How Car Shipping to Maui Works
One booking covers all three legs: getting your car to the West Coast port, the enclosed Matson crossing to Honolulu, and the coordinated inter-island barge to Kahului Harbor. One all-inclusive rate, one tracking link for the whole trip.
Mainland pickup or port drop-off
Drive to the Long Beach or Oakland terminal (port-to-port) or we dispatch a licensed carrier to your door (door-to-port).
Enclosed Pacific crossing to Honolulu
Your car rides inside a Matson Roll-on/Roll-off vessel — 12–14 days, fully enclosed for the entire ocean crossing.
Inter-island barge to Kahului Harbor
We coordinate the barge transfer in Honolulu as part of your single booking — no second contract, one tracking link. Barge leg: 2–3 days.
Pickup at Kahului Harbor
Neighbor-island auto lots release vehicles on select days — we confirm your exact pickup day before you drive to the harbor.
Straight answer on the barge leg
The ocean crossing to Honolulu is fully enclosed inside the Matson hull. The short inter-island barge leg (2–3 days) rides an open deck \u2014 true for every neighbor-island vehicle in Hawaii, no matter who ships it. We tell you upfront so there are no surprises at the harbor.

Common Questions — Shipping to Maui
How much does it cost to ship a car to Maui?
Shipping to Maui costs $2,340+ from the mainland. Your car first crosses to Oahu via Matson (12–14 days), then we coordinate the inter-island barge to Kahului Harbor — one booking, one tracking link.
How long does it take to ship a car to Maui?
Matson quotes 33–45 days total from sail date for neighbor island delivery. Two legs: the enclosed crossing to Honolulu, then the coordinated inter-island barge to Kahului Harbor (2–3 days). Most shipments land well inside the Matson window.
Which port does my car arrive at on Maui?
Kahului Harbor is the primary auto terminal for Maui. Most customers pick up within 1–2 days of the vessel arrival notice.
Can I ship a car directly to Maui from the mainland?
Not directly — all mainland auto shipments arrive at Oahu first via Matson. The inter-island barge transfer to Kahului, Hilo, or Nawiliwili is coordinated as part of your booking.
