Great service! The guys that helped me were Zander, Chris, and William. They were quick, efficient, and very kind! I would definitely recommend and use them for any move!

HITCO just expertly moved us into our new Pahoa home. They were punctual, courteous and very professional, unpacking everything delivered, and making absolutely sure every single box and piece of furniture on the manifest was delivered undamaged. I’d highly recommend them for any move to or from the Big Island.
I first met up with Hitco shortly after I moved to Volcano on the Big Island. Anne was really accommodating since I called them last minute to help us move our belongings from a pod to our home in Volcano. The guys are great. They are personable, professional,
and fast, also very hardworking. Since that time I had 3 more pods coming in and I was able to get the guys at Hitco to help us once again. We got the same level of service and professionalism. They are good, honest local people who do what they can to accommodate you and help make moving so much less stressful. Mahalo to Anne and her crew! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Honolulu Movers is top notch! They called me as they were on their way and came on time. They had to go up and down four flights of stairs with no elevator carrying all of our large items with no complaints. They transported all of our stuff to the new location and got there very timely to unload and place all of our furnishings in our new apartment exactly where we wanted it. They also set up our bed. They had extra boxes and materials if we needed it. They were friendly and professional and a GREAT help. Prices were reasonable and they finished the job very quickly. They were able to do the job on a Sunday. Truly a great experience from start to finish, including the setting up the appointment and the confirmation call. I would DEFINITELY use them again if I need to. HIGHLY recommended!
I had a great time working with Honolulu movers. From the very beginning they were very flexible and accommodating. Coordinating strict elevator reservations in Honolulu high rises is not easy and Courtney was very patient even with multiple last min changes. My movers Dillon and Randan were very efficient. You can tell they have a lot of experience and their moving process is seamless. They took a lot less time than expected and took care of my furniture like it’s their own. Pricing was very transparent, no hidden fees or surprises. Will use this company for my future moves!

How to Choose a Moving Company in Kihei
🛡️ License and authority
If you’re moving a long distance across state lines, watch out for USDOT or MC numbers on the moving company website. If it is a local move or inter-island moving job, verify the mover is authorized to do business in Hawaiʻi. Choose companies that are fully licensed and insured.
📄 Insurance and valuation
Warehouses have basic insurance coverage for your belongings that is typically worth less than $1 or $0.60 per pound; full-value protection costs extra. Make sure you know what is covered and what full value protection costs; knowing the choices up front will alleviate anxiety in case there is a problem.
💰 Reliable estimates
For any moving job, you want a company who will survey your possessions in-person or through video call, an estimate without ever seeing the items is not a good sign. Expect comprehensive pricing that includes line items (stairs, long carries, etc.) and specify whether it is a binding estimate or not to exceed.
⭐ Reputation you can verify
Search online (Google, BBB) and with any available complaint history from public sources where you can find information about a company’s reputation. You are looking for consistent communication, on-time delivery, and the pricing is consistent with the quoted price.
📦 Scope and access
During the survey process make sure to point on any tight corners, stair sets that may be steep, elevators, or parking restrictions in the area of your future dwelling. Verify what services (packing/unpacking, crating, storage, disassembly/assembly of furniture, etc.) as well as time-frames for delivery.
🚚 Who does the work
You want trained in-house moving crews and company owned vehicles versus a rental or unknown subcontractors.
Our Team of Experts in Hawaii
At American Eagle Moving, our research team does the hard work for you prior to you ever booking a crew. The research team is led by Malia Factora, to vet Hawai’i movers for same-island, inter-island and mainland – Hawai’i routes by confirming they’re fully licensed and insured, verifying USDOT/MC and state authority, analyzing Google/BBB reviews and complaint history from various public sources, and confirming that services, crew training, and friendly, upfront pricing. The goal is simple: to prepare you a shortlist to help keep your move running smoothly, efficiently, on-time, and with utmost care.
