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!

Everything from communication leading up to the move and the delivery of the last piece was great. Jane answered all my questions on the phone, and the team of Koa, Landon, and Liko took great care in moving my things. They also made sure that my door would not get scratched and they laid padding on the floor.
They started out really fast, but then as the move went on, the pace got a little slow and the move ended up taking a lot longer than what was quoted. However, I prefer slow and careful over fast and careless. Not a single thing was damaged, including a 300 pound all glass cabinet. Part of the reason the move took long was I have a lot of smaller furniture, and they took the time to wrap things very carefully with blankets and shrink wrap. The crew was very easy to work with and would definitely recommend using them.
Thank you, Jane, Kirk, Elgene, and Lala!
It was a seamless destaging move! As a Realtor, I truly appreciate that they get it; they’re team players who help make the moving process smooth.
I absolutely love working with Jane!! She’s diligent, responsive, professional, friendly, and always accommodating when it comes to scheduling my moves.
Thank you, Malama Movers!

Royal Hawaiian did a great job packing up our home! The whole moving team was respectful and courteous. They showed plenty of care for our things/home, while still being extremely efficient. Overall it was a very thorough job and a pleasant experience for us!
We used Royal Hawaiian movers to move from California to Honolulu in June 2025. They connected us with a local mover in California that was excellent, and then took care of everything on this side of the move. We had to store our belongings for a couple months, and that was not an issue and not expensive. The team moving in was excellent and very efficient. Communication with the front office during the entire process was very good. I would recommend them for any move.

How to Choose a Moving Company in Maui Island
🛡️ 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 Maui?
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 Maui 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 Maui. 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 Maui. 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.
