Aulani Transportation Advice

[KaystotheKingdom]

We will be making our first trek to HA Feb 11-17 of 2026.

There are 5 of us in my immediate family, 3 of which are kids 10,7, and 2.

Our larger travel group is 11 total with 2 other children 4 and 3.

I really don’t know if she should go the route of renting 2 vehicles or planning shuttles. For excursions we are doing Pearl Harbor and Kualoa Ranch (Haven’t booked yet because we need to figure out the transportation piece)

For those that have travelled with littles before, would you rent a car or make alternative plans? Car seats are always the biggest pain point.

Thanks for the insight.

Our first trip, we rented a car. The convenience was good but we didn't use it everyday. We will be there again in March and are hiring the shuttle through Aulani. Parking each night is $40 and one way per person for the shuttle is $25. So it will be a good savings in our situation because we will not use a car everyday (maybe three or four out of the nine days), so we will rent a car at the front desk for each day. I don't know if that service is available as a walk up service, we added a rental car package to our reservation.

In your situation, I would hire a shuttle from the airport and then rent a car from Aulani for just the days that you want it.

Rent a car via Costco travel you can get it dirt cheap it’s worth having a car there is so much to do

We rented a car. For me Kualoa is rather far to do a ride share.
