Car Rentals at the Lanai Airport

Lanai Airport (LNY) is a public airport located 3 miles southwest of Lanai City, serving as the only airport of the Hawaiian island of Lanai. The airport primarily serves scheduled inter-island and commuter/air taxi traffic, with some unscheduled charter and general aviation activity. A new passenger terminal complex was recently constructed including improved roadway access, parking, and rental car facilities, as well as new cargo and airport support facilities. The island has few taxicabs, making a Lanai Airport rent a car the best way to get around explore beyond the luxury hotels and golf courses. This remote and secluded island is very different from its neighbors where tourists are actively discouraged (or prohibited) from leaving paved roads even in 4WD vehicles. Here it is one of the major tourist activities. Look for great deals on Lanai Airport car rentals and save time and money to explore all that this fascinating island has to offer. Lanai Airport is served by Mokulele Airlines, Island Air, and Pacific Wings with flights to Honolulu, Kapalau, Molokai, Kahului, and Kona. Lanai Airport car rentals are only available from one nationally affiliated rental car dealer: Lanai City Service, a Dollar affiliate. To make the most of your trip, consider renting a 4-wheel-drive vehicle, which here will likely mean a Jeep Wrangler, although other car types are offered as well. You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Lanai Airport rent a car agencies (although some will take a cash deposit depending on a credit check), along with proof of insurance if you decline the vendor's coverage options. The minimum age to drive in Hawaii is 15 years, but most car rental agencies require drivers to be at least 25. Expect to pay about 25% more for gas than the average mainland US prices. Although most main highways are fairly easy to navigate and well maintained, many rental car companies have restricted areas. Plan your route and check with the agency first, to keep from voiding insurance coverage if your rental car breaks down or gets stuck. All roads and street are well marked, and many feature red-capped warrior signs provided by the Hawaii Visitors Bureau that mark major visitor attractions and scenic spots. Always check the weather before driving long distances as sudden rainstorms can arise without warning. Follow Hawaii’s strict seatbelt laws and carry a cell-phone and emergency items with you in case of a breakdown or accident on a remote part of the island. Jaywalking is common on the island, so watch out for pedestrians, especially in congested areas.
