If you are looking for car transport to Oahu, here is some great advice. Wherever you are shipping your car to Oahu from, you will need to ship over the ocean with Matson shipping.
Of course, you will ship from a big port in California. If you don’t live by a port, you will have to get a transportation company to deliver the vehicle. We shipped vehicles from Florida 3 times, so we have become pretty close to experts. I searched and received quotes from every transport company in the US and https://yellowfinlogistics.com/ was always at least $500-$1000 less than the other companies. Each time we dealt with Danielle
Cell: (702) 780-1655. You will pay a deposit of around $100 to secure the date. She will set up shipping across country and shipping with Matson over the ocean. You will pay the car transport and Matson on the dates she tells you to pay. MAKE SURE THE CAR IS TOTALLY EMPTY! Here is the checklist she provides each time.
SHIPPING CHECKLIST

brake, and is licensed or qualified to be licensed for operation on public
