Lanai Getting Around

There is no public transportation system on Lanai. However, some of the hotels and resorts provide shuttles to and from the Lanai Airport and around the island, but only for their guests. If you want to explore the island on your own, you'll need to rent a car.

A few compact cars are available, but most of Lanai's sights require a four-wheel-drive vehicle as there are only a few paved roads. It's best to reserve your car in advance because the island's fleet of vehicles is limited. The only car rental company is Dollar Rent-A-Car, located at Lanai City Service/Lanai Plantation Store. This is also where the island's only gas station is located.

Lanai doesn't know traffic lights or traffic jams, but it's still possible to get lost. It's recommended to get a map at the gas station before you leave.
