Taxes can vary by location and certain taxes are location specific. Your emailed paperwork will include all charges associated with the rental you requested. If the State of Hawaii or a specific county makes a tax rate change after you make a reservation but before your arrival, your reservation will be adjusted. This is rare but has happened in the past.

Hawaii state law requires that all children under the age four be restrained in a federally approved child safety seat. The current law requires that children ages four through seven ride in a booster seat or car seat any time they are in a vehicle. The only exceptions are for children taller than 4’9″ or those riding in vehicles with lap-only seatbelts in rear seats.
Hawaii’s law advises that children who have outgrown harnessed car seats (those who weigh between 40 and 65 pounds) should use a booster seat until they fit an adult seatbelt properly. This typically occurs when a child is at least 4’9″ tall and weighs at least 80 pounds.
Worried about charging? Don’t be. Hawaii is equipped with numerous charging stations, conveniently located in major cities like Honolulu on Oahu, Maui, and Kona. Plus, many hotels and resorts offer charging facilities, making it easy for you to power up and keep exploring.
Unfortunately, the seats are only available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Which makes it challenging to plan a trip with children. Our partners have been doing it this way for as long as we can remember. We are not aware of any places that you can reserve child seats. If this information changes, we’ll update it here.
We are no longer able to request a specific color from our car rental partners. Thank you for your understanding.
We are able to offer Child Safety Seats and GPS equipment. All additional equipment is subject to availability and should be requested at the rental counter.

At off-airport locations, locals may be asked for at least 2 additional forms of identification that may include proof of your address, they may need to be a certain age (possibly 25 years or older). Some exceptions may apply, and it is important to read the fine details as you book your vehicle.
