it safe to park?
Many people are left wondering whether or not it’s even worth renting a car for their entire trip and paying to park it every night. The cost of renting a vehicle plus the cost of parking can be expensive, leaving many people to seek out an alternative option. Because vehicle transportation is required to visit some of Oahu’s famous sights in North Shore, Waimea Bay, Diamond Head and the famous Hanauma Bay, you’ll need a vehicle to get there.

While everyone wants to go on their dream vacation in Hawaii, some might not consider the problems that can arise at this vacation hotspot. Finding a place
fto park overnight can be a real
challenge.
It’s hard to find a place in Waikiki and Honolulu in general to park your
automobile during the day and even worse during the night time hours. Because of this, hotels
can charge up to $35 per night
or more for overnight parking. You may be able to negotiate a lower price with your hotel, but that is rare.
But sometimes your vacation travel reward points can be used for a reduced
rate or free parking.
There are several things to consider when parking your car overnight. Again the cost at
a hotel can be expensive.
Another alternative that is even more expensive is meter parking, which encompasses most of the parking in the city. Meter’s only let you put enough change in them for four hours
or less of legal parking, making a trip back inevitable if you plan on
being there overnight.
The
Ala Wai Canal area is a place you can park for free. There is other free street
parking scattered around the city, but there are signs posted for when you can
park and when you can’t. Probably not overnight. If you park where you're not
supposed to, expect to have your rental vehicle at least ticketed or worse yet,
towed away. You might have to walk far or eventually move your vehicle, which
is not ideal, especially at night. 
Garages
and lots are a good alternative. There are around 50 lots and garages in Honolulu, but not all operate 24
hours.
The price to park overnight in some garages and lots can be
more expensive than a hotel’s rate, and can be located too
far from where you're staying. The least expensive overnight garages charge as little as $8 for 10 hours of parking
between 5pm and 5 am. They are few and far between. The most
expensive garages can charge up to $4 per half hour
with a $75 maximum per day. With garage or meter parking, the likelihood of you finding
cheap place to park close to your hotel might be slim. 
No.
Though some rental car companies operate pay to park option at some
mainland airports, the rental companies in Hawaii will not allow you to use their lot
to park overnight, whether it be your personal car or even a
vehicle you rented from them.
Visitors will therefore seek out alternative options such as renting an
automobile right in Honolulu or Waikiki for the day and returning it
every night to avoid the costly overnight parking charges.
It's the perfect option for some people. It's exactly what
some cruise ship passengers do at each port they travel to.
Another perk to renting vehicles this way and not through an airport location is that you’ll save money.
