The idyllic islands of Hawaii are a year-round paradise and the lingering days of summer are one of the busiest times to visit. While all of the islands are equally beautiful, they each have a unique charm that appeals to different travelers depending on the type of vacation you’re looking to have.

For starters, if you’re planning on renting a car to drive around the islands, it would be wise to book your car first as inventory is extremely limited and tends to book weeks and even months in advance.

Or skip the traditional car rental services and check out the San Francisco-based startup Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where locals rent out their personal vehicles on the platform. The entire booking process is seamless and all communication is done through the app (or desktop). The platform inventory ranges from the popular Jeep Wrangler to the ultra-luxury Bentley Continental GT Convertible.

Before you book your car, start planning your trip. This guide to Hawaii will break down some of the islands, what to expect on each island and the best things to do while you’re there.
