SHIPPING A CAR TO HAWAII?

Shipping a car to Hawaii can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. The first step is to find a reputable car shipping company that specializes in shipping to Hawaii. This can be done by researching online or asking for recommendations from friends and family. Once you have chosen a company, you will need to provide them with the make, model, and year of your vehicle, as well as your contact information and the location of the vehicle. 

The company will then provide you with a quote for the cost of shipping, which will include the cost of transport and any additional fees such as fuel surcharges or port charges. 

After you have accepted the quote and made the necessary payments, the company will schedule the pickup of your vehicle and take care of all the details of getting it to Hawaii.

The cars will go under a close inspection to ensure the car is free of all personal items. You are allowed only to have the spare tire, the jack & one first aid kit and that is all.
