Shipping a car to Hawaii costs around $1,500-$2,100. The cost to transport a car Westbound (to Hawaii) is higher than car shipping
Eastbound (from Hawaii). If vehicles are larger than 21’ 8” (length), 7’ (width), or 6’3” (height) — your cost to move the vehicle will be higher.

While port-to-port service is a reliable option, many of our customers choose door-to-port/port-to-door service for the added convenience. With a network of carriers nationwide, Montway can easily arrange transportation from your home or office to the most convenient mainland port—or from a port in Hawaii to your island destination.
Once your vehicle is loaded on the ship, it will be stored underneath the deck and be well protected while at sea.
To transport your vehicle to or from a port, you have two options: open or enclosed car shipping.
OPEN car shipping
Open transport is a very popular choice as vehicles are quickly loaded and unloaded, making this method both convenient and cost-effective. While on an open trailer, your vehicle will be exposed to weather and road conditions which could lead to some accumulation of dirt during its journey. But rest assured, this is tried-and-true transportation, trusted by many car owners.

ENCLOSED car shipping
Enclosed transport offers your vehicle added protection from unpredictable weather and potential road hazards. This makes it the perfect choice when you’re shipping a classic, luxury or exotic car to or from Hawaii. Other vehicles with low ground clearance, such as sports cars and powersports, may also need enclosed transport as a hydraulic lift gate or ramp may be required for loading and unloading.
