What you normally need to ship a car
Shipping a financed car is a bit more involved than when you ship a car that you outright own. It comes down to the fact that it is a permission issue with the company that still holds some ownership over the car. However, this is actually much simpler than it sounds.
When you typically ship a car that you own completely, you will just need your license, your car in good drivable shape, a copy of your booking confirmation and a quarter tank of gas. Other than that, the process is simple and will just require that you book the shipment in advanced (preferably a month) and that you have the availability to be there for both the pickup and delivery of your vehicle.
What else you need when you ship a financed car
If you are trying to ship a car to or from Hawaii that you are financing, you will need everything that was mentioned above but you will also need a copy of the lien agreement. You might also need other documentation from whoever holds the lien.
Keep in mind that the lien holder has the right to deny you shipping the car. If that happens then there will be nothing that you can do. However, that is not a likely possibility. If you are moving and/or relocating for work, that will make it the most likely that the lien holder agrees to allow you to ship your car. If the lien holder does agree to allow you to ship your car, getting the documentation that is required to ship will not be hard at all. In fact, if you have questions about this, you can always contact the car shipping experts at Hawaii Car Transport.

If you want to ship a car that you are financing to or from Hawaii, you will need to contact whoever holds the lien on the car in question and get the extra documentation that shows they agree to allow you to ship the car. That is in addition to the normal things you will need such as your license and your booking confirmation. Remember, it is not guaranteed that your lien holder will give you the permission that you need.
