I don't think you'll need to rent a car to get around Honolulu because of the very good bus system, but if you want the peace and quiet of the beautiful beaches on the coast, I recomend renting a car. We rented from a local place Tradewinds ($26/day) and we were very pleased. I am not sure how that price compares to the rest of the rental companies. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

I tried to rent some cheapo car but they gave me a free upgrade to a Jeep Wrangler. I am very glad that they did. The Jeep I rented made my trip so much more enjoyable. It was convertible so I was able to drive around with the top down and enjoy the excellent weather and the stars at night.
It also had 4-wheel drive and that helped me to go all over the island without worrying about getting stuck. But the best of all, many locals like to drive off road, borderline street illegal, trucks and Jeeps. If you want to be the envy of the locals you can certainly make a good impression with a Jeep.
One of the more memorable interactions I had on my trip was while driving. I was at an intersection when another Jeep, nearly identical to mine, drove past in the other direction. The driver was certainly of the local variety but he gave me a nod in approval of the vehicle I was driving. Leave a Comment

Hey, you're in paradise, right? Do yourself a favor and spring for a convertible. All the rental car agencies have them and if you're lucky you may be able to get a free or cheap upgrade. They are usually in demand but if you go during a slow time, you just may get a deal. Yes, it does rain almost every day in Hawaii but it's usually for only a short period. I can almost guarantee that you'll be able to drive around with the top down at least once a day.
At the very least get a car with a sunroof! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Rent a special car. They have many places who rent out Ferrarri, Lamborgini's and Porche's. Its expensive, but why not try to be 'playboy for a day'. I did.... This is from Paradise rent a car in Waikiki. We rented a Corvette. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

By Airplan. I think its about 5 our flight from the mainland (California).
Getting around the Island, I guess its best to do it the American way; by car. Why dont do like us; rent a vette! It was kind of expensive, but fun (USD 400 - 24 hrs, all inclusive). If you can manage with an ordinary car they had offers like USD 120 for a Mustang convertible for 3 days. I think you will be charged extra for insurance and milage. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

i think the best way to see whole hawaii is to drive. ITs not a big island so you can see the whole island if you drive 3 hours . Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Make sure when you take a picture from the car, that you get yourself in the picture also. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Rent the car of your dreams for a day. Great place to cruise around in a convertable or a Jeep Wrangler. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Flying business or first would be preferable to the 'cattle class'! It is a long flight.....if you have frequent flyer bonuses....USE THEM!!!
Driving can be a pain during rush hours, but it gives you the most freedom! For sure, rent a convertible! You will be so happy that you did!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

If you're staying in Waikiki, I recommend hiring a car for 1 day and doing a self-tour around the island. I couldn't afford to hire a car, so took a tour instead. It was alright, but of course I was dying to stay longer some places, dying to skip other places and dying to stop some places the bus totally bypassed...
Taking TheBus around the island probably would have sent me crazy, it takes way too long for me :) Leave a Comment Theme: Other
