Know Your Options
When you are renting a car in the Hawaiian Islands make sure you are informed about your different options. Before you rent a car check with your credit card company as well as your current auto insurance company to see if there is any coverage for you when you rent a car. Some credit cards offer insurance as a member benefit, and if they do you should use it.
