How We Ship Cars from Hawaii to New Mexico
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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico
A vetted carrier picks up at Long Beach and delivers to your door. Transit: ~2–3 days.

Hawaii to New Mexico — Common Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car from Hawaii to New Mexico?
Return shipping from Hawaii to New Mexico starts at $1,072 port-to-port from Honolulu. Door delivery anywhere in New Mexico 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 New Mexico?
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 New Mexico 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 Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces?
Yes — door delivery covers all of New Mexico. From Long Beach, carriers run the I-40/I-10 corridors in about 2–3 days.
What's the total port-to-door timeline?
Roughly 16–20 days: 14–17 days on the ocean plus a quick 2–3 day overland leg.
Is port pickup at Long Beach practical from New Mexico?
It's doable — Albuquerque is a long day's drive — but most customers let a carrier handle it given how short the overland leg already is.
Can I ship an EV to New Mexico?
No. Our ocean service uses Matson only. Matson does not accept electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids on any route we sell. Regular non-plug-in hybrids are not blanket approved or rejected; we verify the exact model and battery configuration before confirming eligibility. We do not offer a container or alternate-carrier workaround.
