How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Motorcycle to Hawaii?

There’s something magical about riding your motorcycle around the scenic roads across Hawaii, and that’s something that you can enjoy just if you don’t mind shipping your bike overseas from the mainland to Hawaii. Of course, there is going to be a cost to this service if you decide to send your bike on the trip, but most people agree that it’s well worth the expense. So just how much will this service cost you? The real answer is it depends! You must account for the location that you are coming from and where in Hawaii the bike is going to.

Port to Port Shipping

In most cases the cost of port-to-port shipping will be in the range of $800 to $1,200 though this range can be affected by factors such as the shipping provider you choose. One example is the cost of transporting a motorcycle, which can be reduced by using a roll-on cargo vessel rather than a shipping container. Roll-on ships can accommodate the vast majority of motorcycles but if you need more protection for your motorcycle or would prefer to send it in a container you will have to shell out some extra cash.

Transport to the Port

While long-distance motorcycle rides are a lot of fun, they aren’t always the most practical. If you live far from a port in California where your motorcycle will be shipped from, you should consider paying a transport company to move your bike to the port for you and then handle the shipping from there. Of course, this will cost more than driving the bike yourself but will save you time and a whole lot of discomfort from a long-distance ride. Plus, when you factor in things like hotel stays and food you probably won’t be saving that much at all! Talk with transport companies about having your motorcycle shipped to the port and then shipped from there to Hawaii.

Inter Hawaii Shipping

Once your motorcycle reaches the port in Hawaii you can either pick it up from there, or you can have it shipped out to your location. Paying to have your bike shipped further will add an additional cost to the service, but if you are far enough from the port it’s often worth the added investment. Your motorcycle will arrive close to your final location and you can easily pick it up and ride it back or load it onto a trailer and transport it from there.

It’s more than worth the expense to have your motorcycle shipped to Hawaii from the mainland and you’ll be glad that you spent the money when you’re riding around the gorgeous islands enjoying all the scenery.
