The islands are pretty easy to get around on. There are major roadways that will take you along beautiful coastlines, to waterfalls, through rainforests, and even to a live volcano! When renting a car the rental agent will provide you with a map of the island. If you have any specific activities in mind ask the renal car agent to circle your destinations on your map. There are also maps with popular attractions noted in free guide magazines available at the airport, hotels travel desks, and on Waikiki curb sides. For more information contact Hawaii Aloha Travel.
A few items to have with you when going on an island driving adventure are: beverages, snacks, full tank of gas, tissue paper (in case the rest stop is out), map, proper clothing and footwear for each of your destinations, camera with extra film, and sunscreen.
International visitors to Hawaii will encounter difficulties when trying to rent a car if all they bring as a proof of a license is an International License and do not also bring their country issued license. An International License looks similar to a passport but is brown in color and has the persons country issued drivers license information translated into many different languages. The International License is only meant to be used to assist in translating the information on the license and is not in itself a valid drivers license. A valid country issued drivers license is still required in order to rent a car and without one you will not be able to rent a car. For more information contact Hawaii Aloha Travel
