Did you rent a car when you came to Hawaii? Was it worth it?

@terranleadr 3 жыл бұрын

My girlfriend and I are going next week! We rented a car, and we hope it'll be worth it!

@princessleia1633 3 жыл бұрын

We’ve been to Oahu twice back in 2016 and 2017. We used taxi to and from airport. We rented a car for 2 days out of 7 days during those vacations to explore other places. In Maui 2021, we rented a Jeep for the whole week of our vacation which is a must! Curious. Does Oahu have Uber or Lyft for airport to hotel transport? Are they less expensive if there’s any? We’re planning to go back there at Christmas. Mahalo.

I just left Oahu Sunday. I did have a rental car thru enterprise near the airport.It was a Nissan Sentra and it was less than $700 for 8 days. I’m very glad we had it. Made it to some very beautiful places.

My wife and I rented a car and it was definitely worth it. We were staying on the east shore of Oahu and we made it around the entire island, so much to do.

I just wanted to say thank you, we just got back our vacation on Oahu and your videos helped us a ton on planning our vacation. We had a wonderful time, a vacation of a life time, and your video helped us do that! We stayed at HHV and used tour buses, or Uber the entire time. We saw the Polynesian center, pearl harbor, a tour of the north shore, swim at Waimea falls, dinner cruise, aloha stadium swap meet, etc! Out of the 7 days we only had 2 days to relax on the beach. That being said we saved a ton of money considering a compact rental in Oahu is currently $300 a day plus $60 parking per night. Two upsides you missed of using tours is #1 while on a bus you get to enjoy the scenery, and views instead of paying attention to the road, and traffic. #2 all the tour drivers we had where a wealth of knowledge, and history on our tours, we learned a ton from them which turned it from just a drive, to a interesting learning experience, and gave us a more enjoyable experience!

The last time I was on Oahu was February/early March 2020. I went on a couple of tours (Kaneohe sand bar and an Island tour) but typically, I got an Uber of Lyft to go to places like Kailua/Lanikai Beach or Koko Head trail, and pink Pillbox hike. Compared renting a car and parking fees, gas (and the hassle of finding a parking spot at your destination) I found Uber/Lyft to be very competitive, if not cheaper, and more relaxing.

@JazzyLnae 3 жыл бұрын

Renting a car is sooo worth it! Parking can be expensive but its worth renting for at least a couple days to see other parts of the beautiful island. Traffic is not that bad in Hawaii compared to where I live (DC area), but that depends on where you’re coming from.

@Livingtheglobe 3 жыл бұрын

I totally agree!

@icanduo 3 жыл бұрын

Right now medium size car cost up to $300/day and van is up to $600. Uber wait can be an hr at the airport. Uber/Lift charge double if not more currenty. It's all due to rental car shortage. Even scooters are all being rented out. I feel lucky to rent a car from Turo for $120 a day. It's crazy but happening right now. If anyone plan to visit Hawaii in May you should go and check!

Hi guys, I love your videos. I am a new subscriber and I am planning a family trip to Hawaii. Good information, easily understandable and very good quality of the videos. I want to give you a tip, if you subtitle your videos in Spanish you would gain thousands of subscribers, we are many Latinos in the USA who want to visit Hawaii and there is not much valuable information like the one you offer in our language. Keep growing.

@Livingtheglobe Жыл бұрын

I find it difficult to know how much something costs because the price keeps changing. So, I look at different options to see which one is cheapest. I book it without paying and keep looking for a better deal. If I find something better, I cancel the first booking and go for the better deal.
