The 15-passenger
15 seats.
Zero compromises.
The big one. Room for a wedding party, a university field group, or a church ohana with three generations along. Automatic, two climate zones, and the turning radius of a civilized vehicle, not a shuttle bus.

Why this van
Seven things we made sure of.
- 01
Fits fifteen adults, plus carry-on
Three-point seatbelts every row. Seats are upright bench-style so teams, wedding parties, and family reunions actually fit. No one draws the short straw in the way-back.
- 02
Remove the rear bench for cargo
Pop the last row out and you've got a haul bay for surfboards, tents, cooler stacks, or a luau's worth of gear. Put it back when you're at the airport run.
- 03
Automatic transmission, easy driver rotation
Anyone in the group with a standard US driver's license can take a turn behind the wheel. No CDL required. Great for long Hilo-to-Kona days.
- 04
Rear + front A/C, because the Big Island is big
Two separate climate zones, so row thirteen isn't melting while the driver is crisp. Non-negotiable for Kona afternoons.
- 05
Saddle Road friendly
Paved the whole way across now. Our vans cross it weekly, connecting Hilo to Kona in roughly two and a half hours, cutting the long way down by half.
- 06
Runs on regular unleaded
No premium surprises at the Kea'au or Waikoloa pump. Return it with the same fuel level you picked it up at.
- 07
Curbside delivery, not a rental counter
We meet you at ITO or KOA. Keys, paperwork, quick walk-around, and you're on the highway, not in a shuttle queue.
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van?
No. A standard US driver's license is all you need. No CDL, no endorsement. We ask that the primary driver be 25 or older.
Does the 15-passenger van fit child car seats?
Yes. Every row has three-point seatbelts and LATCH-compatible positions on several seats. Families regularly install two or three child seats across rows two and three without any issue.
Can I drive this van to the Mauna Kea summit?
Paved access goes up to the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station at about 9,000 feet, where our vans handle it comfortably. The summit road above the visitor center is unpaved, requires 4WD, and rental vans are not permitted beyond that point by every rental company on the island.
Fifteen people.
One van. Done.
