Transportation options in Hawaii include rental cars, taxis, Uber/Lyft, and public transportation. Depending on your itinerary, rental cars may be the most convenient and cost-effective option. Taking the bus or using a ride-sharing service may be better for shorter trips or if you plan to consume alcohol.
The estimated cost for rental cars in Hawaii vary depending on duration and location, but expect to pay around $50 to $150 per day. Taxis and Uber/Lyft prices are similar to prices in other major cities. Public transportation rates are based on distance and location, with prices ranging from $2 to $5 per ride.
If you have more time, consider adding a hike to the Manoa Falls Trail, visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center, or relaxing at the Lanikai Beach. If you have less time, consider skipping the Maui Road to Hana drive and instead exploring other areas of Maui, like the Iao Valley State Park or the Maui Ocean Center.
