How can you prepare a car to ship to Hawaii?

Clean the vehicle

Clean the interior and exterior of your car thoroughly before we ship it to Hawaii. 

Do this to make sure that we can inspect your vehicle properly at the time of loading and unloading.

Remove all personal items

Make sure that you do not leave any personal items in the car before we ship it to Hawaii. You should not leave any important documents in the car as well.

Keep the gas tank low

For international shipments, you should not leave gas more than 5% of the tank’s capacity. For domestic shipments, the threshold is considerably higher (25%).

Check the battery

Before you handover the vehicle to our representative and we ship your car to Hawaii, make sure that the battery is working properly. A dead battery will cause problems during loading and unloading the vehicle.

Check the brakes

Your car should have fully operational brakes before we ship it to Hawaii. Any problem with the car’s braking system can become a safety hazard leading to potentially damaging your vehicle.

Disable the alarms

If your car has an alarm system, whether factory installed or aftermarket, make sure that you handover the remote to our driver. Otherwise, we will have to remove the alarm before we ship your car to Hawaii.
