HONOLULU, May 24, 2021–After opening to drivers in April, holoholo, the new Hawaiʻi-based, locally owned rideshare company founded by longtime SpeediShuttle CEO Cecil Morton, is launching today to riders on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi Island, Maui, Lānaʻi, and Kauaʻi.
Holoholo’s platform offers a marketplace of community drivers where riders can request a vehicle in minutes from their smartphone, see the cost, and have it charged to their credit card, helping riders have access to reliable and safe transportation. Holoholo’s mission is to simplify the ridesharing experience and connect our communities to local businesses in Hawaiʻi. “I am excited to finally bring a locally owned and operated ridesharing service to the people of Hawaiʻi and connect businesses and communities at the push of a button,” Morton said.
Starting today, holoholo riders can download the holoholo Mobility App, or book a ride online. Drivers should download the holoholo Driver App. “With holoholo you’re getting a local company with a platform built on the values of community, sustainability and safety,” Rob Mora, a holoholo spokesperson, said. “Ridesharing is an important part of the transportation eco-system in Hawaiʻi and it’s exciting to see a homegrown brand come to life and do their part to bring earning opportunity and accessible fair pricing to locals and visitors.”
