Effective 8 November 2021, Non-U.S. citizens traveling directly Hawaii from another country must show both vaccination records and a negative COVID test results (NAAT or antigen) within three days of boarding a flight to the U.S. This applies to ALL over the age of 2. Ages 2-17 are exempt from the requirement to be vaccinated but negative COVID testing result still applies with the child having to follow the 'vaccinated (72 hours)' or 'unvaccinated (24 hours)' stream according to their actual vaccination status.
U.S. citizens flying directly to Hawaii from an international destination have two options:
Note: Tests do NOT have to be done with Trusted Travel Partners under the new international federal requirements, but they MUST be done with a Trusted Travel Partner for unvaccinated domestic travel.
International passengers entering the U.S. from another state or territory will be treated as domestic travelers when entering Hawaii.

I just rented a car for a week from Dollar Rental Car- from May 20.
This is what is says are the terms and conditions on the reservation on its web site:
*Important Location Info
Per the State of Hawaii’s Safe Travels Program, rentals only allowed to people not subject to quarantine. A QR code from your Safe Travels Hawaii account must be shown at the location upon pick-up of the vehicle. For more information, refer to: https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel/
I guess that provision on my reservation on the dollar rental car web site is obsolete?
