FWIW, the last two times I left the island, I paid more to park my car at KOA than what I paid for a rental car at the destination. This was before the recent parking price hike. Next time it will be cheaper for me to get dropped off at ITO and fly to HNL to make a connection to the madland. Crazy that it's cheaper to burn all all that excess fuel hauling me to HNL and back than to let my car bake in the sun at KOA and risk getting stolen.
Somehow, letting the airlines profit $12-$40 off me is preferable to feeding the bureaucracy some multiples of that to let my car sit almost a mile from their airport (with no shuttle).
