On each trip, you're covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.* In New York state, you'll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum.

What should I know before I start driving?

Lanai features a mix of paved and unpaved roads, with many attractions accessible only via dirt tracks that require careful navigation. The island operates on Hawaii Standard Time year-round, and fuel stations are limited, so plan accordingly for longer excursions. Always carry extra water and inform someone of your planned route, as cell phone coverage can be spotty in remote areas of the island.
