How We Ship Cars from Hawaii to Maryland
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 Maryland 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 Maryland
A vetted carrier picks up at Long Beach and delivers to your door. Transit: ~7–10 days.

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 Baltimore, Annapolis, or the DC suburbs?
Yes — all of Maryland is covered door-to-door. The cross-country leg from Long Beach runs about 7–10 days.
I'm returning from an Oahu assignment to a Maryland duty station — timing?
Drop the car at Sand Island before your flight; total transit is about 21–27 days. Most members ship as soon as orders firm up so the car lands close to their own arrival.
Do I need Maryland registration after arrival?
Yes — title and register with the Maryland MVA once delivered. Hawaii plates stay valid in transit; keep the shipping receipt as proof of arrival date.
Can I ship from Kauai to Maryland?
Yes — barge from Nawiliwili to Honolulu first (3–7 extra days), then the ocean leg to Long Beach and carrier delivery east.
