Anyone know when this fee comes into effect? No way around it I suspect?
KOA rentals.
Need to fall upon a BIG discount code at this point.
According to this article, the fee starts September 2010 at multiple Hawaii airports.

Interesting that your reservation is at KOA, since the article only mentions HNL, LIH, OGG, and ITO.

For HNL rentals, many of the rental agencies have locations in and near Waikiki that won't charge the fee.
