Molokai Airport (MKK) is the principle public airport on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai, located six miles northwest of Kaunakakai. It operates flights connecting to the surrounding islands at Honolulu, Kapalua, Lanai, Kahului, and Kona, via Mokulele Airlines, Island Air, and Pacific Wings. A Molokai Airport rent a car is a great way to get around and see all that “the Friendly Isle” has to offer. Look for great deals on Molokai Airport car rentals and save time and money to explore popular destinations like the Kalaupapa National Historical Park - Ironwood Hills Golf Course or championship Kaluakoi Golf Course, Papohaku Beach Park, and One Ali'i Beach Park. Molokai Airport car rentals are provided in terminal by Budget or in Kaunakakai by Dollar, as well as several smaller local companies. The minimum age to drive in Hawaii is 15 years, but most car rental agencies require drivers to be at least 25. You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Molokai 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. 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.
