Car rental in Oahu

Les transports en commun d'Oahu (TheBus) sont étendus mais lents -- le trajet en bus de Waikiki au North Shore peut prendre 90 minutes. Une voiture de location vous permet de parcourir toute la boucle côtière de la Kamehameha Highway, d'atteindre Hanauma Bay (réservation préalable requise), de suivre les vagues à Pipeline et Sunset Beach et d'explorer la côte au vent à votre rythme. Des parkings sont disponibles sur la plupart des plages et trailheads. Aucun ferry inter-îles n'opère depuis Oahu -- les déplacements entre îles se font uniquement par avion.

Questions fréquentes

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.
