Some rental companies will rent to those 21 and under but many will charge an extra young driver's fee or will offer a limited vehicle selection.
Hawaii has pretty strict rules on where you can park up overnight and sleep in public areas so it's best to plan your route in advance and find some designated RV sites and campgrounds along your journey.
If you go with rental companies like Outdoorsy or RVshare you will have the opportunity to talk to local owners who might have some insider knowledge!
It's always worth asking if they know any secret spots, hidden gems or lesser-known campsites that you can park up at!
Absolutely! Hawaii has so much to offer for those choosing to explore via motorhome.
With heaps of well-maintained campsites and RV parks scattered around you won't struggle to find great road trip itineraries around the state.
That being said, it isn't the best for larger vehicles as Hawaii has limited land availability with lots of narrow and windy roads in the more remote locations.
If you plan your route well, you can have an epic road trip in Hawaii!
The roads around Hawaii are not as well developed as you will find on the mainland. Many are windy, small and often just dirt tracks especially those leading up to beaches!
A few RV rental companies in Hawaii will state that you can not take them off-road, especially for larger vehicles.
It's best to plan your route in advance so you can stick to the larger roads.
Of course!
Hawaii has some stunning landscapes and scenery just begging to be explored!
