Tips for renting a car in Honolulu

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Honolulu including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on December 12, 2024.
  • Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) serves as a major transportation hub in Honolulu, and so those visiting the region will arrive at the airport before embarking on their Island trips or tours. The airport has a 5-story Consolidated Rental Car Facility housing 10 car rental providers, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Thrifty, and SIXT. The car rental facility can be accessed through its entrances opposite Terminal 2, across from the baggage carousels 26 and 31. The distance from baggage carousel's 19-31 is walkable, but if you're arriving from carousels 6-11 at Terminal 1, 16-18, at Terminal 2, and Terminal 3, you'll need to board the rental car shuttle to the car rental facility.
  • Renting a car in Honolulu will give you a chance to discover a multitude of captivating attractions. With a rental car, you can access the golden sands and turquoise waters of Waikiki Beach, ideal for swimming, surfing, or simply basking in the sun. You can also drive up to Diamond Head State Monument, an ancient volcanic crater that offers breathtaking views of the city and coastline beyond the beaches. When driving to the North Shore, you will encounter the world-famous Banzai Pipeline and Sunset Beach, both of which have massive waves and elite surf competitions. A rental car will also give you the opportunity to tour Pearl Harbor and pay homage at the USS Arizona Memorial, a poignant symbol of World War II's history.
  • Adhere to these directions to drive from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport to downtown using a rental car. Once you have completed the required documentation at the airport's Rental Car facility and picked up your rental vehicle, exit the airport. Follow the signs to H-1 E (Interstate H-1 East) as you depart the airport. This is the primary highway connecting the airport and downtown Honolulu. The average travel time is around 10 to 15 minutes, subject to traffic conditions.

Car rental FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Honolulu, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on December 12, 2024.
  • What's the best way to navigate Honolulu?

    Using a GPS device and Google Maps to navigate Honolulu is the most effective way to get around the city. While a GPS device can provide real-time directions without an internet connection, it may lack the most recent traffic information and alternate route options that Google Maps provides. Google Maps, on the other hand, is dependable and frequently updated, offering accurate directions and real-time traffic reports. It also provides reviews, ratings, and photographs of renowned attractions, making it useful for discovering new locations. It is advised to use a GPS device due to its convenience and offline capabilities, but also to have Google Maps as a fallback for real-time traffic updates and more comprehensive information.

  • What is the minimum age to rent a car in Honolulu?

    Usually, the minimum age to rent a car in Honolulu, Hawaii, is 21 years old. It is essential to note, however, that car rental suppliers frequently have varying policies and may impose additional fees or restrictions on drivers ages 21 to 25, as young drivers are viewed as a group with a greater risk, so they incur additional fees. Some car rental providers may impose a "young driver surcharge" or restrict the sorts of vehicles young drivers can rent. It is always advisable to contact your rental car supplier directly to confirm their age restrictions and policies, so you can plan your trip accordingly.

  • What are the conditions of the roads in Honolulu?

    In general, the roads in Honolulu are well-maintained, but they are also subject to intense traffic congestion. The majority of the major roads are well paved and have distinct lane markings and signage. The city invests in routine road maintenance and restorations and frequently resurfaces major routes to ensure driving safety. However, given Honolulu's high population density and sizeable tourist population, traffic congestion is a common issue. During rush hour and holidays, major roads can become congested, causing commuters to experience delays and driver frustration. To reduce traffic, the city has implemented a number of measures, including expanding road capacity and enhancing public transportation options.
