Volcanic highs in Honolulu
Take a deep breath and relax into your island life. The capital city of Hawaii is a place with plenty to do, but nobody is out to do it in a hurry.
So take your time exploring the shops of the Ala Moana Center, historic landmarks, and cultural sites of the city like Iolani Palace, but when you’re over the rush hour traffic in town, make sure to head out and revel in the natural beauty, perfect beaches, and endless outdoor activities Oahu Island has in store.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
