I can't fathom what you'd do for a week in Waikiki without a car. Do you never leave Waikiki? Or do you cram yourself into shuttles to get anywhere?I can't imagine staying in the Ko Olina resort area without a car. Waikiki, yes. Ko Olina, no.

Did you have trouble taking Uber, etc around Waikiki? We were going to rely on it while at Waikiki for a week, then to Aulani to stay put for 2 nights and not leave til we head back to HNL. I wonder if that won't work. Thanks.I have been with twice and once without. The time without we were in Waikiki. Both times with we were at Aulani. The trips to Aulani were way better, partially because Waikiki sucks and Ko Olina is awesome, and partially because with a car we could do all of the other things on the island rather than being trapped in Waikiki. Being trapped in Ko Olina would be even worse as it is much smaller.

This.If you want to do anything off of the resort(which you really do), then yes, you need a car. Aulani is not close to anything, and most of the activities that people do are spread out throughout the Island. It is NOT Disney World. I think many people book Aulani and think it is like WDW. Nothing is like WDW, anywhere. A good alternative, depending on what you want to do, is to book a private tour guide to take you to places. We always looked at our trips as a trip to Hawaii, with Aulani being the hotel where we stay.
