PORT TO PORT SAILING SCHEDULE
How long does it take ship a car to or from Hawaii? Well, the shipment process transit times can vary depending on the origin of pick up or delivery in the mainland. However, ocean transit to Honolulu, Hawaii from any mainland port will remain anywhere from 7-10 days. As an example, if you are shipping your vehicle to Hawaii from the east coast of the United States the complete process usually takes 20-25 days. In some cases, unforeseen delays may occur due to factors such as weather. By reserving ahead of time we will help you plan taking in consideration all seasonal factors.
PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE FOR SHIPMENT TO THE DELIVERY LOCATION
Before shipping your car to or from Hawaii, ensure it is thoroughly inspected and complies with regulations regarding personal items and gas tank levels.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THOROUGH INSPECTION
Conducting a thorough inspection prevents complications. Document the car’s condition with photos and notes, covering dents, scratches, and any existing damage. Use this documentation for comparison upon delivery.
Ensure critical systems like the emergency brake and lights are functional. For inoperable vehicles, notify the shipping company as different procedures might apply. Check fluid levels (oil, transmission, etc.) and ensure there are no leaks, which could incur additional charges or denial of shipment.
Remove any personal items, including infant car seats, to avoid misplacement or damage. Ensure you have the title or ownership document ready for verification. Also, record the license plate number for identification.
REGULATIONS ON PERSONAL ITEMS AND GAS TANK LEVELS
Shipping companies have strict rules on personal items within the vehicle. We do not allow any personal belongings because they are not insured during transit. If the car has to leave the mainland with personal items, verify with the carrier and note any specific restrictions.
The gas tank should be filled to a quarter or one-eighth capacity to reduce weight and risks associated with fuel transport. This also reduces the shipper’s liability in fuel-related issues. Make sure the tank is not completely empty, as the car will need enough fuel for minor repositioning.
Adhering to these guidelines ensures a smoother shipment process and vehicle safety.

PROTECT GERSON AT ALL COSTS!! This guy went waaaay above and beyond to get my car shipped from Hawaii to TN in record time!! The reason why this was an exceptional transaction was because I was not on the island to be able to facilitate anything. My vehicle was at an auto shop and needed to be removed within a couple hours or it would be towed. Gerson arranged for the vehicle to be shipped inoperable and towed to a location that would hold it until it was prepped to ship!!! Total lifesaver and I will NEVER use another shipping company other than you guys!! Thank you Gerson for the outstanding communication, concern, follow thru, and ability to do what you did.

I have worked with Gerson at Coastal over the last 5 years as I have worked all over the country, shipping my car to each destination. The customer service from this company is top notch. Gerson has always gone above and beyond for me. The actual drivers and transport companies vary, some way better than others. I would make sure to research the reviews on transport companies they contract with as well. Thanks Gerson for always making sure me and my little Honda are always taken care of.

I recently used Coastal Auto Shipping to ship my son's car from San Juan to Jacksonville, and from Jacksonville to Kentucky via land transportation, and I couldn't be happier with the service! From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. My agent was Gerson F., and his customer service was excellent, responsive, and very efficient.
He kept me updated throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond to make sure the process was smooth. My car arrived in perfect condition and even a day earlier than expected! Pricing was transparent with no hidden fees. I highly recommend Coastal to anyone in need of reliable, stress-free car shipping. I'll definitely use them again in the future.
