Your shipping requirements can greatly increase or decrease the cost of having your vehicle shipped. You can save a lot by choosing open transport rather than enclosed. Auto dealerships safely receive vehicles every day from open car carrier trailers. To save money we highly recommend this option unless of course you are shipping an irreplaceable luxury, high end sports car, or antique vehicle. Other important cost factors include the size, weight and type of car or truck. The body type such as sub-compact car, full size pickup, crossover, sedan and full-size crossover you are shipping can also impact your rate. Usually the larger the vehicle the higher the shipping cost. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered the size of your vehicle they can also increase the cost of shipping. Below are some of the accessories that can increase cost.

• Nerf bars
• Running lights
• Oversized antennas
• 4 wheel drive
• Oversized tires
• Extended side mirrors
• Trailer hitch
• Lift kits
• Side steps

Hawaii auto transport rates are calculated by the mile and rates change depending on the cost of fuel. Often you can save money by driving your vehicle to a shipping terminal and picking the vehicle up at another shipping terminal near your delivery address. Terminal to terminal can save you a lot of money but if you need or prefer door to door auto transport make sure that your pick-up and delivery locations are accessible by a full-size tractor trailer. The method of payment you choose to use for your vehicle delivery can sometimes affect your rate. Although some companies prefer COD, most carriers accept both COD and credit cards. Please check with your carrier first if you intend to pay with a check. The time of year also affects the rates of shipping a vehicle, summer is high season and the rates are higher. If the vehicle you are transporting is not operational this will significantly add to your rate. You must inform the shipping company if your vehicle is inoperable.

Careful preparation is the most effective way to prevent any issues with your Hawaii vehicle delivery. If your vehicle is inoperable or partially inoperable it can still be shipped although the extra logistics, time, and labor will be reflected in your rate. You MUST inform the carrier of any such defects BEFORE you arrange your shipping schedule. Typically a pick-up driver that arrives without prior knowledge that a vehicle is inoperative will refuse to take possession of that vehicle. Always verify that both your pickup and delivery addresses are accurate. Do not utilize your vehicle as a secondary shipping container. Weight is an important calculation in determining your rate and personal belongings are usually not insured. Also leave no more than a quarter tank of fuel in your vehicle.

You will receive and complete a bill of lading when your vehicle is picked up. Carefully check the accuracy of everything on this document prior to signing it. Next, you should meticulously inspect your vehicles condition, inside and out, with the pick-up driver. Any defects or damage such as dents, cracked glass, scrapes etc. should be noted at this time. This step is crucial for resolution in the unlikely event of your vehicle sustaining any damage during the shipping process. Many customers and some carrier drivers will take pictures of the vehicle from multiple points to help with any unfortunate claims upon delivery. Damages are rare as we only associate with reputable, experienced auto shippers, however in the unlikely event that any issues or unexpected problems arise you certainly should report them to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Communication is critical to an easy auto transport. Our Hawaii auto transport partners will attempt to keep you informed every step of the way. Our partners typically deliver on-time, however occasionally situations created by weather, road conditions, or other traffic problems are possible. Keeping an open line of communication to your carrier or driver can help eliminate a lot of stress.

When selecting door to door transport services, local road conditions can impact pickup and delivery times and locations. Most auto transports are accomplished by semi-trucks. These big rigs are difficult to maneuver on narrow roads and streets. Hawaii has 9,662 miles of highways and byways with many rural roads and other road conditions that will prevent or limit access for semi-trailers. If the pickup and/or delivery locations have any obstructions that could prevent the truck from accessing the location we recommend you select a different location. This can easily be accomplished by coordinating with the driver. Selecting a freight terminal, shopping plaza or other open area is often the solution. Traffic can also impact pickup and/or drop-off schedules. We recommend you check road and traffic conditions for delays. Check here to find current traffic conditions in Hawaii. Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.

• Dead end streets
• Access hours
• Low hanging phone cables
• Limited Access Avenues
• One way streets
• Narrow streets
• Low overpasses
• County road
• Low overpasses

The state of Hawaii which covers the Hawaiian Islands, is tropical but it experiences many different climates depending on altitude and surrounding. The weather rarely impacts auto transport schedules. The average number of sunny days on the main island are 168 per year, Honolulu and Oahu average 271 days of sun per year, Kahului average 276 days per year, and Lihue and Kauai average 240 sunny days annually. Auto transport shipping is rarely affected by weather in or en route to Hawaii. The main island of Hawaii hosts 4 (out of 5 in total) climate groups on a surface of only 4,028 square miles; tropical, arid, temperate and polar. The islands receive most rainfall from the trade winds on their north and east sides. Coastal areas are drier, especially the south and west sides. The Hawaiian Islands receive most of their precipitation during the winter months, October to April. Drier conditions generally prevail from May to September, and while warmer temperatures increase the risk of tropical cyclones, Pacific hurricanes seldom impact Hawaii.
