Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Charlotte, North Carolina to Honolulu, Hawaii

Quick Answer: Shipping a car from North Carolina to Hawaii costs around $2,000 and generally takes 10-14 days, depending on vessel schedules. North Carolina is a state in the United States that is located in the Southeastern region. While Hawaii is a state on the Western side of the United States.

The cheapest way to ship a car to Hawaii is typically using the Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) method from a West Coast port (like CA) to a Hawaiian port (like Honolulu), choosing port-to-port service, and using major carriers like Matson, Pasha Hawaii, or reputable brokers like Montway Auto Transport to compare prices, with costs often ranging from $1,000-$1,500+. You must drop off a clean, empty vehicle with minimal fuel (1/4 tank) at the port and pick it up there, saving significantly over door-to-door options.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.
