Moving to Hawaii could be a dream come true and a step closer to paradise. Life in Hawaii, on the other hand, will necessitate some preparation. You must first decide which island you want to relocate to and how much housing space you will require. Finally, you'll require funds.

Reduce Your “Stuff” Load

Rent a storage unit and fill it with your favourite furniture, dishes, and appliances if you're not sure about moving to Hawaii. On your move to Hawaii, sell or donate anything you don't want to store, and only bring weather-appropriate clothing, personal electronics, and toiletries.

You may be able to load your vehicle with gear if you choose to ship it. However, shipping your fragile items or electronics in your vehicle is not a good idea; extreme temperatures, humidity, and rattle can cause problems you don't want to deal with.

 

Build Up Savings

Living in Hawaii is not inexpensive. Travelling with children may necessitate the search for a private school once they arrive. You'll probably feel more secure about your finances if you or your partner can move while working remotely. Savings, on the other hand, will make it much easier to settle in.

If you plan to sell your current home before moving to Hawaii and buy a new home on the island of your choice, consult your accountant to ensure that you can transfer the proceeds from your mainland home to your island home without incurring any tax liabilities.

 

Ship Your Vehicle

There is a bus service on Oahu, but the public transportation on the rest of the islands is not ideal. Relying on a Hawaii car shipping service can save you a great deal of hassle. If you don’t yet own a four-wheel-drive vehicle or something with decent clearance, now is the time to trade in your sedan or minivan.

There are many lovely places in Hawaii that can’t be reached on a well-paved road. Tow costs can be extremely expensive. If you’re not sure which vehicle is best, rent a car while on a scouting trip to see which roads are off-limits. Your favourite child-friendly ride may not survive a family outing to a popular beach or hiking trail. A move to Hawaii is a great time to upgrade your ride.

 

Move With A Job

Finding work on one of the Hawaiian islands frequently necessitates relocating first before applying for jobs. Potential employees who plan to relocate to Hawaii but never show up have been a frequent source of information for Hawaiian employers. Keep your current job if you can work remotely until you can settle into your island home, then go job hunting if you need in-person work.

Of course, the pandemic had a negative impact on the Hawaiian economy. Unemployment rates, on the other hand, are decreasing as the world progresses. You might be able to find really good deals on an apartment or a rental house until the end of 2022.

 

Rent a Furnished Place

Don't pay to have your furniture moved to Hawaii unless you're certain you'll be staying. As previously stated, Hawaii is an expensive destination. While there are many free activities on the islands, groceries, rent, and some utilities will be more expensive than in the United States.

When compared to the cost of moving your furniture from the mainland, the difference between renting an empty apartment and renting a furnished apartment on most of Hawaii's islands is negligible. You might be able to rent a single room for a while until you figure out which island is best for you if you're moving to Hawaii to look for a home for you and your family. Don't get too attached to the idea of bringing your favourite sofa or side table; it might not end up being worth the money.

On your trip to the islands, pack light. Examine the area where you intend to relocate to ensure that you and your family are in the best possible situation. Pay close attention to the available schooling options and consider allocating funds for your children's private education. Invest in a car that meets your travel requirements and ship it to your new location.
