How We Ship Cars from Hawaii to Maine
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 9–12 days of overland delivery from Long Beach to your Maine 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 Maine
A vetted carrier picks up at Long Beach and delivers to your door. Transit: ~9–12 days.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Hawaii to Maine?
Return shipping from Hawaii to Maine starts at $1,072 port-to-port from Honolulu. Door delivery anywhere in Maine 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 Maine?
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 Maine 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 really deliver all the way to Maine?
Yes — Maine is the longest overland run on the network, about 9–12 days from Long Beach after the 14–17 day ocean leg. Portland, Bangor, and coastal towns are all door-delivery territory.
What's the total port-to-door time to Maine?
Plan on roughly 23–29 days. It's the full breadth of the country after an ocean crossing — we keep you updated at each handoff.
Will winter weather affect a Maine delivery?
Carriers run year-round, but in nor'easter weeks a driver may hold a day. Pad your plans with a buffer day December through March and rinse road salt off after delivery.
Can someone else sign for the car in Maine?
Yes — authorize any adult with photo ID and the driver will coordinate directly with them.
