DELIVER TO A PORT FACILITY

NOTE: An auto shipment booking is required prior to delivery of your vehicle to the port.


Take your vehicle to the Port Facility (see maps and hours of operation below). We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes prior to closing.


At the port facility you must provide the following:

 

  • Driver’s license
  • Booking number

 


At the Port Facility leave a set of keys for the ignition, trunk door, gas tank, and any other locking compartment. If you have an electric car, please leave the charging cable in the vehicle.


Please Note: The Department of Agriculture inspects all compartments of your vehicle. All compartments must remain unlocked and accessible for inspection. Failure to do this may result in delay in the movement of your vehicle. Your keys will accompany your vehicle to its port drop off.



Please retain possession of your automobile registration document – you will need it at the port of discharge. (This does not pertain to vehicles moving between Tacoma and the Alaska ports.)

    The short answer is yes! You will be able to track your vehicle while in ocean transit. We do offer our clients an online car shipment tracking tool provides transparency and offers peace of mind so you know where your vehicle is in real-time, port to port as it ships between Hawaii and the U.S. Mainland. For land transport, you will need to contact dispatch or the diver directly for updates.

  • Can I pack my car with personal items?

    We are glad you asked! When it comes to shipping overseas to & from Hawaii, we are sorry to inform you that Federal & Maritime laws do not allow personal items to be placed anywhere inside the car.


    The cars will go under a close inspection to ensure the car is free of all personal items. You are allowed only to have the spare tire, the jack & one first aid kit and that is all. Any personal items in the car will delay your shipment and make it very difficult to recover later. So beware and make sure your car is completely empty and free of all contents.

  • How long does it take to ship a cars to Hawaii?

    Transit time when shipping to and from Hawaii depends on many factors. It is important you speak to one of our Hawaii vehicle transport specialists to ensure you get quoted the correct transit times. If you are in the mainland it will depend on when your car becomes ready for pick up and how long it will take to get to the nearest port. Again please call and speak to one of our experienced Hawaii car transport customer services to get an estimated ship and arrival date.
