 | | Rent a Car in Kona - It's Easier and Cheaper than you Think! | | | Even though many visitors to Hawaii want to go surfing or sailing, cars don't necessarily come equipped to carry your gear, so it's best to book in advance if you want a roof rack or if you have other special considerations.
As the Big Island is really quite small, you can drive pretty much anywhere on it. However you should watch out for the strong winds and storms that sometimes hit the island and cause delays.
Because of concerns about protecting the islands' fragile habitats, no off-road driving is permitted anywhere in Hawaii, even though four wheel drive vehicles are available for hire. If you are driving at night, remember that you are in a wild place and watch out for the black pigs which often wander across the roads after dark. There is minimal street lighting so you will need to exercise common sense, but if you're careful you'll find that driving in the Kona area is a beautiful experience. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
