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.
Here is how the process actually works. First, your car gets transported to the departure port on the mainland via a standard auto transport carrier. That part of the process takes 1 to 4 days depending on how far you are from Oakland, Los Angeles, or San Diego. Then your vehicle is checked in, prepared for ocean shipping, and loaded onto the next available vessel. Ocean transit from the West Coast to Honolulu is typically 7 to 14 days once the ship departs. Total door-to-port timing, including port processing on both ends, generally runs 2 to 4 weeks from the day you drop your car off. Book at least 3 weeks ahead to hit a specific target date.

Mesa is the eastern anchor of the Phoenix metro and carriers treat it as Phoenix for all practical purposes. I-60 runs through Mesa heading east toward Globe and connects to the broader Phoenix freeway system at I-10 and the Loop 202. Manheim Phoenix is located in Tolleson on the west side of the metro at 201 North 83rd Avenue, and ADESA has a location in Chandler just south of Mesa. IAA and Copart both have Phoenix area facilities. The dealer market across Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and the East Valley is substantial. Carriers running the I-10 corridor between California and Texas, and the I-17 and I-40 corridors heading north, have constant business in this metro.
Delivering to Mesa is easy. Carriers coming off I-10 from California or Texas, or dropping down I-17 from Flagstaff and the north, route naturally through the East Valley. Large haulers prefer the freeway-adjacent staging areas and commercial zones, which are plentiful in Mesa. The city is well suited for car haulers compared to denser urban environments. Deliveries to residential neighborhoods go smoothly and meetups are rarely required.
Shipping a standard sedan from Honolulu to Mesa on open carrier currently estimates between $1850 and $2150. That is based on the 3,563-mile distance and current market conditions.
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.
Mesa prices are essentially Phoenix prices. This is one of the most competitive auto transport markets in the country. Lanes to Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, and Denver are extremely active. Winter snowbird season from November through April keeps carrier volume high in both directions. Summer pricing can tick up slightly because some carriers avoid the desert heat runs, but the market stays competitive. You are not paying a suburb premium here the way you might in other metros.
