The Estimated Distance and Most Probable Time of Delivery
Shipping between Pennsylvania and Hawaii or from one state to another may require different shipping times, depending on the distance, weather, and shipping method you select. Pennsylvania is over 4,730 miles away from Hawaii, so shipping a car from one to the other takes 7-9 days.
The Most Affordable Method to Transport a Car
Open-air trailers are the most economically feasible for transporting vehicles from Pennsylvania to Hawaii. Shipping costs can be further reduced when multiple vehicles are shipped at the same time. This method of transportation is cost-effective, yet it poses too many risks for it to be considered a safe one.
The enclosed shipping method is generally perceived to provide a higher level of security than open shipping methods. Enclosed trailers are designed specifically for this purpose to provide maximum protection to your vehicle. The main drawback of this service is the high cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required to ship a car from Pennsylvania to Hawaii?
You must provide a valid photo ID, original vehicle title, current registration, and a signed Power of Attorney if someone else is dropping off the vehicle. Hawaii ports require a clean, soil-free undercarriage, and all personal items must be removed. If your vehicle has a lien, your lender may require written consent before shipping. For additional guidance on paperwork and release requirements, review our nationwide auto transport rules and regulations.
How much does Pennsylvania to Hawaii auto transport typically cost?
Shipping a standard vehicle from Pennsylvania to Hawaii usually ranges from $1,800 to $2,700, influenced by distance to the departure port, vessel schedules, vehicle size, and seasonal market demand. Inland trucking often represents the largest cost variation. To understand how carriers calculate multi-leg pricing and mileage-based charges, visit our car shipping rates page.
How long does it take to ship a car from Pennsylvania to Hawaii?
End-to-end transit usually takes 10–21 days, including 3–7 days for Pennsylvania pickup and 7–14 days for ocean transport. Timelines vary based on vessel frequency, distance from rural parts of Pennsylvania, and port congestion in Hawaii. Booking one to two weeks ahead helps secure preferred carrier schedules.
Can I ship an inoperable vehicle from Pennsylvania to Hawaii?
Yes. Inoperable cars can ship as long as they can roll, steer, and brake for safe port handling. These vehicles require winch-equipped carriers and may incur additional fees for both the Pennsylvania pickup and port loading in Hawaii. To see how non-running vehicles are handled on land transport legs, review our inoperable auto transport guide.
Is enclosed transport available for the Pennsylvania to Hawaii route?
Enclosed transport is available for the Pennsylvania-to-port segment, protecting classic, luxury, or performance vehicles from weather and road debris before ocean loading. Once at the port, vehicles move by standard vessel service to Hawaii. For information on safeguarding high-value vehicles, see our luxury car transport guide.
