Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Hawaii
- Seasonal conditions
The Central Pacific hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and because freight and vehicles reach the islands by ocean, storms can delay sailings and harbor operations.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
