Hello travellers to Hawaii!We like to send out a newletter a few times per year when we have information we feel will help you when you are travelling to Hawaii.
Oahu TravellersThe first item affects visitors to the Island of Oahu during the dates of November 7 - 13. There is a large APEC Summit happening - the President of the United States and the leaders of 20 other countries will be on the island with their motorcades and security forces.
Also present will be the CEOs of 150 worldwide corporations. Their travel will take them between Waikiki and Ko Olina, and there could be some street closures, delays, and possibly a shortage of rental vehicles during this period of time. http://www.civilbeat.com/topics/apec-2011-hawaii-survival-guide found this link - it might help.
December TravellersAnyone travelling to Hawaii over the holiday season? If you have not booked your mini vans yet, get a hold of us asap, as some dates are already completely sold out. As the time gets closer, all vehicles may be totally sold out or blocked out at our rates, so if you already have your dates, contact us and get your bookings while the rates are still good and available.
Last year, there were so many sold outs over the holidays, many last minute travellers were left without vehicles, or subject to very high last minute pricing.
If you are travelling in later December and staying into January, you will be travelling during two different pricing seasons - the December high season, and the lower season which begins on January 1.
We are sending out many quotes these days to show both options, booking one rental for the entire time at the high December rates, and the breaking the reservation into two - late December and January low season - this option could save hundreds of dollars, but will mean returning to the rental counter to redo your paperwork on the January date.In most cases, this is very worthwhile, as there can be large savings. Also, for those that can not get mini vans in December because of sold outs , and can survive the December period with a smaller vehicle, we can book mini vans for the January portion of the trip.
2012 RatesWe have most of our 2012 Rates in now, so if you are planning a trip in 2012, we can now book you at the lowest rates.
We are excited about a new project we are working on!!! Coupons!!! We are in contact with businesses in Hawaii that are of interest to travellers and tourists.
They are providing us with coupons for various discounts or items for you to use when visiting their destinations in Hawaii. We are setting up pages on our website for each island, so you can click on the island you are visiting and print the coupons you wish to take and use.
Our goal is to help our clients by providing the coupons, and maybe introducing them to businesses they may not have been aware of, and as well, to help support local businesses in Hawaii that cater to tourists, or may be of interest to visitors.
This site is in its early stages, and will grow over time, so check back from time to time - we will most likely remind you of the site on your reservation confirmations for car rentals as well.
