Automobile shipping to Hawaii

Here's some useful information to remember when shipping your vehicle to Hawaii. Knowing this and utilizing this will help your move to go quickly and hassle-free.

• Only things that are bolted down or come with the car (i.e. spare tire, jack, etc) are allowed in the car. No personal items are allowed. If you are unsure, contact the company that you are using to ship your car.
• When you deliver your vehicle to the port, make sure that it has less than 1/4 of a tank of gas. This is to ensure a safe transport. Also, make sure that the vehicle has antifreeze in it, because it can get mighty cold on the open ocean.
• Make sure you have all the information about where it's going and where it's coming from. This means name, address, and contact information of who is picking up the car as well as who is dropping it off at the port. Also, make sure that the company you are shipping with has a port, and find out its hours of operation. Leave a set of keys for any compartment that requires a key. The Department of Agriculture can and will check your vehicle, so don't make it any harder on them.
• If you are shipping your car FROM Hawaii, make sure that you can prove you own the vehicle as well have a current certificate of registration. Hawaiian law mandates it.
