Wednesday, January 19, 2011
Once you’ve planned you’re flights to Hawaii, then you’ve got to figure the logistics of getting around. Each island has some public transportation, but for the most part, they’re not designed to help tourists get around. So, most likely, you’re going to need a rental car for part or all of your vacation. You won’t have to spend a fortune on car rental if you use these 7 tips to help you save money on your car rental. A car of tourists explores Maui's famous Road to Hana. 1. Determine if you need a rental car for your stay. At first glance, that may sound like a silly idea, but you may not need a rental car at all. There are a couple of Hawaii vacation scenarios I can think of that will allow you to skip renting a car altogether. For example, if you are staying in Waikiki Beach, you can get away with not renting a car at all. And, when you don’t rent a car, you don’t have to pay for parking and gas. These two posts will help you determine if you need a rental car on your Hawaii vacation: Do I need a rental car if I stay in Waikiki Beach? Will You Need A Rental Car in Hawaii? (From Oahu, Maui, Kauai to the Big Island – Where a Rental Car is a Must.) 2. Rent the smallest car to suit your needs. Not only will the car rental cost less, but you’ll also save money on gas, which is good for your wallet and the environment. We’ve rented convertibles and Jeeps in Hawaii and they were kind of fun, but in our experience, they were not really worth the extra money. In addition, we discovered that Jeeps and convertibles are more likely to carry some unwanted “passengers” in Hawaii . We’ve had just as much fun in the economy cars as the fancier cars. 3. Use self-parking and avoid using valet services. Valets can be a convenience, especially at your resort check-in, but depending on the number of times you use the service, fees and tips can add up. After one of our our rental car was damaged by the Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch and Crab valet service in Honolulu in 2007, we’ve vowed to avoid valets when possible. That valet service ended up costing us an additional $250 that we didn’t bargain for. 4. Bring your own GPS. A GPS navigation system can really be a stress-saver on your Hawaii vacation . (Andy and I are convinced that our GPS navigation system has saved our marriage. ) The rental car companies will charge you $9.95 or more per day plus tax. 5. Snag a discount. It’s not too difficult to find discounts if you know where to look. Here are some ideas for getting the lowest rental prices: Use the bidding sites like Priceline.com and Hotwire.com. I’ve had friends that have gotten outstanding deals that way — like less than $20/day. Check your memberships for rental car discounts. For example, my alumni association passes along a rental car discount code. If you are a Costco, Sams Club, or BJs Warehouse member, definitely check their rates. I’ve gotten some great deals over the years through those memberships. Sometimes they’ll even add an extra perk like one extra driver at no additional cost. Before I share this next idea, I want to disclose that this company advertises on GoVisitHawaii.com. I check rates with Discount Hawaii Car Rental . As I’ve mentioned before , I don’t know how they do it, but they always seem to come up with the lowest rates to suit my personal preference . 6. Keep your belongings and your rental car safe. Avoid getting some unwanted and unexpected car damage with these strategies: Beware of falling coconuts , e.g., don’t park under palm trees. Make sure you are aware of Hawaii’s forbidden roads before you drive into a potentially dangerous situation. Never, never, ever leave anything valuable in your car. See A Friendly Reminder: Plan Ahead & Protect Your Valuables 7. Don’t wait until the last minute to book your car. Depending on when you visit Hawaii, demand for rental cars can be high. How high? Well, sometimes rental cars are completely sold out. See my article: Planning a Trip to Hawaii?

