Savvy travelers are looking for any chance to save a few dollars and the first place that they look is to skip a rental car. Not only does this save you money on actually renting the car, but it also saves you money with hotel parking fees. Though a rental car is a great luxury to have, allowing you to come and go as you please, parking rates can be over $20 per day, and if you drive somewhere, you have to contend with paying for more parking and the hassle of finding where you’re going.
Hawaii has many alternatives to renting a car, allowing you to see the island and save a lot of money in the process. When you book one of the exciting tours or activities on HawaiiDiscount.com, transportation is included, so you will not need to worry about a car that day, and you’ll get to see the island during your drive to your destination.
There are many other alternatives to renting a car that will get you to where you want to go, and save you even more money in the process.
Public Transportation
Over the last few years, Oahu has been developing a rail system, but until that is finished, and on neighbor islands, TheBus is the way to go. Hawaii’s transit system has been awarded many times as the top public transportation system in the country, and once you’ve taken TheBus, you’ll see why. You can get anywhere you want just by paying the low fare and grabbing a transfer ticket.
Ride Sharing
As with any popular destination, and really anywhere in the country, Hawaii features the popular ride sharing options like Uber and Lyft. If you’re looking to go somewhere, log onto your app and order a ride.
Taxi Cab
The old fail-safe is a taxi, and while there are more affordable options, a cab is the preferred method of travel for many. There are plenty around the airports and in popular areas like Waikiki, and you can always call and request a cab from a local company.
Moped
You’ll see plenty of mopeds buzzing around, and they’ll likely cause you to do a double take. Many riders forgo the helmet and zip through traffic. Some riders are responsible and respect the rules of the road. These are very affordable options for getting around, and you can rent a moped for a day just to give yourself options.
Walking
If you aren’t going too far, just walk! There is so much to see and walking is actually a very popular form of transportation in Hawaii. Walk through Waikiki, along the beachside sidewalks of Lahaina, or through downtown Honolulu and you’ll see so many amazing sites. Plus, it’s free, so you can’t go wrong with that.
