CAR & TRUCK TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Whether you’re shipping a vehicle to across the state, or from one coast to the other, the process is more or less the same. You’ll need information such as the make, model, and year of the vehicle, as well as its current location and where you’re shipping to. It’s also helpful to have a delivery time frame in mind if you need to vehicle shipped by a certain date.
At Aloha Transportation USA, shipping your car has never been easier. We simplify this process as much as possible, making it easier than ever to get a quick, accurate, timely price quote in a matter of minutes (just fill out our form). You simply tell us what type of vehicle you need shipped and when, and we’ll have one of our logistics transport partners contact you right away with a cost estimate. It’s a process that we’ve intentionally kept simple and getting an estimate with Aloha Transport USA is always FREE.
Even if you’re just curious about the cost of transporting a vehicle, we’re happy to supply you with that information, regardless of the type of cargo being hauled or the type of trailer required to do so.
One of the main choices you’ll have to make when shipping a vehicle is what type of transport you need, which boils down to what type of trailer is required. Most vehicles shipped within the same country are hauled on an open air carrier that moves several at once, usually between eight and 12. Vehicles that are shipped in an enclosed trailer are most often vintage, luxury, or high-performance cars.
If your vehicle is not in running condition, that should be mentioned as well. There is a small additional cost that usually comes along with transporting an inoperable vehicle, whether it’s because of a flat tire or a blown transmission. The additional cost is usually $100 or less, but you do need to mention it as special equipment may be needed.

Preparing Your Vehicle To Be Shipped
Preparation is an important aspect of car shipping, and one that doesn’t get talked about enough. There are a few small but important steps you’ll need to take in order to make sure your vehicle is ready to be transported. Here are the basics.
- Clean and wash the vehicle, both inside and out. You’ll also want to remove anything that is a non permanent component. This includes things like antennas, luggage racks, bike racks, spoilers, etc. The vehicle should be effectively empty before transport.
- Run the gas tank down to no more than 1/4 tank. Companies will often tack on an additional charge for vehicles that have more than 1/4 tank of gas.
- Check fluid levels, including for leaks. A small leak can cause big problems over the course of several hundred miles, especially if multiple vehicles are being moved at once.
- Document any existing damages on the vehicle, including any minor dents or scratches. Taking pictures is usually a good idea for this part of the preparation as it provides clear evidence in the event of a dispute.
- Disable the car alarm. This is an important step that, if overlooked, can cause big problems and long delays for the driver.
