How far ahead of the start of classes to schedule your shipment
Final word
Colleges in Hawaii
Hawaii has seventeen four-year colleges throughout the state. Of that number, ten are public and seven are private. Three are located on the big island, twelve are located on Oahu, one is located on Maui and one is located on Kauai. Fortunately, you can ship your car to any one of these islands.
Among the most notable colleges in Hawaii are the University of Hawaii which accounts for four of the seventeen schools listed above, Hawaii Pacific University, Brigham Young University and Chaminade University.
How far ahead of the start of classes to schedule your shipment
College classes in Hawaii are similar to college classes in the rest in the country in that the fall semesters start sometime in August and the spring semesters start sometime in January. Obviously, depending on the college and whether or not it is private or public, this can vary.
With this in mind, you need to consider the timeframe for shipping a car to Hawaii for college. Shipping a car to Hawaii from New York can take up to four weeks. Doing the same from Los Angeles can take up to three weeks. You should also make sure that you schedule your shipment at least a month in advance of the date that you want your vehicle picked up for shipping. The reason for that is the earlier that you book your shipment, the better chances you will have at getting the preferred pickup and drop-off dates for your vehicle.
This means that you should consider booking your shipment at least two months ahead of the start of classes. This will vary a bit depending on where you are shipping from but booking your shipment one month ahead of classes with a month’s notice (two months ahead of the start of classes total) is the safest bet for getting your vehicle to Hawaii in time for the start of the semester.
Final word
Having your car shipped to Hawaii for college can make life much easier for a student, especially if they are living off-campus. The process is more involved in terms of the actual logistics than a typical car shipment normally is but, thankfully, your car shipping company will worry about all of that. You just need to make sure that you schedule your shipment to be picked up a month ahead of the start of classes (give or take a week depending on the pickup location) and that you book the shipment one month ahead of your desired pickup date.
