If you’ve ever typed “Is there Uber in Hawaii?” or “Does Hawaii have rideshare?” into a search bar while planning your trip, you’re not alone. Visitors are often unsure what transportation options exist across the islands—and even locals sometimes wonder if there’s a better way to get around without depending on apps based on the mainland.
That’s where holoholo comes in. As the only locally owned rideshare service in Hawaiʻi, we focus on island values and the needs of both visitors and kamaʻāina.
So, is there rideshare in Hawaiʻi?
Yes, but it depends on where you are. Rideshares operate in select areas like Honolulu and Kahului, but they’re not consistently available on every island or in more remote parts of Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, or Hawaiʻi Island. Even when they are, wait times can be unpredictable, and prices may shift throughout the day.
holoholo connects you with locally based drivers across four islands—Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and Hawaiʻi Island—with a fleet that includes everything from economy rides to larger vehicles for groups or travelers with luggage. It’s built with the local landscape in mind, and it shows.
Why choose a local rideshare service?
Most rideshare apps are built to serve dense, urban mainland cities. That model doesn’t always work well here. holoholo was created in Hawaiʻi, by people who know the islands and understand the unique transportation challenges our communities face.
Whether you’re heading to HNL for a red-eye flight or getting picked up from your hotel after a beach day, holoholo offers upfront pricing with no surge. You can book right away or schedule ahead, and all drivers are locally screened and trained. It’s about keeping more of the ride’s value in the islands and giving travelers a dependable option grounded in local experience.
The giants or holoholo?
While Lyft and Uber have become household names across the mainland, they aren’t locally based in Hawaiʻi. holoholo was built from the ground up for Hawaiʻi’s roads, airports, and pace of life. It’s not just another app—it’s a connection to local knowledge and a more grounded way to move through your day.
If you’re traveling with ʻohana, need an airport pickup, or just want to avoid the uncertainty of fluctuating fares, holoholo gives you more control. Plus, you’ll be supporting a local company that’s rooted in community.
Book your ride the local way
Whether you’re heading to work in town or catching a flight out of Kona, holoholo makes it easier to ride on your terms. Our app lets you request a ride in minutes or schedule one in advance, with flat fares and clear pickup points.
