How We Ship Cars from Hawaii to New Jersey
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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey
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 Newark, Jersey City, or South Jersey?
Yes — door delivery covers the whole state. From Long Beach, the eastbound carrier leg runs about 7–10 days.
What's the total time from Honolulu to New Jersey?
About 21–27 days door-to-door. North Jersey deliveries near the city may stage from a wide-street meeting point — transporters and tight blocks don't mix.
Is my car insured across the whole trip?
Yes — two continuous layers: ocean cargo coverage on the water and the trucking carrier's cargo insurance overland.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks. Eastbound carriers out of Long Beach fill quickly in summer, and pre-booking keeps your car moving the week it lands.
