I was lucky, but then again I only rented a car to see Kauai (sp) for a day. Probably not as bad there as Oahu, where I stayed. It stinks that you should even have to worry about it in Hawaii, since they rely so much on tourism for their economy. But then again, it is a Socialist Utopia, so go figure. Actually I enjoyed the heck out of my stay there over all, but it could be better.
