Waikiki has affordable parking spaces, but drivers have to know where to look
Parking stalls in Waikiki are a mirage.
You drive toward what looks like an empty stall only to find a moped or a small sports car parked in the spot.
There's a trick to it, said Rick Egged, president of the Waikiki Improvement Association.
If you know where to look, you can find affordable public parking at hotels and shopping centers in and around Waikiki without driving around for hours.
"Waikiki has more parking than you think, Egged said. "If you eat and shop here, most likely you can park for free."
His association has partnered with some hotels and shopping complexes to come up with "holoholo parking," affordable parking with rates starting at $1 per hour. This is to supplement the municipal parking lots.
Here are some of the parking options in Waikiki.
