How We Ship Cars from Hawaii to Connecticut
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 7–10 days of overland delivery from Long Beach to your Connecticut 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)
Above one-eighth tank and below one-quarter tank, 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. We confirm stowage and estimated port availability for the booked sailing.
Overland delivery to Connecticut
A vetted carrier picks up at Long Beach and delivers to your door. Transit: ~7–10 days.

Hawaii to Connecticut — Common Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car from Hawaii to Connecticut?
Return shipping from Hawaii to Connecticut starts at $1,072 port-to-port from Honolulu. Door delivery anywhere in Connecticut adds overland transport from Long Beach — call (808) 378-7540 for an exact all-inclusive quote.
How long does it take to ship a car from Hawaii to Connecticut?
The Honolulu-to-Long Beach sailing and mainland delivery have separate milestones. Ask for the current carrier receiving cutoff and estimated vehicle availability; any overland delivery to Connecticut follows port release.
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 Honolulu Port on Sand Island with fuel above one-eighth tank and below one-quarter tank. Shipping from Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island? We arrange the inter-island barge from Kahului, Nawiliwili, or Hilo to Honolulu first.
Do you deliver to Hartford, New Haven, and Fairfield County?
Yes — door delivery covers all of Connecticut. The cross-country leg from Long Beach takes about 7–10 days after the 14–17 day ocean crossing from Honolulu.
What's the realistic port-to-door total to Connecticut?
About 21–27 days all-in: ocean transit to Long Beach plus a week to ten days of carrier transport across the country to your Connecticut address.
Is my car insured for the whole trip?
Yes — two layers. The ocean leg is covered by the vessel carrier's cargo coverage, and the overland leg is covered by the trucking carrier's cargo insurance. Your car is never uninsured between Honolulu and Connecticut.
Can I ship from a neighbor island to Connecticut?
Yes. We coordinate the inter-island connection to Honolulu and onward transport. The connection and receiving date depend on the route-specific carrier schedule.
