Checked with my Dad who's lived in Hawaii on and off for 30 years and was
there most recently a couple years back:

 When we shipped the 2001 Olds mini van two years ago, it was $800. from
the port at Long Beach, Ca. You can drop it there and take a bus to the
airport. The rate has since gone up to $860. CSX lines is a little
cheaper than Matson. CSX, based in Dallas, Tx. tel #972 813-5954. Their
Honolulu tel # 808 842-1515. Either one can give you a more exact quote
and from what ports they serve. The shuttle bus from the pier to the
airport is from $15. to $20. on super shuttle tel. #800 258-3826. They
could quote you more exact rates and where to catch it. Keep in mind, our
move was a couple of years ago.
