Car rental in Oahu

Oahus öffentliche Verkehrsmittel (TheBus) sind umfangreich, aber langsam -- die Busfahrt vom Waikiki zum North Shore kann 90 Minuten dauern. Ein Mietwagen ermöglicht es Ihnen, die gesamte Küstenrunde des Kamehameha Highway zu fahren, Hanauma Bay zu erreichen (Vorabreservierung erforderlich), Wellen bei Pipeline und Sunset Beach zu beobachten und die Windküste in Ihrem eigenen Tempo zu erkunden. Parkplätze sind an den meisten Stränden und Trailheads vorhanden. Keine Interinsel-Fähren von Oahu -- der Transport zwischen den Inseln erfolgt nur per Flugzeug.

Häufige Fragen

Do I need a car in Oahu?
For Waikiki-only trips, TheBus can cover most sites. But for Pearl Harbor, the North Shore, Ko Olina, Kailua Beach, and the Pali Highway viewpoint, a rental car is highly recommended. Oahu is large (1,545 sq km) and bus journeys to the North Shore take 90+ minutes. A car unlocks Pearl Harbor plus Sunset Beach in the same day.
When should I book a rental car in Oahu?
June through August is peak season with school holidays -- book at least 3-4 weeks ahead. December and January are also busy. Oahu has a well-known car shortage problem in peak periods; booking far in advance is the most important advice. September and early October are ideal: lower demand, lower prices, and you can often book 1-2 weeks ahead.
Should I have a car for my entire Oahu stay?
If you are staying exclusively in Waikiki, a car for just one or two day trips may be more cost-effective than renting for the whole stay. Waikiki parking is expensive (USD 40-60/night at most hotels). Consider a car for 1-2 day trips only -- do Pearl Harbor plus North Shore on one day, Ko Olina or Kailua on another.
Where is the cheapest place to pick up a rental car in Oahu?
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) has the most agencies and competitive rates, but add 2-3 hours for the first day to collect the car from the consolidated rental facility. Off-airport agencies in Waikiki and Honolulu can be cheaper but availability is more limited. Avoid hotel valet partnerships which charge high premiums.
