Safe Transportation for a Single Woman
Gang,
I have someone who is travelling to HNL airport.
She is uncomfortable being in a taxi by herself. Does anyone have any suggestion for transportation options from HNL to a hotel? She is unsure of which hotel yet. Is there a hotel within 10 miles of HNL airport that offers a shuttle service? Public bus service? I seem to remember a public bus service there.
We always had a car when we were there... so was no help to her on this one...
Thanks in advance.
William

Transportation Link cockroached from an earlier thread originally posted by FlyinHawaiian:

Will direct you to many viable transportation options other than a cab (even though the original thread is about cab prices).
Hotels around the airport are pretty shabby... (e.g., The Honolulu Airport Hotel: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60982-d87017-Reviews-H onolulu_Airport_Hotel-Honolulu_Oahu_Hawaii.html) -- fortunately, complimentary airport shuttle is offered.
Hope this helps! Aloha

There is frequent shuttle van service (typ 16-24 people) to most Wikiki hotels for about $12RT or $8 OW. Call whatever hotel she will be staying at and they will give you the details. No reservatios needed from HNL (they are outside the baggage areas) but they desire 24 hr advance notice from the hotel to the airport.

I was just there a couple of weeks ago. One option for some hotels is the public bus, which I rode to Waikiki and back during a layover.
If she stops at the information counter in the airport, they can give her a bus map. It seems to run about every 20 minutes most of the day, and runs $2.00 each way. It went right past the Hilton Hawaiian Village and the Sheraton Waikiki, and can make stops at either.
That said, she would likely find a hotel shuttle more comfortable, convenient & easier to navigate, if one is available.

I was in HNL in Oct and called VIP Shuttle. They met me at the baggage claim and handled the baggage. There were 3 other drop off's, and the pleasant surprise was that he forgot to collect my fare after dropping me off. You can pay on line or call (like I did) the night before... 1-866-836-0317.
