Honolulu Airport Transfers

The main airport in Hawaii that serves as the gateway to the archipelago for most travelers is Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on Oahu.

The fastest and most convenient way to get to your hotel from the airport (or vice versa) is to hop on a shared or private transfer. I'll tell you about the options so you can choose the one that best suits you.

When you arrive at the airport in Oahu, Honolulu, after a long flight that leaves you exhausted, the last thing you want to do is to have to walk around the terminal carrying suitcases to find a free cab or look for public transport connections to get to your accommodation.

The best solution is to book a shared shuttle from Honolulu International Airport (HNL). It operates 24 hours a day, every day of the week and is a fairly inexpensive option, which is great if you're on a tight budget for your trip.

The day of your arrival at the airport, the transfer will pick you up along with the rest of the travelers and if you choose the lei option you will be welcomed Hawaiian style with a necklace of fresh flowers. They have a fleet of air-conditioned Mercedes vehicles with a maximum capacity of 12 passengers and enough space for luggage.

After a smooth and comfortable ride with a professional driver who knows the island inside out, you will be dropped off at the door of your hotel ready to begin your vacation.

The shared transfer round trip service is available for airport and cruise terminal pick-ups.

Another very interesting option to consider are the private transfers. Unlike the shared ones, you will not have to wait for other passengers at the airport to take you to the hotel, but you will have a vehicle and a driver at your disposal just for you and your group.

The private transfer is a simple, comfortable and fast way to get to your hotel on the island. In case you are traveling with your family or a group of friends, this is the best option if you are going to fill the 5 seats of the vehicle, since it will cost you a similar price to the shared transfer and you will be able to go together and in company.

It is also a good alternative if you are looking for the privacy that gives a vehicle just for you and the day of your arrival on Oahu you do not want to walk around the airport looking for a free cab or if you are not familiar with the public transport network and prefer not to make transfers because you are afraid of getting lost and you do not speak much English.

Regarding shared transfers, you can find basic options from almost 15 Euros but for a little more, I recommend you upgrade to this service to be greeted at the airport with a lei necklace of fresh flowers in the purest Hawaiian style. Let it be noticed that you are in Hawaii from the beginning!

As for private transfers, the price is usually higher compared to shared transfers in Oahu because it is a faster service, the driver will be entirely at your disposal and you will not have to share the vehicle with anyone.

As soon as you know the details of your flight to Honolulu you can book online one of these transfers to take you from the airport to your hotel from the airport. At the time of booking you will have to indicate the date of the transfer and the number of passengers that will travel in the vehicle.

You will also be asked for the name of the airline, the flight identification number and the destination address. In this way, the operator will have the information of your flight in real time and will be able to monitor it in order to inform the driver of any unforeseen event or delay so that he can wait for you at the corresponding departure gate.

When you land and have collected your luggage, the transfer driver will meet you and your group and place your luggage in the luggage compartment. You will then be driven to your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.

In the case of outbound transfers, you will need to provide similar information and the driver will pick you up at your accommodation to arrive at the airport well in advance.

The big difference between a private transfer versus shared or public transportation is that it is the most comfortable and fastest option to get to your hotel in Honolulu as soon as possible because you will not have to share the vehicle with anyone or wait for other passengers.

In addition, the driver will give you exclusive attention. On the other hand, the price is usually higher than a shared transfer, which cost less money.

In principle, each passenger is allowed 2 suitcases and 1 carry-on bag to ensure that there is enough space in the vehicle, especially on shared transfers. If you have special needs for bulky luggage such as musical instruments or surfboards, it is best to write an email to make sure they are taken into account.

In private transfers there is usually more flexibility when it comes to carrying more luggage, as long as you let us know in advance so that the space on board the vehicle is foreseen.

Both shared and private transfer services are available 24 hours a day, every day of the week. When you make your reservation you will be asked for your flight details and the driver will take into account your flight status to calculate when you will land on Oahu.

As you can see, you have nothing to worry about and transfer services are especially interesting when you are traveling in the early morning and there is no public transportation service available.

At the time of booking, you will be asked to provide certain information about your flight so that the service operator can monitor it and be aware of any delays or unforeseen events in order to notify the driver.
