Kauai Transportation Tips by spitball

Getting TO/AROUND: There is a bus system on the Island of Kauai, but it wasn't until probably the second day before I even saw one on the road. These bus' are not the usual, more like a cube van than your regular transit bus. If you really want to explore the hidden area's on your own time, I'd go with the car rental rather than transit. I never did see one of these bus' up in the Waimea Canyon, and that area is a must see, or should be tops on anyones list.
For two full weeks of rental on my Chrysler from: Dollar Rent a Car, out of Lahue airport, it cost me - $890.00. All the other lower priced rental companies where fresh out.
