Another part of my trip to sort out is a rental car in Hawaii. Im flying into Waikiki and spending 4 days there and then heading up to the north shore for a few weeks and obviously will get a car for that time. Not so worried about in Waikiki itself.

My questions are should i pre order a car before i leave Perth, or just look around and hire one once I'm in Waikiki. I don't really want to waste too much time looking around but have been told ill get a better deal on the ground once landed

Also any ideas on roof racks? Will i need them or can i just strap the boards to the roof with a noodle and lockable tie downs, or should i take some removable roof racks, or try and hire a car with them..

I was thinking about a mid sized 4wd still like Rav or similar..Maybe a Jeep..

Whilst I'm on the North shore i will be loading it up with long boards and short boards, three in total and maybe a sup but not too often, hoping to just surf straight out the front mostly

Any help or tips would be appreciated..Thanks
