Mahalo for taking the time to check out this van listing.I’d like to touch on one of the most common questions I receive: Where can you camp or park overnight on Oʻahu?For liability reasons, I’m not able to give specific recommendations on overnight spots. That said, there are some great resources online—such as hipcamp—where you can find paid overnight parking or camping options. A quick Google search for places on Oʻahu may also reveal some great spots. There might even be a site out there that’s curated a list of locations others have vouched for.My best overall advice is to use good judgment and keep an eye out for safe, sensible places to stay. Please note that municipal parks on Oʻahu are not open for overnight for parking or camping; most of them close between 10 PM and 5 AM.Now...on to the vehicle details...Step into a Time Capsule and cruise around Oahu with our 1990's Retro Van! Get ready to embrace the vibes of our meticulous van that exudes vintage charm.Features:

5The van was perfect! The bed was soooo comfortable. It was a perfect place to cool off after a hike or day at the beach. Matthew was super nice. And the van was extremely neat and clean. You have everything you could possibly need for a trip around the island. I plan on using the van again in the future

5We had an excellent rental experience with Matthew. Great communication, flexibility, and a warm, friendly approach. On top of the affordable price, the van came with all the amenities to enjoy the island, plus a very comfortable bed! We’d be happy to do it again. Thank you for everything!

Rules and policies
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.
