit times. For island-to-island logistics, carriers also support inter-island car shipping.
What documents do I need for Mississippi to Hawaii auto transport?
You’ll need a valid photo ID, active vehicle registration, proof of ownership, and your ocean booking confirmation. If someone else drops off or picks up your car, carriers may require a notarized authorization. Your vehicle must be clean, operable, and free of personal items to clear both Mississippi and Hawaii port inspections.
