1998 Classic "Top G" Express

Since many renters seem concerned about the legalities of sleeping or camping in a rental vehicle, I’ve put together some general information to help ease your concerns. While it might technically be illegal to sleep in your rental vehicle in Hawaii, enforcement is extremely rare. The local police have more pressing issues to deal with, and the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) rarely bothers people who are camping in their vehicles. As long as you're parked legally and sleeping in your van at night, you’re not required to respond if someone knocks on your door. If an officer can’t see inside the vehicle to confirm someone is sleeping, all they can do is knock. Should you choose to answer, they cannot arrest you; the conversation will likely focus on safety suggestions and possibly some legal education. If you do interact with local authorities, it’s best to cooperate and move along if they request it. My advice is to use common sense. Park in affluent neighborhoods, well-lit areas, or places with frequent foot traffic. I’ve personally parked overnight at Sunset Beach on the ocean side of the road without any issues. Avoid drawing attention to yourself by drinking, making noise, leaving trash, or playing loud music. Respect others and the environment, and it will go a long way. Do not park on private property or questionable areas. Most parks close their gates at 10:30 PM, but sometimes you can get away with staying overnight. These gates usually reopen around 4:30 AM. You may get locked in the park if you don't exit in time. Keep in mind that crime is present and increasing in the islands, so don’t give anyone a reason to take advantage of you. There are some communities you should avoid. • In the event the you lock yourself out of the Van by accident. Recovery fee is $100. Taken from deposit. Lost key is also $100 fee
