Atlanta is the auto transport hub of the Southeast and it is not even close. Manheim Atlanta is one of the largest auto auctions in the entire country, processing tens of thousands of vehicles a month. ADESA Atlanta, Copart, and IAA locations add even more auction volume to the market. I-75 and I-85 cross through Atlanta and together they connect Florida to Michigan and the Northeast to the Southwest. I-20 runs east to west connecting Alabama and the Gulf Coast to South Carolina and the ports. Carriers are always in Atlanta because there is always another load waiting.
Pickups in Atlanta typically happen within 1 to 2 days. This is one of the fastest markets we work in. The sheer volume of auction activity alone means carriers are staging in and around Atlanta constantly. If your car is in the suburbs, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, or the south side it is very smooth. Downtown Atlanta itself is manageable but as with most dense city centers carriers sometimes prefer a nearby meetup spot. The speed of this market is hard to beat.
Let me be completely straight with you about Honolulu. Shipping a car to or from Hawaii is a fundamentally different process from mainland auto transport. There are no roads connecting Hawaii to the mainland. Your car has to go on a ship. This is called Roll-on Roll-off shipping, or RoRo for short, and it is how vehicles get moved across the ocean. The two primary carriers for this are Matson Navigation and Pasha Hawaii. Matson ships from Oakland, Los Angeles, and Tacoma. Pasha ships from Los Angeles, San Diego, and Oakland. There is no Manheim, no ADESA, no carrier on a multi-car hauler. It is ocean freight, and the pricing, timeline, and process are entirely different from what most people expect when they search for auto transport.
On the Hawaii end, your vehicle arrives at Honolulu Harbor and goes through a customs and inspection process before you can pick it up. Matson and Pasha have port facilities in Honolulu and will notify you when your car is ready for pickup. If you need your car delivered from the port to your address in Honolulu or elsewhere on Oahu, that is a separate local delivery that can usually be arranged. Plan for the port release process to take 1 to 3 days after the ship arrives. Inter-island shipping to Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island is also possible but adds additional cost and time.
Shipping a standard sedan from Atlanta to Honolulu on open carrier currently estimates between $2925 and $3225. That is based on the 5,481-mile distance and current market conditions.
Atlanta runs at or slightly below the national average on most routes. The Florida corridor is extremely active with snowbird traffic from October through April, so prices on Atlanta to South Florida routes can fluctuate seasonally. Everything else is pretty steady and competitive. Routes to Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and the Midwest are all well serviced. Get a quote to see current pricing on your specific lane.
Hawaii car shipping costs significantly more than any mainland route of comparable distance. You are paying for mainland transport to the departure port, ocean freight, port fees on both ends, and any delivery on the Hawaii side. Total costs for a standard sedan from the continental US to Honolulu typically range from $1,500 to $2,500 depending on your mainland origin, the carrier you choose, and whether you want door-to-door service or port-to-port. Matson and Pasha are generally competitive with each other on ocean freight. The mainland portion of the route is priced like standard auto transport. Get a quote to see your exact price.
