Hawaii Auto Transport
Shipping vehicles to and from Hawaii on professional semi-truck carriers — open, enclosed and expedited, door to door.
Enterprise Auto Transport dispatches carriers throughout Hawaii every week. Our network covers the major metros — Honolulu, Hilo, Kailua-Kona, Kahului — as well as the smaller towns and rural addresses in between where many brokers simply will not commit.
Hawaii lanes are quoted against live carrier availability rather than a generic per-mile table. That means the number you receive is the number a truck will actually accept, so your pickup date holds instead of quietly slipping once you have booked.
What to expect on a Hawaii transport
Transit time. Plan on roughly 500 miles per day of driving once your vehicle is loaded. Lanes between Hawaii and Florida, Texas or the Northeast are dense and move quickly; remote pickups may add a day for the driver to route in.
Seasonality. Snowbird traffic, summer relocations and winter weather all shift capacity and pricing. Booking two to four weeks ahead is the simplest way to control both.
Access. A full-size car carrier is about 75 feet long. Where residential streets, HOAs or low branches prevent access, the driver arranges a safe meeting point minutes away.

Not sure which type of carrier you need?
Don't worry. You don't have to know whether your vehicle belongs on an open carrier, an enclosed trailer, a winch-equipped truck or specialized equipment. Just tell us what you're shipping, its condition, where it's going and when you need it moved. We'll review the shipment and determine what type of transportation is appropriate.
Please note: Anything that rolls on its own wheels must be roadworthy before pickup. The customer is responsible for repairs — tires, bearings, brakes, lights — and for towing and repair costs if the unit becomes disabled in transit.

Island coverage
We ship to every Hawaiian island — and Guam
Hawaii moves are handled through port coordination on both ends. Your vehicle is picked up by a mainland semi-truck carrier, delivered to the port, shipped by ocean freight, and met by a local carrier on the island for final door-to-door delivery. We also coordinate transport to and from Guam using the same port-to-door process.

Guam auto transport
Guam is a U.S. territory served through West Coast port coordination. We arrange mainland pickup, ocean transit, and final delivery to addresses on Guam. Because Guam moves cross an international water lane, transit times are longer and paperwork is more detailed — call us for a firm quote and customs checklist.
