O'ahu car rentals

While there is some public transportation available on the island of Oahu, most of it operates in the city of Honolulu. There is also some public transportation that will travel between other towns on Oahu to the city of Honolulu, but most of this public transportation is for commuters making the trip between the cities. If you are coming to Oahu to take part in some of the great outdoor adventures you will find here, especially if you have a larger group, you will most certainly need a great rental car to experience all this great island has to offer.

Driving on the island of Oahu in the state of Hawaii is not going to be much different than driving in any other state in the United States. One very important thing to keep in mind when you drive here, especially if you're coming from a larger metropolitan city with large interstate freeways and a lot of traffic, is to drive slowly and enjoy the scenery. Most drivers in Hawaii take their time getting from place to place, so just go with the flow and enjoy your drive. That said, make sure you do not get distracted by all the scenery that you will experience when you drive. It's a common mistake for visitors to spend too much time looking at the beautiful surroundings and not paying attention to where they are driving. Because Oahu can receive so much rain, be aware of lower visibility, slippery roads, and potential flooding and potholes while you drive in the rain.

On Oahu, most rental car companies will expect you to be at least twenty one years old to rent a car. If you are less than twenty five years old, you may incur an additional charge for your rental. People that are less than twenty five years old may have limits on the type of car they can rent. Additionally, if you want to use a debit card, you will most likely need to be at least twenty five to do so.
