Reserve your spot on the Private Airport Shuttle to Waikiki today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Confirm 24 hours in advance
Call or message your confirmation number and flight details 24 hours before arrival to guarantee a prompt pickup and avoid delays.
Allow 15 minutes after luggage
Baggage claim can add time—plan on at least 15 minutes between deplaning and scheduled pickup to keep the transfer on schedule.
Note the fare structure
The listed $150 rate is for a private, one-way shuttle (vehicle), not a per-person fare—book the shuttle for your group size accordingly.
Expect traffic at peak hours
Morning commutes and late-afternoon hotel drop-offs can add 10–20 minutes; build buffer time for tight schedules or connecting flights.
Government ID & flight details
Drivers require ID/booking and arrival flight/terminal info to coordinate pickup quickly.
Carry-on roller bag
Wheeled luggage is easiest to stow in the shuttle’s cargo area and speeds loading/unloading.
Collapsible stroller
Bring a collapsible stroller if traveling with young children; it must be folded for storage during transfer.
Reusable water bottle
Bottled water is provided but a refillable bottle reduces waste and keeps you hydrated between stops.
