* car rental on Oahu not necessary if they want to do the multitude of escorted tours available or use public trans. But, a car can be fun. Other islands. Yes, necessary.

* "luxurious" 4 star or higher hotel/resorts will be almost impossible to find for $150-200 a night on any island. But, there are some lower end options, hotels, rentals -- everywhere in that range.

* Yes, you might get a better price for air/hotel/car if you bundle with a package through an airline, broker or travel booking site.
