Cars go to Hawaii by ship from a West Coast port. The trip has three parts:
Book the ship first, then the truck: the truck has to deliver your car to the terminal before the sailing's cutoff. Shipping from Hawaii back to the mainland works the same way in reverse - pick the terminal ZIP as the pickup on our quote.
