To help balance the state budget and provide funds to combat the effects of climate change, the Hawaii Legislature proposes a new car rental fee. This fee, should it pass, would be in addition to the two existing fees.
Currently, Hawaii has among the highest rental car fees in the nation. Right now, anyone that rents a car here must pay a $4.50 per day vehicle customer facility charge plus a $5 per day rental motor vehicle surcharge. But, as Hawaii’s legislature eyes ways to “balance tourism” and raise funds to offset climate change, they’re looking at new fees and taxes to do so.
