Driving Tips for Lihue

Remember the following tips to help your trip go smoothly:

  • Scenic Routes: There are plenty of scenic routes to drive in Lihue and around Kauai, including Waimea Canyon Drive. Just be sure to pay attention to the road and pull over for any photo ops.
  • Road Conditions: Most of the roads are paved, but some in rural areas can be narrow and winding with potholes or other hazards.
  • One-lane Bridges: The island is home to several of these, and local custom is to proceed across the bridge 5 to 7 cars at a time, so be sure to respect this rule.

Malou was very kind and professionnal, with great advise. She suggested me an upgrade to a Ford Mustang convertible for a very little additional cost, in 10min I had my beautiful car. Service was fast and great!
