Need some help shipping a Land Rover

Hi

From Long Beach to Honolulu, you will have two choices: Matson or Horizon. I think that they are both about the same cost and provide essentially equivalent service. There has been some discussion that Horizon is better because they put the cars in containers, but Matson is RoRo and the cars are not on the weather decks, so I am not convinced that there is much difference. There is also the option to go by air, but that is likely not in your program.

For the Houston to Long Beach leg, I have nothing useful to contribute other than to say it sounds like a great opportunity for a road trip!! When I drove across country, I really enjoyed the Arizona and New Mexico desert. It was winter time and the weather was cool and clear and many of the cactus were in bloom. It was beautiful.

 

I used Horizon to ship my car (an Audi) out just a few weeks ago. Had no mistreatment of the car, additional miles or any other problems.

 

Another option is Pasha Hawaii - they operate a RoRo ship from San Diego; same price as Matson & Horizon. Have used them for exotics, very good job.

 

Hi

It is a small world. I have a long time friend that used to live here and now lives in Plano. Without going to Google maps to check, I think that Plano is outside of Houston. He is an Abarth fan and he still owns the very first Ferrari that I owned (250 GTE). He comes over once or twice a year and we go to Zippy's for lunch and conversation.

Please, stop by and say "Aloha" next time you are in Hawaii.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your father-in-law.

 

Plano is north of Dallas

I was just there last weekend.

 

OOOPS! Thanks for setting me straight. Although I violate it daily, one of my guiding principles is: It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt. Besides, what does a couple hundred miles amount to in a state the size of Texas?......;>)

Here's a shot in the dark. You wouldn't be the Arupt Gupta of Click and Clack, Car Talk fame would you???

 

I've used Matson out of Seattle with no problems.
