How We Ship Cars from Hawaii to Pennsylvania
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 6–9 days of overland delivery from Long Beach to your Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania
A vetted carrier picks up at Long Beach and delivers to your door. Transit: ~6–9 days.
