Keep reading for a closer look at these incredible sights, and how to drive to them.<\/p>\n

Finding a rental car in Oahu<\/b><\/h3>\n

Rental cars are one of the most popular ways to explore the Hawaiian Islands thanks to their convenience and accessibility. Rental services can be found all over the state, and renting a car in Oahu<\/a>\u00a0can be done from the moment you land in Honolulu Airport. Visitors have a wide choice of vehicles ranging from SUVs and minivans, to economy cars. Once you get your rental, you can immediately start your trip up on the North Shore, or explore what’s beyond city life by taking the approximately 96-mile circle tour around the island, which allows you to drive around most of Oahu in one day. The requirements for finding a rental car in Oahu are relatively flexible. You’ll need a valid driver\u2019s license if you are a U.S. citizen, along with an International Driver\u2019s Permit (IDP) if you are not.\u00a0 Visitors to the U.S. must secure an IDP<\/a> prior to their arrival to avoid any complications. Otherwise, rental car payment is often done using a credit card and the rates tend to fluctuate between seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
