Ha, injecting a 4 decade old experience into a thread on an current issue is bold at best.

As I mentioned earlier, I've been going to Hawaii every year since 1983, always get a rental car which I reserve in advance and never had a problem.

I have had situations where they ran out of the car I reserved and I got a free upgrade to SUVs, happened 4 years in a row. I now just rent SUVs as I've grown to like them.

I have found over the years that there are a few times a year when it gets hard to rent a car and those times are:

Spring break (all islands).

Ironman Competition (Big Island)

So I just don't go during those times. In fact, the time the Big Island is the most empty is starting a few days after the Ironman ends, which has become my preferred time to go.

My friend have an RV, but no towed car. They booked a campground in Yosemite in May. They reserved a van for 3 days at $300 per day. That is just ridiculous.
