Getting to and from Lihue Airport (LIH)

Ways to reach LIH

• Rental car

  Rental car counters

  Rental car counters are in the terminal near baggage claim. Most visitors rent a car, because island towns and beaches are spread out.

  Kauaʻi Bus

  The county bus is infrequent and restricts large luggage. A third-party guide says the county has waived bus fares until further notice. Check the Kauaʻi Bus website for current schedules.

• Taxi

  Taxi and limousine

  The airport's ground transportation page lists taxicab and limousine service. Confirm the pickup location on the day of travel.

  Transportation network companies use designated pickup zones at the curb. The airport publishes a TNC pickup zone map. Pickup spots moved during 2026 road work, so follow the signs.