We will continue refining our rankings, doing the stressful legwork of evaluating and vetting movers, so everything is pre-planned and organized ahead of your moving day and you will compare great options without any guesswork.
Our Methodology
We have taken an applied rubric to the island realities: same island, inter-island, and mainland-Hawai’i, with a priority on real outcomes to ensure the moves are as smooth as possible and as efficient as possible, on time, and with the utmost care.
- Customer Satisfaction: We evaluate recent consumer reviews and the complaint histories available in public sites to assess reliability by evaluating the crew’s timeliness, communication skills with the customer, and adherence to quoted prices. We also evaluate if the mover has any suggestions for a dispute-resolution procedure, and offers methods for valuing property in transit.
- Standard Services: A full-service move includes packing and unpacking the contents of one’s home, arranging for the transport of the contents of that home, arranging for storage, and all assembly of furniture—all of which are accomplished by professionals who understand how to adequately pack using the correct boxes and pads and bubble wrap.
- Reputation and Compliance: We confirm that our partners are properly licensed with insurance, whether by USDOT/MC for interstate moves, or the appropriate Hawai’i agency for in-state and inter-island moves. Trustual indicators are important, like a BBB A rating or ProMover rating, which help separate the best operators from the ordinary ones.
- Transparent Pricing: We prefer a clear and transparent pricing structure for each service. We require detail in the formation of detailed “checklists” to ensure transparency on costs, additional charges must be spelled out like steps, long carries, shuttles, elevator time, parking permits, fuel, port/drainage fees, barge fees, storage, etc.
- Pertinent Add-Ons: Those the companies present provide custom crating, vehicle and oversized handling, debris removal, and minimal-handoff options focusing on moving lives, not just things.
- Mover Type: We care about whether a company is a carrier or broker and/or owner/operators or subcontractors. We want a company-owned fleet, not rental trucks or some other method.
- Pricing transparency: Written, line-item estimates with accessorials (stairs, long carries, shuttles, fuel) and clear binding vs. not-to-exceed terms.
- Last, of course, we will only prioritize vendors that meet these criteria and can repeatedly deliver moves that exceed expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book a mover in Kihei?
The peak season is during the summer through early fall. For same-island moves, book 2-6 weeks out. Inter-island or mainland – Hawai’i moves will likely require more lead time. 8-12 weeks out is a better time frame to lock ocean space, port / drayage, and delivery windows. Last-minute is the option, but you will likely have tighter dates and increased costs.
How much will my move cost?
Local, same-island jobs are usually charged hourly, the total will depend on the crew size, access, and packing materials. Inter-island has additional fees, including barge and port fees. Mainland – Hawai’i moves include all of the ocean container costs / drayage and possible shuttles. Ask to see upfront, honest pricing that includes line items (stairs, long carries, shuttles, fuel, etc.), and a written not-to-exceed or binding price.
What should I look for when comparing Kihei movers?
Start with fully licensed and insured (USDOT/MC for interstate, Hawai’i authority for local/inter-island). Check Google; BBB and complaint history from public sources. Prefer an in-home/video survey over an estimated sight unseen. Ask about company owned vehicles vs. rentals, and if free estimates are available without obligation.
I am moving to/from a condo in Kihei. Should anything be considered?
Yes, please confirm proof of insurance for buildings, elevator reservation, parking permits, delivery windows, etc. Be sure to point out stairs, tight corners, and long carries during the survey. Also, ask the mover to include access details along with packing/unpacking and furniture assembly as part of their pricing to avoid any complications on move day, and keep it smooth and efficient.
What is different about inter-island or moving from the mainland – Hawaiʻi?
Timing all revolves around the ocean leg. Your mover should be outlining container schedules, port / drayage, barge connections, and if there are any shuttle trucks needed for Kihei. You will get an understanding of the pickup timeline, ship date, and a delivery window, thoughtfully orchestrated and meticulously organized beforehand, so that your timing is executed and your items are cared for with the utmost caution.
