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.

Anaheim sits in the heart of Orange County and operates entirely within the LA metro carrier network. For practical purposes, getting a car to or from Anaheim is the same as getting one to or from Los Angeles. I-5 runs straight through Anaheim from LA to San Diego and is one of the most heavily traveled carrier corridors in the country. SR-91 connects Anaheim to the Inland Empire and Riverside. The auction market in Anaheim is significant. Manheim California Auction in Anaheim is one of the largest in the state, processing over 300 vehicles per sale. Copart and IAA both have Orange County locations nearby. The Orange County dealer market is one of the strongest in Southern California. Carriers are always in this area.
Anaheim is an easy delivery destination for the same reasons it is an easy pickup market. Carriers on I-5 pass through Orange County constantly moving between LA and San Diego. If your car is coming from the north or south, Anaheim is right on the route. If it is coming from the east on I-10 or through Riverside on SR-91, the connection is direct. Delivery is typically smooth and straightforward anywhere in the Orange County area.
Shipping a standard sedan from Honolulu to Anaheim on open carrier currently estimates between $1600 and $1900. That is based on the 3,143-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.
Anaheim prices run at or slightly below the national average, just like the broader LA market. You benefit from being in one of the most competitive auto transport markets in the country. Routes to Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and the Bay Area are very active and priced well. Long haul routes to Texas or the East Coast are competitive because carriers fill up in the LA metro and Anaheim is a natural loading point. Summer sees elevated demand. January through March is often the best window for pricing. Get a quote to see your exact price.
