We do recommend renting a car while on the Big Island of Hawaii. There is a lot of ground to cover and most of the Big Island activities and Big Island tours do not offer transportation. Hawaii Travel Network offers car rentals at the lowest prices. This also helps you decide what to do when booking and planning your Big Island vacation.
