Port-to-Port: The Cheapest Option
If you can drive your car to Long Beach Port or Oakland Port yourself, port-to-port saves you $400–$600 versus door-to-port. Long Beach serves most states; Oakland is closer for the Pacific Northwest and saves a day of overland transit.
Door-to-Port: Next Cheapest
We dispatch a licensed carrier to your address in any state. Your car is delivered to the port, loaded, and we send you the Matson booking number. Rates start at $2,280+ depending on your pickup state. Worth it if you're not near Long Beach or Oakland.
What to Avoid
Brokered quotes that look cheap often exclude Port handling fees, USDA inspection fees, or ocean freight surcharges. Our prices are all-inclusive — no surprises at pickup.
The Deposit Structure
K’AI self-service booking fees are $100 port-to-port and $300 for door service; standard fees are $150 and $500. Both are applied to the total — never added on top. The deposit locks your Matson sailing date.
