Hawaii is an island state and a part of the United States of America. It is the only U.S. state composed entirely of islands, which means auto transport to Hawaii has to be handled differently. Easily the most popular shipping location in the state is Honolulu, its largest city.
Hawaii, though, is a really popular auto shipping location for several reasons. For one, people want to live there. Sure, it’s expensive, but it’s a great place to live if you can afford it. Secondly it sees a fair bit of traffic throughout the year, and shipping there is done the same way every time.
A bit about Hawaii auto transport services
So, with Hawaii auto transport services, a carrier can’t just drive there. It’s an island, and it’s hundreds of miles away from the U.S. mainland. There’s no road connecting them. This means overseas car shipping, and that can be tricky. It’s not hard to find it – port shippers go to Hawaii every single week. Instead, the hardest part is cost. When you ship a car to Hawaii, it’s going to be more expensive than most any route in the mainland U.S.
This is to be expected with overseas auto shipping, though. Carriers on the mainland can only get your vehicle to the port – from there, the port shipper will take care of the car.
When you pay for Hawaii auto transport services you usually pay the full amount up front. This is so your broker can make sure everyone gets paid accordingly. They often hold the money like escrow – they have it sectioned away and it is only ever used for your shipment. As such, you can usually rest easy knowing that you’ll be in good hands – and your money will be, too.
