Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025

Taxis

Taxi services are available curbside at the terminal, just outside the baggage claim area. Cabs from several local companies meet arriving flights. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft also operate at the airport, with designated pick-up areas located outside the terminal.

Rental Cars

Major car rental companies have service counters located in the terminal building, directly across from the baggage claim carousels. On-site agencies include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. The rental car lots are a short walk from the terminal.

Public Transportation

The County of Hawai'i's Hele-On Bus system provides public transit service. The bus stop is located on the curb outside the main terminal building. It is the most economical option, but service can be infrequent, so it is highly recommended to check the latest Hele-On Bus schedule for routes and times.
