Moving to Hawaii? GET YOUR HAWAII DRIVERS LICENSE ASAP!
by David Kucic, Hawaii Real Estate Agent
If you are moving to Hawaii either as a civilian or member of the United States Armed Forces, make sure that you put getting your Hawaii drivers license at the top of your priority list.
Once you get your Hawaii drivers license, you will be able to obtain "Kama'aina Rates" for services ranging from hotel discounts to golf greens fees.
Let me give you a few examples:
- Kama'aina rate for a very nice hotel in Waikiki is $169 per night and includes parking and an in-room movie for each day that you stay. Someone without the drivers license can expect to pay at least $300 per night for the exact same room. We recently traveled to Kauai and were treated like kings because we were Kama'aina. We booked a room for a standard, garden view room at $129 per night because we knew we were just going to sleep there. The rest of our time was going to be spent on the golf course and at the beach. When we checked in, the receptionist asked if it would be okay for them to upgrade us (free of charge) to a deluxe ocean front room! Of course we accepted and were put into a beautiful $500 per night room for $129. I later found out that because we were Kama'aina and most likely would come back some other time, they were more obliged to give us the upgrade rather than someone else who may never come back.
- Golf in Hawaii: Greens fees start at approximately $125 up to $250 for most of the courses on all of the islands. These are the rates for non-Kama'aina. If you are Kama'aina, your fees will be between $45 and $190 which is a significant savings.
No other form of identification will work as well as the Hawaii Drivers License. You may find an establishment here and there that may take your word for it but for the most part, you really need to have your license.
Even though you may just love your license from your current state, do yourself a big favor and get your Hawaii license and let it save you thousands of dollars during your stay in paradise.
We are not the first state to offer discounts for residents! Florida and Nevada definitely have some of their own discounts.
Aloha!
