Convenient and easy to use, ridesharing apps like Uber, Lyft and Holoholo offer seamless transportation across Honolulu, Waikīkī and beyond.

Ridesharing on Oʻahu.

Uber, Lyft and Holoholo are ridesharing apps that connect you with private drivers. They’re widely used in Honolulu, typically cheaper and more convenient than traditional taxis.

We find Uber cars on Oʻahu tend to be newer and nicer to ride in than Lyft vehicles, but both apps operate well. Either service will reliably get you from point A to point B.

Holoholo is a Hawaiʻi-based rideshare company, a nice way to support local. Unlike Uber or Lyft, they avoid surge pricing, meaning fares stay consistent regardless of high demand periods.

Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) has three designated rideshare pick-up zones, making it easy to catch your ride. Follow airport signs or view the pick-up map online.

Uber, Lyft and Holoholo are readily available pick-up around Waikīkī, Ala Moana, Downtown Honolulu, Kailua and Hawaiʻi Kai, but service can be limited on Oʻahu’s West Side and North Shore.

Setting up your Uber, Lyft and Holoholo accounts before your trip is smart. Familiarizing yourself with the app will make your arrival and first rides much faster and easier.
