Jorge ALWAYS responded to my inquiries, even on a holiday when it was almost midnight East Coast time. Jorge also tailored his correspondence to align with the local Hawaiian language by using "Aloha" and "Mahalo". This was exactly the service I was looking for when choosing a shipping company. Ask for Jorge Perez, he exceeds expectations!

I can't lie, I was a little worried through the whole process. I am a control freak and I was…read morealready in Hawaii during the process. We had already shipped our Jeep through the military and that was the most stressful and unnecessarily painful journey from start to finish. It made me more nervous about shipping our Tesla especially since we weren't on mainland anymore. I contacted Coastal Auto Shipping after reading multiple reviews and thumbing through many different shippers profiles. Richard was so helpful, he asked a few questions via text and then helped me finish up by giving me a call. He answered quickly and I was never unable to reach him. There is a small time difference because we are on island time but that was never an issue and he was there for the entire process which made me feel better as well. My parents had our Tesla in Arizona and it was picked up from their house. They said the driver was helpful, quick and efficient. So easy! I was actually jealous that they had it so easy because when we dropped our Jeep off we were picking small hairs one by one out of a 2012 Jeep Jk just to drop it off. While it was free through the military, I will NEVER go through them again. We will be shipping our cars back through Coastal Auto Shipping. Our car got here in record time and faster than we expected which was a great surprise because sharing one car wasn't hard but wasn't all that convenient either. We got an email it had arrived, our name wasn't connected to the car so we talked to Richard and then were quickly back on track to grab our car. We were in and out faster than you could name the 7 dwarfs! If I could give them more stars I'd absolutely do it! We will be back in a few years to do this the other direction for both our cars, it wasn't overpriced and we were overall extremely happy with our service from start to finish!! Mahalo, we appreciate you all!

About five minutes later, I was escorted to the lot to pick up my vehicle. No joke, I was out of there in under 10 minutes total. Google Maps directions were straightforward and easy to follow, there's really no way to get lost. My car was spotless and clearly well taken care of during transport. They even provided a free car wash coupon and give you 30 days to register your vehicle. Overall, an extremely smooth and efficient experience. Highly recommend.

I got my car shipped from the Big Island to Las Vegas. It did take longer than we expected and…read morethere wasn't a lot of accurate updates on the Transport Tracker (It took about a week longer than expected to deliver). I will say, I was able to reach someone every time I called for an update or had a question, and the woman I spoke with was extremely nice and had great customer service. I don't know if this is a problem with the delivery company or with Hawaii Car Transport but we were told someone would call to schedule the drop off. I got a call in the morning when the driver was outside of my house! Luckily, I took a sick day and was able to get it. But if I was at the office, I don't know what would've happened. Overall, my family and I wanted to support a local business and we understand that it is a long process shipping a car from Hawaii to the Mainland so expect delays! We paid the amount we were quoted for, no hidden fees/overcharging, car came in great condition, a little dusty, but that's to be expected.

I can't be more dissatisfied with this company. They don't hesitate to provide horrible service,…read moreeven to local families. Initially, communication with them, whether it be through email or over the phone, was great. They were upfront with their pricing and billing practices. My vehicles were picked up from Las Vegas June 12th and were scheduled to be delivered to Hilo, HI around July 7th. We were moving back home to Hawaii and were hoping those vehicles would arrive around when we flew back, July 9th. The vehicle tracking system they provided showed our vehicles arriving in Oahu June 28th. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. It is now July 23rd. Our vehicles are still sitting in Oahu, at least that's what I can assume. The representatives from the company haven't responded to my emails and last Monday it took my wife and I almost 4 hours of consistent calling, to the direct line I had for our representative, and to the customer service line provided on their website. Once I finally got someone on the line, we were immediately put on hold for another 30 minutes. Eventually I was told that they didn't have a definite ETA for our vehicles because they were waiting on a transport to the Big Island. Mind you, our vehicles have been sitting in Oahu since June 28th and it's now July 23rd. We've been borrowing a vehicle from my dad since we got back home July 9th. My wife starts a new job as a high school teacher here locally July 28th and we have three young children that I'll have to find a way to get to school starting August 3rd. I'm trying to figure out how we're gonna do this with just one vehicle (that we're borrowing). It's been 41 days since our vehicles were picked up in Las Vegas for transport to the Big Island. My wife starts her teaching job in 5 days. My kids start school in 11 days. Just a recommendation to possible future customers looking to ship their vehicles from the mainland back to Hawaii. Stay away from this company. Just contact Matson directly. This company will communicate with you frequently in the beginning to get your service but once they've got your payment, they won't hesitate to move on from you. ​I've got 11 days to find another vehicle to borrow from someone or rent a car, without an ETA on our vehicles at all. 25 days sitting in port in Oahu is crazy. Look elsewhere. This is not the shipping company you want to use. STAY AWAY FROM HAWAII CAR TRANSPORT. And if any rep from Hawaii Car Transport sees this review, CONTACT ME ASAP.

The local CA company they used (I believe it was Pioneer) was amazing. They missed 2 tiny drawers but I was able to pack it in my suitcase. I'd highly recommend the CA moving company. Once our household items arrived in HI (it took just under 6 weeks from the time they finished in CA & it was moved into storage in HI) we were contacted to see if we wanted to watch our items being stored. We agreed. Chris was there to meet us (very nice & helpful. Walked us through it) & it seemed to go smoothly. He left half way & the unloaders slowed down. 1 quick phone call & it was back on track. We are pleased with the storage facilities. Secure & temperature controlled. The only hiccup worth mentioning is the 1 of the unloaders was on his phone 98% of the time. Even while pushing the carts he had his phone up to his face. He was young lol. We did have to mention that some of the boxes that said "this side up" meant they needed to store it a certain way. Overall I'd recommend working with Eugene & Chris.

We booked a FASTPASS appointment so our documents were green-lit well ahead of time. Appointment was booked for 10/27/25 at 12:45pm. It was a little hard to get them on the phone but they answered my emails super fast whenever I asked questions. We arrived at 12:30pm to be a few minutes early, and we were done by 1:30pm. Service was as fast as it could be, and all of the staff was incredibly friendly! The process was smooth. When we arrived we checked in, and waited 5 minutes for them to call us back up. When they called us back up they confirmed all the FASTPASS documents were good to go, and had us sign some additional disclosures. Since the inspection crews go to lunch daily (mandated by their union) we had to wait until they returned for the inspection process. No biggie. I was able to drive into the inspection area at exactly 1pm. We didn't professionally detail the vehicle but thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed at home. Passed the inspection in about 20 minutes and we were on our way. People tend to leave bad reviews but often forget to leave the good ones. Don't be scared, prepare well in advance, and you will be smooth sailing.

I wish I could give them negative stars…read more I moved from Honolulu to San Diego with this company, and the experience was terrible. My Samsung 55" TV and computer monitor arrived completely shattered. Ten smaller boxes of my china collection were missing, and the pieces that did arrive were broken. These were high-value items, and I was never compensated because the movers failed to put stickers on the boxes -- which honestly felt negligent at best, and intentional at worst. On top of that, around 15 boxes either never arrived or showed up heavily damaged. I communicated with both Hawaiian Movers and the local company, and neither showed any sympathy or sense of responsibility. Their response was cold and dismissive: just "go talk to the insurance company." This happened about two years ago, and I am only writing this review now because I was recently going through my china collection while preparing for an event, and it brought everything back. It still makes me angry and sad. Please be extremely careful if you use this company. Make sure the movers put stickers on every single item and box. In my case, they did not label many of my items, and that became the reason I could not get compensated. Worst of the worst. Do not use them.
