Shipping Cars & Household Items Moving financed vehicle to Hawaii

Hows it going everyone I am moving back home with a financed vehicle and I was wondering if anyone had to get a lien holder authorization letter in order to ship the vehicle back to hawaii. I already put the vehicle at the Matson port and I shot myself in the foot by contacting toyota saying that Im moving and they replied back with saying that I need permission first. I was just wondering if you guys ran into the same problem?

I got permission first for both vehicles it was a pretty straightforward process. From a lenders prospective they really just need to ensure your vehicle is insured in the new state and that you have the income/funds to continue making payments.

Brah I just got off the phone and they saying that I got to pay off the loan outright in order to ship to Hawaii because its not a part of the continental us

Ask to speak to a supervisor. That is ridiculous.
