Maximizing trunk space
When you transport large items in a typically sized car, it will take a bit of preparation and planning. This will entail maximizing the space that is available in your car’s trunk area. There are a few pretty simple ways that you can accomplish this. You should start by cleaning out your trunk and getting rid of any junk as well as putting anything inside your home that is not essential to you driving. If you have an SUV or larger vehicle, odds are that you will be able to put your back seats down in order to create more space. Check your owner’s manual to see how you will be able to do this.
Next, you should make any use of built-in spaces that exist in your car to hold smaller things so you will not need to store them in your trunk. Finally, when you are loading larger items, be sure you load them first. Whatever items, large or small, that you do store in your trunk, be sure they are secure and will not be sliding around before you start driving.
Trailers
You also have the option of using a trailer to transport large items with your car so long as your vehicle has the capacity to tow a trailer. You can either buy or rent a trailer. If you are just moving large items once or twice, it only makes sense to rent a trailer. If you are going to be regularly moving items that are too large to put in your car, you should consider buying a trailer.
When you are driving with a trailer, be sure that you drive with even more caution then usual. Make sure that the trailer is safely and securely attached to your car before you leave. You also must be sure to keep extra distance between you and the car in front of you as the trailer will make it take slightly longer to reach a complete stop due to the extra weight. Be sure wherever you are traveling with the trailer, there will be enough and legal space for you to park at least for the time that you will spend unloading it.

Using your car to transport large items in Hawaii will take some extra prep work. You will either need to clear out extra room in your car via trunk space and by possibly putting your back seats down or else you will need to get a trailer. If you do choose to get a trailer, be sure to drive with extra caution. Either way, be sure that those large items are secure before you start your drive.
