Last few times I've asked friends and neighbors to drive me over (usually coordinating it with their once every few months trip to Cosco), But that's getting old. I could take the bus but it would be a long (12 to 18 hour) ordeal each way from Puna till the plane leaves close to midnight. Lots of walking also
I plugged a random date into Orbitz and found you can get a one-way car rental from Hilo to Kona for $66 (includes taxes etc). I plugged in another random date and it was $150.
So if you plan ahead, a few one-way rentals might be the way to go.
I'm hoping now that Island Air has been resurrected they will return to the Big Island including their service between ITO and KOA. If I remember right their fares were $29 each way.
