Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Monrovia to Honolulu, Hawaii

Shipping a car from LA to Hawaii generally costs $1,000 to $2,500+, with typical rates around $1,500 - $2,000 for a standard sedan to Oahu, but prices vary significantly by vehicle type (EVs cost more), specific island (Big Island, Kauai pricier), carrier (Matson, Pasha), and service (port-to-port vs. door-to-door). Expect a total process taking 2-4 weeks and requiring the car to be clean with minimal gas.

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.

For shipping a car to Hawaii, top-rated companies like Montway Auto Transport, Coastal Auto Shipping, and Mercury Auto Transport are often recommended for their networks, but you can also go direct to major carriers like Matson or Pasha Hawaii for potentially lower costs and simpler processes, offering port-to-port (cheapest) or door-to-port options with critical preparation like removing belongings and minimal fuel.
