How Truck & SUV Shipping to Hawaii Works
Shipping larger vehicles to Hawaii follows a simple, organized process with special considerations for size, weight, and clearance.
1. Request your truck or SUV shipping quote
Provide your pickup location, vehicle type, dimensions, and destination island. We compare carrier options and send a clear, no‑obligation quote.
2. Choose your service type
- Door‑to‑port: A carrier picks up your truck or SUV at your home or office and transports it to the departure port.
- Port‑to‑port: You deliver your vehicle directly to the port following simple check‑in instructions.
3. Your vehicle is secured for ocean transport
Trucks and SUVs are secured using heavy‑duty tie‑downs to keep them stable during ocean transit. Oversized or lifted vehicles may require additional arrangements.
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Truck or SUV to Hawaii?
Costs depend on several factors:
- Pickup location and distance to port
- Destination island
- Vehicle size, weight, and height
- Door‑to‑port vs. port‑to‑port service
- Seasonal demand and carrier availability
Because trucks and SUVs are larger and heavier than sedans, they typically cost slightly more to ship. Your quote includes a full breakdown of all charges.
