Question

Do I need to rent a car for Big Island?

Answer

Renting a car is unnecessary if you plan to spend most of your time at Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort. However, suppose you plan to venture beyond the village and explore most of the Big Island, such as the volcanoes, waterfalls, or beaches farther away. In that case, we highly recommend renting a car for convenience and flexibility.
