Vehicle Shipping from Hawaii

At Ship Vehicles, we service the ports located in Honolulu, Hilo, Kawaihae, Kahului and Nawiliwili, make vehicle shipping convenient on all of the major Hawaiian Islands. If you are shipping your vehicle from Hawaii to the mainland, and then continuing on to Texas, you will need to provide the below information upon dropping off your vehicle at the port.

• Your shipping / booking number. You will obtain this from one of our Ship Vehicles representatives.
• A government-issued photo identification.
• Your vehicle’s title or an authorized letter from the Lien holder. This will depend on if you own or lease your vehicle.
• The vehicle’s current registration form. It does not matter what the issuing state is for this form.

It’s important that the person dropping off the vehicle at the port is the same person listed on the booking form. If it is dropped off by someone else, the vehicle is not permitted for shipment. Additionally, keep in mind that if someone other than the legal owner is dropping off the vehicle, you must provide a notarized letter that states permission for the vehicle to be shipped. The institution who holds the lien on the title will also need to provide written permission for the vehicle to be transported from Hawaii to the mainland.

Upon dropping off the vehicle at one of the Hawaiian port facilities, a shipping representative will examine your vehicle and begin filling out the Bill of Lading. They will notate the vehicle’s current condition and any damages at the time of drop off. Your vehicle will then be secured either on the deck of the ship or in an airtight container for its shipment to the mainland.

Please note the following additional port information when shipping a vehicle out of the state of Hawaii:

• There are no Hawaiian ports other than Honolulu that directly service the mainland. All vehicles that leave Hawaii for the mainland are transferred by barge from all other islands to the Port of Honolulu.
• Shipping a vehicle from the Port of Honolulu to the Port of Oakland: Ship departs every Thursday.
• Shipping a vehicle from the Port of Honolulu to the Port of Long Beach: Ship departs every Saturday.
• Transit time from Hawaii to the mainland: 17 – 21 days.
• Our team will be notified once the vehicle arrives at the port on the mainland. Ship Vehicles will then arrange for the vehicle to be picked up and transported to its final destination in Texas.

Vehicle Delivery to Texas

We offer delivery directly to your door in Texas, whether it be a residential or business location. Once your car arrives on the mainland, a certified transporter will be dispatched to its location. After an additional inspection of the vehicle, it will be loaded onto the carrier. Your vehicle will then make its journey to your preferred destination within the state of Texas.

When the vehicle reaches its final destination, the transporter will unload it from the carrier and perform a final inspection. This will ensure that the vehicle was delivered in the exact condition that it was in when it was dropped off at the port in Hawaii.

Some of the most popular locations that we service throughout Texas include Dallas, Houston, Austin, Laredo, San Antonio, El Paso, Fort Worth, Corpus Christi, Arlington, Plano and all other surrounding areas.

Step 5: Vehicle drop-off. When the date for transport comes around, you will need to be in charge of the transport of the vehicle to the port in Hawaii. Land transport to the dedicated Hawaiian port is not an available service.

Step 6: Transit time. Overall you can expect the transport from Hawaii to the mainland to take anywhere from 17 to 21 days. The shipment from the mainland port to Texas will take around 3 – 5 days for a total transit time of 20 – 26 days.