Wednesday, January 5, 2011
With just a little planning and a few strategies, you can save a pile of money on your vacation meals. Check out these seven practical ideas that will have your wallet saying thank you: 1. Limit/avoid the hotel breakfast buffets. I’d estimate that the average resort breakfast buffet costs $25 per person. For a couple on a week’s vacation, you could easily rack up a $350 bill (plus gratuity) on breakfast alone. Eeek! It’s a treat to enjoy the resort’s breakfast buffet on a limited basis to keep save some cash and calories, too! We fell in love with Safeway's cinnamon muffins with cream cheese icing on our first trip to Kauai. Now I’m not suggesting that you skip breakfast, however I recommend that you opt for for more cost effective breakfasts. Consider these alternatives: Ask if the hotel restaurant serves an à la carte breakfast menu. You’ll probably save $10 or more per person just by ordering off the menu. For example, instead of paying $25 for the macadamia nut pancakes and bacon that you want off the buffet, order that breakfast option from the menu for less than $15. In many cases, you’d also save money over the buffet option just by getting room service and enjoying breakfast from your lanai. It sounds decadent, but it’s true. Many Hawaii resorts have a coffee shop with fruit and pastries. Scope out your resort to see if they have a coffee shop or if there’s a shop nearby. Pick up some breakfast items at a local shop or bring them with you from home. We have brought packets of instant oatmeal with us several times. (Note: don’t bring any fresh fruit or vegetables from home, they’re forbidden by agricultural laws. See Be Prepared to Complete the Hawaii Agricultural Declaration Form .) 2. Eating la vida local. There’s two really simple ways to try Hawaii’s flavors while truly enjoying a slice of local culture. Go to a farmers market where you’ll find all kinds of ono grindz (good local food). No matter where you travel, the locals know where to find the best food at reasonable prices. So, find the locals’ favorite restaurants and bakeries. See this list of local favorite restaurants across Hawaii . Our sunset Waikiki Beach weinie roast was our favorite dinner on one of our Oahu visits. 3. Have a picnic. There’s plenty of great restaurants around Hawaii that tout sunset ocean views, but you can’t get any better sunset view than having a picnic on one of Hawaii’s golden sand beaches . You’ll pay around $30 per entree at the restaurants, but a picnic will cost much less. You can buy a lot of yummy picnic supplies for $30, can’t you? 4. The early tourist catches the restaurant deals. We almost always try to enjoy a sunset while having dinner in Hawaii. Being from the East Coast, we’re also fairly jet lagged, especially early into our Hawaii vacations. So, we’re normally ready for dinner at 5:30 or 6pm – just as the top restaurants are opening for dinner and right before sunset. We’ve found a number of very good restaurants across Hawaii that offer a special “sunset dinner menu” (e.g. “early bird menu”) or well-priced prix fixe menus. The catch is that you need to be seated by 6pm in most cases, but for us that’s not been an issue. To find these special restaurant deals and/or coupons, look in local newspapers, Hawaiian Airlines magazine, and those free coupon magazines in the baggage claim area of the airports. Here are some examples: Roy’s restaurants all across Hawaii offer a great three-course prix fixe menu for $36. We found a great three-course sunset menu from Pineapple Grill on Maui for $32. Sansei is one of our favorite restaurants on the Big Island, Maui and Oahu. They usually offer some sort special pricing for early or late dining. On Kauai, the Hukilau Lanai offers a special five-course dinner for $28 for food only or $40 with wine pairings. Planning your Hawaii vacation dinner around sunset is a rewarding experience. 5. Take advantage of the grocery stores, coupons and cheap eats. Occasionally, you can find good dining coupons at Bank of Hawaii’s Online Marketplace Have a Costco membership? Bring your card for access to Costco on all the four major islands. See a few more ideas from this Maui coupons and discounts post. For Kauai, see this list of the best Kauai cheap eats . 6. Bring a few snack from home. It’s helpful to have a stash of your favorite snacks to keep you from paying resort sundries shop prices. I asked our savvy Go Visit Hawaii facebook community for their input on snacks and food that they bring to Hawaii to help save money. See all their suggestions here . 7. Stay where you have kitchen access. Yesterday, I shared advice on how to save money on Hawaii vacation accommodations , mentioning that staying in a condo or vacation villa is a great way to save money. I’ll add a studio with a kitchenette is a great choice, too. If you have the ability to make a few meals in your accommodation, you can really save compared to continually eating out. Making breakfast is a breeze in a Hawaii vacation condo kitchen. —- So, those are the seven major strategies we’ve used to save money on our Hawaii vacation dining.
