Correct. Also keep in mind that if you drive to Hana with luggage you will be better off with a trunk than an exposed luggage compartment. Parking lots along the Road are notorious for vehicle break-ins as the thieves know that people will stop to hike for an hour, etc. So I recommend a sedan with a trunk if you plan to travel anywhere with your luggage (except to/from airport).
