Google Pasha Hawaii, I don't think I can post a direct link here. Good luck!

If you contact Matson you can drive your car to long beach ca and they will ship it for $1055.00 that is the cheapest I have found

Try the "search" feature at the top of this screen...several forum members have posted about their experiences and recommendations in the past. Much helpful information in previous posts!

With aloha,

you can ship in from Oakland CA. for $966.50 included tax. save your recite its a tax right off=) my friend shipped his car from TX and it coast him $1500 and his car had dings all over it from it being on the back of a truck for a week. i would recommend driving to Oakland and shipping your car threw Matson. after that. take a cab from port of Oakland to Oakland international Airport.. Indore a painful 5 hour flight. lol. it takes about 17 days door to door from oakland. takes two weeks but it good to allow young brothers (local Freight Fwder) to unload ur vehicle.

Wow! We were lucky, apparently. We shipped our BMW a few years ago just by searching the 'net and selecting "a guy" (subcontractor) to pick it up on the east coast and drop it in Long Beach. It arrived on Maui (about $1,700 and four weeks later) with nothing but a couple of odd retainer straps inside. No dings, no problems.

PS-The idiosyncratic spellings make the other stories all the more, um, interesting. [?]

we used Pasha Hawaii, just picked it up this morning, actually. We had to have them pick it up from Texas and taken to CA because we did the math with gas, stay in a motel, taking off work early, etc. and it was worth it to pay the extra $1000 for them to pickup. it arrived no problems, and it was fast to pick up, too.

Hey, ashten, our cars must have been on the same boat! I dropped mine in San Diego (process took about 15 min) and picked up in Honolulu (about the same). They were great, and the car seems dusty but happy. You can find Pasha at Pasha Hawaii Transport Lines - Home

Anybody out there use Horizon (shipyourvehicle.com)? I like their price and sailing schedule, and they seem reasonable to work with. But everyone seems to use Matson or Pasha. Is there a reason?
