Why it is different
A move within the lower 48 is one truck, start to finish. A move to or from Hawaii or Alaska includes a sea crossing. The car goes to a port, on a ship, and out to its destination. That means more handoffs, port rules and paperwork.
What to plan for
- Documents. Proof of ownership and photo ID. Ask early if the car has a lien.
- Timing. The sea leg runs on a ship schedule, so build in extra time and do not book a flight home the day the car lands.
- Prep. Low fuel, an empty car, photos of every side, and a note of existing damage.
- Insurance questions. Ask us what coverage applies on the route you are shipping.

Questions people ask
Is shipping to Hawaii the same as shipping across the mainland?
No. The car travels by truck to a port, then by ship, then often by truck again. That adds steps, and the details depend on the route.
What do I need to bring?
Expect to show proof of ownership and a photo ID. If the car has a lien, ask us early, because the lender may need to approve the move.
