Optional Accessories you pay for

Child Safety Seats:(Optional)

Sample child safety seat Child safety and booster car seats are required for children seven and younger. Families are obligated by law to use these car seats in their vehicles for both safety and legal reasons. Bring your own or reserve one with your Hawaii car rental. Hawaii law requires children under the age of four to ride in a child safety seat.

Hawaii law requires children ages four through seven to ride in a child safety seat or a booster seat when traveling in a motor vehicle. The driver will be held responsible for compliance with the law. Violators of the law are required to attend a 4-hour class and may be assessed a fine of $100-$500 depending upon the number of offenses.

When children outgrow child restraints with a harness, between 40 and 65 lbs. depending on seat weight limit, they should be restrained in a booster seat until they are big enough to fit in an adult seat belt (approximately 80 lbs. and 4'-9' tall). More details on Child Passenger Safety.

GPS Navigation:(Optional)

Car Rental GPS Navigation If you're renting a car in Hawaii and don't know the area then you'll definitely want to consider all GPS navigation options. There are daily and weekly GPS rates. Most locations provide GPS devices as an option. GPS is a must have option in unfamiliar territory. You'll be glad you sprung for the added expense, especially if you get lost and don't know where you're going, or need to get somewhere fast and don't want to take the time to look at a map, not to mention even trying to find a map to purchase.
