Which one

Which airport transfer is right for you

For your first Waikiki stay, the arrival SUV includes a meeting when you land. The ride costs from $140 per vehicle for up to 5. Meet at domestic baggage claim or international Exit 1. Your hotel must be on the list of hotels this ride serves.

For a couple heading to a cruise ship, Airport / Hotels Private Transfer's minivan costs from $80 per vehicle for up to 4. It takes up to 4 passengers. Your driver texts you the evening before pickup in HST. A greeting at baggage claim isn't part of the price.

For a family with young children, the departure minivan has infant seats you can book. The ride costs from $80 per vehicle for up to 5. Arrange the seats before you pay for the ride. Pickup is at your Waikiki hotel for your flight home.

For Ko Olina or a windward rental, get a quote for your exact address. 365 TOUR's SUV prices are for Waikiki hotels. A request for a custom pickup doesn't make that price apply to Kailua. Don't book at the Waikiki price if your address is outside the area it covers.
