How Hawaii Auto Shipping Works with FAS Auto Shipping
FAS Auto Shipping has streamlined the vehicle shipping process to make it as simple as possible for our customers. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how Hawaii auto shipping works with FAS:
1. Request a Quote
The first step in shipping your vehicle to Hawaii is to get a free, no-obligation quote from FAS Auto Shipping. You can call us at 888-404-4084 or fill out the quote request form on our website. We’ll need some basic information about your vehicle, such as the make and model, the pickup location, and the destination port in Hawaii. Once we have this information, we’ll provide you with a customized shipping quote.
2. Choose Your Shipping Option
FAS Auto Shipping offers several different shipping options, depending on your preferences and budget. We provide both door-to-port and port-to-port shipping services. If you choose door-to-port shipping, we’ll arrange for your vehicle to be picked up at your home or business and transported to the departure port. If you opt for port-to-port shipping, you’ll drop off your vehicle at one of our designated mainland ports for loading onto a cargo ship.
3. Prepare Your Vehicle for Shipping
Before your vehicle is loaded onto the ship, it’s important to properly prepare it for transport. Here are a few steps to follow:
- Clean your vehicle inside and out. This will make it easier to inspect for any pre-existing damage before shipping.
- Remove all personal items. For security and safety reasons, we advise removing all personal belongings from your vehicle.
- Check for fluid leaks. Make sure there are no active fluid leaks that could pose a risk during transport.
- Reduce the fuel level. For safety reasons, vehicles being shipped to Hawaii should have less than a quarter tank of fuel.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Loading
On the scheduled pickup date, a driver from FAS Auto Shipping will arrive to collect your vehicle (if you’ve selected the door-to-port service). We’ll transport it to the nearest port, where it will be loaded onto a cargo ship for the journey to Hawaii. All vehicles are securely fastened during transport to prevent movement or damage while at sea.
5. Vehicle Transport to Hawaii
Your vehicle will travel by ship to one of Hawaii’s major ports, such as Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, or Nawiliwili. The shipping process typically takes 7 to 14 days, depending on the departure port and the final destination in Hawaii. You’ll be provided with an estimated arrival date when your vehicle is scheduled for shipment.
6. Vehicle Delivery and Pickup in Hawaii
Once your vehicle arrives at the port in Hawaii, you’ll be notified and can arrange for pickup. If you prefer to have the vehicle delivered to your specific location in Hawaii, we can arrange for a third-party local carrier to complete the final leg of the delivery. If you opt for port-to-port service, you’ll simply pick up your vehicle from the designated port.
