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.

Cleveland is a strong auto transport market and carries serious auto industry history that still matters today. I-90 runs along the south shore of Lake Erie and connects Cleveland to Toledo, Detroit, and Buffalo in both directions. I-71 drops south toward Columbus and Cincinnati and eventually connects to Louisville and Nashville. I-77 runs south to Akron and Canton and connects to the larger I-70 corridor heading east and west. Manheim Cleveland operates out of Brook Park right next to Hopkins International Airport. ADESA Cleveland is in Northfield. IAA operates in the Lorain area west of the city. That is real auction density and it keeps carrier traffic flowing through this market consistently. Cleveland is not Dallas but it is a legitimate Midwest hub.
Cleveland is a natural delivery destination for carriers on I-90 heading east or west, and on I-71 coming up from the south. The auction infrastructure here gives carriers a reason to come because they can pick up another load heading out. Most suburban deliveries are simple. Inner-city deliveries near downtown are doable with a meetup arrangement. Plan for weather delays in winter and you will be fine.
Shipping a standard sedan from Honolulu to Cleveland on open carrier currently estimates between $2975 and $3275. That is based on the 5,559-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.
Cleveland runs right at the national average on most routes. The Midwest auction density and interstate access keep pricing competitive. Routes to Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Columbus are very active and efficient. The Florida corridor is popular in the winter months as Ohio residents head south, which can tighten pricing slightly in that direction from November through March. Routes out to the coasts are competitive on I-90 westbound and I-80. Get a quote to see your exact price.
