Renting a car in Oahu 

On the island of Oahu, if you are planning to spend most of your time in the Waikiki area, renting a car is not a good idea. Parking space is very limited, expensive and difficult to find.

It is a different story if you want to visit the rest of the island because public transportation, even though it is very good and reliable, is also very slow.

If you are planning to rent a car for your complete stay, make sure your hotel has parking (yes there are some that don't) and if so, what will be the extra cost to park your vehicle there since most hotels in Waikiki charge extra for it. The extra cost of parking is another factor that you may want to consider in choosing your hotel. Keep in mind that parking is on a "first come first serve" basis, therefore the fact that the hotel has parking doesn't mean that it will be available when you arrive. Parking stalls can not be booked in advance and Waikiki has practically no street parking.

Transportation on the neighbor islands

Renting a car on the neighbor islands is a must, unlike Waikiki, the only place in the neighbor island that does not require a car to move around is within your own hotel. Shuttles from airport to hotels are not easy to come by and cost as much as some car rental companies charge per day and taxies are definitely expensive considering that there is anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes drive from airport to the hotels.

Valuables in the car

Fortunately we don't have a big problem with crime in Hawaii but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be alert.

Under no circumstance should you leave any valuables in the car, including hidden in the trunk or under the seat. Also be alert at all the lookouts where you normally "step out of the car for a minute to take a picture."

If you plan to visit the Arizona Memorial, be advised that no purses, bags, backpacks, baby strollers or even camera cases are allowed, that means that you would have to leave those things in the car, which of course is not a good idea.

If you arrive before 3:00 pm or depart after 12:00 noon, you may be inclined to keep your luggage in your car until you check in either at the hotel or the airport. That is not a good idea. Most hotels will be happy to hold your luggage for a few hours before you check in or after you check out and it is a lot safer that way.

Seat Belts

By State Law, all front passengers of a car must use seat belts. We recommend that seat belts be used by all passengers, front and rear.

Child Seats

By State Law, all children must travel in the back seat of the car restrained by a seat belt and those under seven years of age must use a child seat at all times during the trip.
