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

Hawaii to Virginia — Common Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car from Hawaii to Virginia?
Return shipping from Hawaii to Virginia starts at $1,072 port-to-port from Honolulu. Door delivery anywhere in Virginia 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 Virginia?
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 Virginia 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.
Can you deliver to Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Richmond, and NoVA?
Yes — door delivery covers all of Virginia. From Long Beach, the eastbound leg runs about 7–10 days.
I'm transferring from Pearl Harbor to the Norfolk area — how does this usually go?
It's one of the most common military lanes we run. Drop the car at Sand Island before you fly; total transit is about 21–27 days, timed so the car lands close to your own arrival.
Do I re-register in Virginia?
Yes — register with the Virginia DMV once delivered. Hawaii plates are valid during the shipment; keep the receipt as your arrival record.
Is the car insured for the whole route?
Yes — vessel cargo coverage at sea plus the trucking carrier's cargo insurance overland, continuous end to end.
