Where will my driver meet me at Honolulu Airport (HNL)?

For arrivals, your driver will meet you at the ground transportation area on the ground level of the airport. You will receive a confirmation email with detailed pickup instructions and a photo of the meeting point before your trip.

What is the difference between a shared shuttle and a private transfer to HNL?

The shared shuttle picks up multiple passengers from different Waikīkī hotels on a scheduled run and is the most affordable option for solo travelers or couples, starting from $22 per passenger. A private transfer provides a dedicated vehicle exclusively for your party with flexible timing and more luggage space. For groups of 3 or more, private often works out to a similar cost per person.
