Lucky, there have been a LOT of discussions on this forum about shipping issues. If you do a forum search, you will find a lot of useful information.

We shipped our car several months ago from Seattle to Hilo through Matson. The cost was $1,075. Car arrived in good shape. The Matson website is very thorough, and the people are pleasant to deal with and are very helpful. Only problem we had is that the car did not ship out when we thought it would, so it took longer to get here than we had anticipated.

Wouldn't things shipped from Seattle already be used to high humidity? Why would you need a climate controlled storage space? I haven't looked to see if we had any climate controlled storage spaces, but then, I never knew that was an option to look for.

Hilo does have a climate controlled storage space. Real new, very secure and clean. The people running it are extremely nice and helpful.

We also had a good experience with shipping a car from Seattle to Hilo with Matson. Everything went quite smoothly - except when my wife got lost on the way to the Seattle drop off.
