How We Ship Cars from Hawaii to Arizona
Shipping FROM Hawaii is the documented direction — five documents are required at the port, and missing one can push you past your sailing. The flip side is worth knowing: shipping TO Hawaii needs no documents at all — one of the reasons customers ship with us in both directions. We manage the paperwork checklist, your Matson booking, and 2–3 days of overland delivery from Long Beach to your Arizona address.
Email your documents (24h before drop-off)
We confirm your paperwork is complete and email copies to the port so gate check-in is smooth.
Drop off at Honolulu (Sand Island)
Quarter tank or less, original photo ID at the gate. Neighbor island? We arrange the barge from Kahului, Nawiliwili, or Hilo first.
Ocean crossing to Long Beach
Your car crosses on a Matson vessel in an enclosed deck — 14–17 days to the mainland.
Overland delivery to Arizona
A vetted carrier picks up at Long Beach and delivers to your door. Transit: ~2–3 days.

How long does it take to ship a car from Hawaii to Arizona?
Ocean transit from Honolulu to Long Beach takes 14–17 days, followed by approximately 2–3 days of overland delivery to Arizona.
What documents do I need to ship a car FROM Hawaii?
Five documents: vehicle title (front and back), current Hawaii registration, Hawaii Safety Inspection Certificate, government-issued photo ID, and a lien holder authorization letter if financed. Copies must be emailed to the port at least 24 hours before drop-off.
Where do I drop off my car in Hawaii?
Drop off at the Honolulu cargo terminal (Sand Island) with a quarter tank of fuel or less. Shipping from Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island? We arrange the inter-island barge from Kahului, Nawiliwili, or Hilo to Honolulu first.
Can you deliver to Phoenix, Tucson, or Flagstaff?
Yes. Arizona is one of the fastest return deliveries we run — your car lands at Long Beach and reaches most Arizona addresses in about 2–3 days by carrier.
Is it worth picking up at Long Beach myself instead of door delivery?
It can be — Phoenix is a 5–6 hour drive from the Long Beach terminal, so port pickup (port-to-port) skips the carrier leg entirely. Many Arizona customers make it a one-day round trip.
I split the year between Hawaii and Arizona — can I ship seasonally?
Absolutely. Snowbird moves are common on this lane in both directions. Book each leg two to three weeks out and we align your drop-off with a sailing so the car isn't sitting at either end.
Can I ship an electric vehicle from Hawaii to Arizona?
Yes, via container service. The battery must be at 50% charge or below when you drop off at the Honolulu terminal — otherwise prep is the same as a gas vehicle.
