Rules may be different between outlets, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.

What side of the road do you drive on in Hawai?
If you hop behind the wheel in Hawai, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission if you haven't driven on the left before.

Where can I find a Hawai car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Hawai rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
