How Hawaii shipping works
Vehicles ship roll-on/roll-off from the ports of Long Beach, Oakland or Tacoma to Honolulu, Kahului, Nawiliwili or Hilo on Matson or Pasha sailings, about 7–14 days on the water; the price model adds $1,550 for the ocean leg on a sedan. Ask for the land leg to the port and the sailing to be quoted as one shipment; personal items in the car are not allowed and the fuel tank must be under a quarter.
