Shipping from Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas is a surprisingly active auto transport market for a city its size. It sits at the intersection of I-15 which runs from LA to Salt Lake City and beyond, and US-95 which connects it to Phoenix and Reno. The Las Vegas metro has a large dealer market and significant auction activity. Copart Las Vegas is active. The transient nature of the Las Vegas population, with lots of people moving in and out regularly, keeps shipping demand elevated. And because I-15 between LA and Las Vegas is one of the most traveled routes in the West, carriers run this lane constantly.

Pickups from Las Vegas typically happen within 2 to 3 days. The LA to Las Vegas lane is one of the most active and competitive in the western US. Carriers run it constantly because there is always demand in both directions. Routes north toward Salt Lake City and east toward Phoenix and beyond are also well serviced. If you are shipping on a popular lane out of Las Vegas, carriers are already running it and your car fits naturally into the flow.

Difficult Market

Arriving in Honolulu, HI

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.
