About
So I've actually never been to Hawaii before! I'm from Australia and was living in San Francisco for many years, but in Nov 2020 (during the pandemic) I decided I should try to visit Hawaii at last. Here's any notes I find.
WARNING: This is early days, so I'm still building this article.
Tips for a Hawaii Trip
Traveling During Covid
From early 2020 until Oct 15, visitors had to quarantine for 2 weeks else face a ($5000 + 2 years in jail) fine. Yup they take it seriously! After Oct 15 2020, you can simply show up with a Negative COVID test result *BUT* it's not quite all that simple... the test has to be by an approved testing partner and within a certain time of your arrival.

Car Rental
It appears there are pretty resonable car rentals on most islands. You can use a service like Expedia to look across multile rental agencies and might get as good as ~$30 a day for a midsize SUV if you book a few days. You'll probably want a pickup and drop-off from the airport... so for instance for Maui you'd probably want Kahului Airport (OGG).
- Expedia - Car Rendals - Kahului, HI, OGG - ~$30 a night for a midsize SUV.
Accommodation
Depending on how long you stay, there can be a few good deals floating around. Instead of just using AirBnB, you should also try VRBO for Hawaii.
- VRBO Hawaii
- AirBnB Maui
- Other interesting options:
- Outdoorsy.com - you might be able to get a campavan for a good deal, but depending on the island you still pay extra to park it and there might be very few places to actually park it, which would suck, so do your research.
