When my wife and I went to Oahu for out honeymoon, we thought it was absolutely insane that anyone would rent a car while visiting the place. They have a free bus system that shuttles you around the down town area, and there are loads of tours that can get you to the regular hots spots that everyone wants to visit.

This is okay if you're a tourist traveling between popular tourist spots. As a local, taking the bus 10 miles from home to work would take me at least an hour and half to two hours, verus 40 minutes in a car.

Or 30 minutes on a bike (once you're fit)

The first time I visited Hawaii, I think I might have gotten away with not renting a car. However, the more I visit, the more I find myself driving places. Visiting relatives while I am there also requires a car.
